Few captions if one doesn't want to visit MSN.

As it so happens, capturing a screenshot or recording a video featuring nudity and other explicit content is a violation of Xbox's rules and regulations.

Clueless about this, Daddy-Vegas' recordings that featured nudity were automatically uploaded to Microsoft's servers, triggering an auto-ban lasting a whole year. To make matters worse, Daddy-Vegas had no intention of sharing these clips. As such, the hapless player is appealing the suspension, which he hopes will rule in his favor.

Honestly, it's ridiculous that Microsoft would ban a player for recording a game clip, nudity or not. Once a player purchases a game, it stands to reason that they should have full control over the game. Some of the most watched clips of any number of games uploaded on YouTube feature extreme violence (looking at you, Mortal Kombat). So, why is nudity a problem for Microsoft?

Xbox already dropping Ls this early in the year.

Why are captures uploaded to MS Servers? Feels like MS as a company just wants complete control over everything you do

That's just messed up.

He did not even share it? You mean to tell me the console reports back to MS what you captured?

Kekeke why are you surprised? You'd be shocked just how invasive companies are with hardware.

Larian is spending months of dev resources on a platform where probably 1% of their sales come from

Well, that's one way to convince more people to abandon your platform. There might be an issue if his actions impacted other players, but they didn't in this case.

What does a one-year ban mean? Can he access his games or is he completely cut off?
