An Xbox player was given a year-long ban for recording nude scenes in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Any clips you record on your Xbox are uploaded to Microsoft’s servers by default and may be automatically flagged as explicit content, as /u/Daddy-Vegas on Reddit found out when he automatically received a combined 390 day (4+21+365) suspension from Xbox Live for three clips he recorded.
His first appeal was apparently rejected, but subsequent appeals led to his ban being lifted after the gaming press picked up the story.

From the post:
as of now; I can’t play any game that requires a network connection (Basically making all the money I put into MW3 over the last 6 months even more worthless)
console ownership looks like a worse option everyday. Fuck microsoft also
it’s worth remembering that this is just an xbox thing, the pc master race weirdness isn’t needed
edit, just to ask you to be better lemmy community, we’ve totally lost everything that was good about this place and now it’s just become a mirror of modern reddit.
i know this falls on deaf ears, and just causes more people to press the angry down button immediately, but all I ask is that you try to be better and foster a better community.
I am not a pc masterrace guy, Something as simple as online gaming getting put behind a subscription is not okay and I will not pretend it is. Console experiences are highly curated by the corporations controlling them, you don’t own your device. This is mostly true for windows and mac users too. I am not a pc fan I am a console hater, and maybe a little bit of a linux cultist.
I think the community downvoting you for being rude is completely fine bud
it’s worth remembering that this is just an xbox thing, the pc master race weirdness isn’t needed
this is rude to you?
When literally no one mentioned pc masteranything, and you accuse people of being peak reddit after comparing a random comment to a shitty community stereotype?
Yes, sweetie, thats rude.
It is, it’s not like Sony is any better
literally sony has never done this, no one has done this aside from microsoft, I thought this community was better than this crap but i guess you can’t stop the reddit from infesting everything
Sorry mate, that’s just not true.

yes they have banned accounts, they haven’t banned accounts for uploading videos? steam has banned accounts too is that bad? what’s the bad thing here.
Criticises somebody by claiming their point is just “pc master race weirdness”, an implication which usually means they’re behaving in a narrow minded, arrogant way
Then proceeds to make a 2 paragraph edit requesting everyone else who’s downvoted their negative behaviour behave as a better community (doubling down on being patronising, I’ll call it)
Very hypocritical, absolutely hilarious, and not self aware at all
usually means they’re behaving in a narrow minded, arrogant way
nope not saying that, that’s something you made up. I said pc master race weirdness, where everything not pc is described as being inferior to the goal, which is pc only.
this kind of thing kills communities, and breeds the hivemindness you see on reddit. I don’t’ care about the downvotes because literally they mean nothing on lemmy. I care that this community has drastic shifted to the hivemind circlejerk you find on reddit in the past few weeks/months. And that this is a good example of it playing out.
I know you won’t like this and we’ll get right back on pressing the angry no button immediately, that’s a thing. But I’m hoping the people here can sit back and try to understand that the weirdo reddit stuff, i don’t know, do we have to spread it here? it just sucks to see.
Interesting to see you view a hivemind when in fact it’s just the actual community disagreeing with your negative attitude and behaviour.
Did you mean “pc master race weirdness” in the non-existent positive constructive way? I didn’t make anything up, I attributed an implication to your words from the way they’re usually used.
You’re the problem you are arguing against and are too defensive and narrow minded to simply admit it
Company with market cap of $2.75 trillion can’t even plan a fucking feature properly and then blames the gamers for their own fucking stupidity.
Also, I’ll honestly be shocked if MS views this as “bad press” since it was only a few years ago that they ignored all the bad press when it come to banning Minecraft players for things they said in their own private servers.
That still happens, the bad press stopped happening, but people still lose access to Minecraft for what they do in private worlds that are “friends only.”
I think people wanting to say horrible stuff on their own server is disgusting, but what’s more disgusting is the weird Microsoft Nanny State that says you can be banned permanently for that…
I expect Microsoft to stand firm that they don’t give a shit about bad press.
Honestly, Nazis and shitty people use those crevasses to hide their plots and they don’t deserve nice things or safe spaces.
Are you also one of the people who would ban all pornography because a teen might watch it somewhere, somehow?
More surveillance and control is not the answer. In fact, it’s never the answer, unless the question is “what is an overbearing infringement on civil liberty?”
