Sony doesn't for sure.
.
If it is that free game thing
Be more like sony MS
Your fuck ups? Too bad
EA even honored the "keep all $20 origin games free" thing
This is a really good question--OP, did all profiles on your console get banned?
Probably the System ID, MAC address or IP address associated with different region accounts on the same system.

why would you want consequences for their screw ups? like they'll go out of business because they're going to miss a few bucks on their fuck up, because you know, they're not a billion dollar company and all.
I don't think Sony does it, I have a European and Japanese account on my ps3 and snag free stuff all the time for years.

I see, thank you. Reading the first page there's five or six posts questioning whether this would result in a ban. If this is why the OP was banned I wouldn't be surprised

Nothing wrong with digital in regards to this ban just simple breaking TOS

I have never shared anything! I want and keep my accounts only for myself, for every possible console that i have, and i have every console since ps2, gamecube, xbox era. Portable included.
So you take away his whole account? All the games you've ever bought? I understand taking away the games he downloaded from Oman but everything hes ever bought and done on your platform?
Incredibly excessive.

Seems like a way to turn people towards piracy, or do MS expect banned accounts to apologize and buy all the games again?
Didnt read OP or you just like throwing around accusations?

This. A perm ban is pretty serious business. Not very often they issue a questionable ban IIRC.
If anything, you could always go complain about it on the Xbox.com forums. They have a specific place just for "Why was I banned?". They sometimes provide more incite as to why. And it's a pretty good read, too.

That's the way Microsoft tend to see it if you're knowingly exploiting a mistake of theirs to get free shit.
I remember there was some sloppy coding in FIFA's Ultimate Team mode where you could buy a pack of virtual cards from the marketplace, and if you yanked your internet connection at the right time, the purchase was cancelled, but you still had the cards. Everyone who took advantage of that that was permabanned.
That narrows down the console, but how would you proceed if there were several XBL profiles on the machine? Ban 'em all, guilt by association?

Games all gone. Fuck digital, physical disc all the way. They wanted to make the system always online too. Thank god they 180 that shit.
Same. I don't think they really care all that much.

They banned users for downloading Halo 4 content that wasn't supposed to be available yet last year.

I wasn't sure, that's why I asked.
That's pretty shit. Sorry dude.
Can only speak for Valve, but I can't think of any specific exploits that mirror the Oman stuff. Now Ubisoft seem to have a digital fuckup of some kind every month that nets people free games. More often than not they have sucked it up as "their fault" and moved on.

All those legally bought DD games being taken away as well is BS though
You OWN those
You OWN those
This. It's one thing to ban the Oman account and console, quite another to ban the account that had nothing to do with it. Besides, this has happened with other regions without a single ban, why start now? These isoLated cases are probably related to something else.
All of your content is tied to your account and by breaking ToS you lose your account.

Can't wait till you join majority of people in this thread, and post something relevant.
Yeah it was that DD games that got him. Wasn't the fact that he took advantage of something he wasn't supposed to.
and then unbanned all of them when they realized that was a bullshit move to pull.

Aren't digital games fun?
Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, or Valve could all easily do this.
The point there isn't why it happened, it's the fact that it can happen at all.
You don't "own" anything digital, you're paying for access to a license - which can obviously be revoked.
Yeah, physical games often have such a disclaimer as well, but obviously they can't just be taken away like this.
Oh man, that must have been it.
