I pirated 360 games and MS banned me, what the hell?

.... what?

Sounds like he game shared with the Oman account, got a console and account ban on that one, and his other US account remains in tact.

This is a sticky situation. He could get his stuff if he got another Xbox, but barring that is SOL. Not sure how to feel.
 
If i were robbed my physical games would be replaced. However when my 3DS was stolen all my games were completely gone for good with no way of replacing them.

I don't have a 3DS, are your digital purchases tied to an account? If so why can't you redownload them on another 3DS? (Sorry, as I said I don't know how things work on the 3DS)
 
Again, a police report was filed and faxed to them. They said too fucking bad.

Didn't see that anywhere in your post. My condolences, I was under the impression that as long as you filed a police report they would let you re-download.

Nintendo has no account system. Games are tied to hardware.

Well, the main reason I was defending the OP was being he couldn't access his legitimately purchased digital games anymore. If his U.S. account remains unbanned, then I don't really see a problem.

Because Nintendo haven't figured out what an account is. You can't redownload your 3DS or Wii U games on any console other than the ones they're bought on.

Wasn't posted in this thread, but anytime I've mentioned it that's always the answer i get, which I can assure, you isn't true.
 
So, after 3 years of hoarding LEGAL retail games I got banned, console AND my account. Don't know if there's a connection to Oman thing or whatever but im furious! Since i got over 50 LEGALLY BOUGHT GAMES ON XBOX LIVE MARKETPLACE OVER 2-3 YEARS, and over 10 original retail games in collection!!!!

What about those people who are STILL playing games on flashed console just burning discs and not supporting MS and devs, like for AGES!!!

I'm just furious!

Great moment to decide what side I'm going for next gen...
Sounds like you violated tos
 

Put me on team breaking TOS so..... ;)

Kind of like at work today. Dude parks in a handicap parking spot before we're open and before valet is there. Parking patrol apparently sees him get out and comes in and tickets the dude. Then he comes in our place and yells at us what we're going to do for his $461 dollar ticket. Complains what are we going to do about it.. and ya.. there was not one single car in parking lot in any part of it.. he could of parked anywhere yet chose the handicapped parking spot.

You know what I did when I saw heard this go down?

I did a Ha! :D
 
Well, quoting it wouldn't let me include the quote for the question you were answering, but here is the 1st time anyone mentions, transfer license option thing, and was mentioned only by OP.

The question was if was for the Oman thing, which nobody uses transfer licences to actually use the exploit, when people uses this option to actually share with others the content of one account, both console and gamertags on that console are banned, know that is the most common reason why people get banned today, in the oman thread I remember reading someone else that got banned for also transfer licences, and the ban was actually same message in account, marketplace theft.

Oman thread about same marketplace theft for transfering content:
Link1
Link2

Also keep in mind you need a new account to enter xbox.com and in the forums ask qhy your console is banned, not any other options they let you for a console/account ban, they actually will never answer for that is even on xbox.com/consoleban that information.
 
I remembered my US account details. Logged in and its not banned.

So... Oman thing backfired.

look. you shared a game with your friends right ?

you downloaded the game with that oman account and played it with your main account.

thats why only those two got locked.

this has nothing to do with oman.

the folks at x360achievements are explicitly adivising that you dont share accounts to download games from oman or elsewhere.
 
to the op,sorry i dont believe you,something shady about all your history, maybe im wrong but i got that vibe

but is true that they cant be so unilateral when banning accounts,at least they should put in contact with you to discuss the situation,you a are a client and they need to serve clients, not punish them

Yea, sounding real shady from my POV, OP.

Also agree that if you're going to ban someone and prevent them from playing games they paid for (call it leasing if you want to, I don't agree), they should have to give you concrete evidence/reasons as to why.
I've been a bit worried for a while now, because I've been shifting around my games to different HDDs for various reasons (4GB > RROD console > 20GB > RROD console > 120GB > RROD console > 250GB).
Besides having DRM issues up the kazoo.

I havent shared any of my game with any of my friend, not my account. I have never shared an account. I used Oman exploit (ONE ACCOUNT) on my console, but never gave access to it anyone, nor for my primary account with shitload of stuff on it.

First 2 pages with account suspension... Hm.. And all recent. Like last couple of hours.

Microsoft bans in waves. It's likely just a bunch of people got caught in the same wave as you for cheating, game sharing or other infractions. That's why the posts have come all at once. The fact that no one else is reporting a ban for the Oman thing heavily points to something else being the reason you got the axe.

im on my phone so i cant look up the quote but you wrote that you shared your account with 3 peeps in that oman thread.
 
Yeah, the OP sounds shady as hell lol. This is one thing I worry about with the shift to all-digital though.. their ability to take everything away in an instant.
 
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.
Yeah. If I stole something, come at me and accuse me. creating their own pocket of Draconian bullshit and then cowardly abusing that power by naming themselves judge, jury and executioner is possibly the top reason i'll never buy another ms product again. This behavior has become so much the norm that people actually defend it but I will not accept it.
 
You violated the Terms of Service(tos) and you got banned.

The severity of the punishment is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. At least they could ban it for a certain time and not forever or over 9000. Or maybe have the ability to get back your account by paying a fee.
 
He couldn't get banned for the Oman thing, since it was a glitch. You're not stealing if something glitches up and you take advantage of it.

Uh, what? Did you look at the date and threads? Most of those bans are for random shit that's against the TOS, and the first two pages go back to September 18th.

Microsoft probably pooled a shit load of accounts together that did the Oman shit from the looks of it.

It's happening.

If this isn't a joke, read through the account banning threads. Bans range from piracy, console tampering, avatar tampering.
 
Changing your region to get stuff for free, that you should not be able to get for free in your actual region seems shady as fuck to me. When I saw the Oman thread I was blown away that it was even allowed on GAF.
