Doesn't seem like now is the best time to start banning people for this type of stuff with next-gen right around the cornet. I don't think MS want a lot of angry people with their only console banned going into next gen.

The friend thought they would want to be nice around the time that the new console was coming out, so the friend thought it was okay to violate the ToS and steal from them.

Is that about right?

 

[Immaculate]

We know how this turned out last time

The choice is getting easier...

did he "test" 50 games?

Your "friend"?

Here we go again

Is your friend's name Zumblakladla?

Using exploits to get shit is frowned upon. Who knew.

Smells like bullshit

cynical gaf being cynical gaf i see

 

[Vire]

This again?

Hopefully we learned our lesson by now GAF.

 

[flippedb]

Well, try not breaking the ToS next time?

 

[Dennis]

 

[slapnuts]

Your "friend"?

lol

 

[Dukey]

I checked his game history, he has never played Rayman Legends and he isn't banned

Didnt he say his Xbox is banned but not his account?

 

[TheBlueBomber]

Yes, friend. Not me. My gamertag is MR BLACKMAGIK for the "detectives" to look up.

We were just asking, jeez, no need to be hostile

It's a "mysterious xbox ban" thread. They end with the same twist 99.99999999999% of the time.

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

Why not get you "friend" to contact Microsoft instead of asking GAF?

I'm not asking anything... Just letting people know since the bosnia/oman thread was pretty big. I'm not posting his gamertag. His bosnia account did get banned too, HeedlessZebra36.

But has anyone actually been banned for it? I thought no.

 

[Cheddahz]

If his Xbox was banned, he wouldn't be online right now and I believe when MS bans an account, they also ban a console as well (that is what it seems like at least)

 

[terrisus]

*rubs chin*

I don't know... this all sounds so... familiar... I can't quite put my finger on it...

Well, a few more days of entertainment at least.

 

[Riggs]

Guilty til proven innocent.

Spin more wheels then a lazy susan, and I am innocent until my guilt is provennn.

Takes a ton of effort to not be cynical. These things go the same way SO often. Even if you reserve judgement, its still at the back of your mind that something is afoot.

 

[Glorified G]

Your friend is not a real GAFer

Should have followed Kenan to SNL.

The orange soda skits that could have been...

You need to be less transparent.

Remember the last thread?

Yes, I would imagine Microsoft is pretty worried about potentially losing all of those customers who don't pay for games.

I'm just going to leave this here.

i said in the last thread. getting banned shouldn't take away the games you already bought. i don't care if you pirated either. paying for something is paying for something. if you get banned you should still have access to every single piece of content you bought.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Here we go again? lol


OP... Get your friend or you to ask on the xbox forums with the banned gamertag. Also give us a link too.

 

[Tinkleberry]

they auditioned around the same time..... He didn't make it.


don't read this if you don't want your childhood shattered

they're also no longer friends

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

Unless mass bans are happening I wish GAF would lock threads like this.

 

[Hattori]

I know it's in their TOS, but it's dumb to have this policy in the first place.

 

[GrumpyOutlander]

I got my console banned in 2010, but the account was never so much as sent a warning so it is possible to only get one or the other.

 

[Dukey]

Yes, as long as doing so doesn't involve using the service you stole from.

I know it's in their TOS, but it's dumb to have this policy in the first place.

What's dumber is that they continue to mistakenly offer games for free in various regions. And then blame others for taking advantage of their continued mistakes. If that's what this is.

Come on TC, the 1st movie hasn't even been released yet.

We don't need a sequel so soon.

 

[d31m0s]

He did not get banned for downloading the game.He either shared it or did something else noone has gotten banned for using the country game alone.

 

[shuttaman]

[Callibretto]

What's done is done. The more interesting question is whether your friend is gonna buy new 360, wait for xb1, or ready to jump in to playstation camp?

You do realize its probably not why this person got banned either, just like the last guy, i'm sure there's something else involved

 

[Mentok]

I wonder how this will turn out...

Beat me to it!

 

[spannicus]

I got my modded 360 banned in Korea when I played Gears 2 early... Damn you Gears 2.

And I see the people that will use this thread to push their Sony agenda have arrived. Yay.

Considering there hasnt been mass-bannings, yes.
