Same thing happens to any digital content if you get banned from Steam/Origin/PSN/Battle.Net. Im surprised how uninformed people are about "content licensing."

The difference is... that's digital content.

However, since a game on XB1 is nothing but an install disc, installing a game tied to only one XBL account, once it is banned, all your physical copies are also useless... or so it seems right now.

Steam has physical discs you can purchase, and once they are put in the PC they are required to be linked to your Steam account.  If you are banned on Steam, you lose access to that game, even though you still have the disc and all the game data is stored on that disc.  So no, it's not different.

If you dont connect online, and have your disk; you can still play your game with steam (well without steam, since you are not online).
