Microsoft said it will block software developer ThriXXX from releasing its newly revealed Kinect sex game on the Xbox 360 console.
A video surfaced on YouTube earlier this week showing a demo of the game, which allows players to use hand gestures, voice commands, and objects to simulate sexual acts. ThriXXX, open since 2001, traditionally creates "3D animated interactive sex games" for PC.
"The open-sourcing of device drivers for Kinect have enabled the device to be used directly from connected PCs operating on Windows 7," the developer told CNET. "The Kinect interface provides another exciting interface option for users of the sex-simulation software to control the experience in extraordinary new ways."
Microsoft responded saying the game would never pass the certification process.
"This isn't the first example of a technology being used in ways not intended by its manufacturer, and it won't be the last," a spokesperson said in a statement. "Microsoft did not authorize or license its technology for this use."
"Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only (AO) content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect."
