Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Perma-Banning Xbox 360 Gamers For Playing Halo 4

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Lets say I was able to buy this game at a shop (like in poland and Resident Evil 6) Who the hell gives them the right to bann me? I mean did I somewhere sign a contract that sates "from the day I bought my 360 I will check every release date of every game out there?"

I mean there are screens of actual DVDs in the wild. SO lets say I have no idea when halo comes out and the guy that had those disks visits me and we were playing Halo4. NO i get banned?

They have no prove I downloaded the game or that I knew what was going on.

BTW: Can MS still or actually  block consoles from working? I remeber I read something about it long ago  is this actually true? Can they make my console be a brick?



Now, if only they would do the same to those fucking derankers, this would be a perfect world.



Honestly if one really wants to play Halo 4 before release the workflow should be as follows:

Step 1 - get modded xbox
Step 2 - create an offline account
Step 3 - download Halo 4

How dumb are these clowns?



Like always nothing happen... the ban is fake or at least not for all life because in some days a new custom firmware is out do unbans (is that word?) these guys.

The hacker community make sure you are safe.

You can play it online... in some days a new hack emergers to unban you.



what are they going to do now, buy a new 360?

I'm sure the developers feel bad that they ruined the ending too. how did it get leaked in the first place lol

That is not possible. Microsoft bans the console permanently from Xbox Live and no matter what you do you absolutley NEED a second Xbox to go online again.

This is supposed to be a "fix": http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/update-potential-fix-for-banned-xbox-360s/

But you still need a second Xbox for the CPU key...

You can get a 4GB 360 for $150...so if you get perma-banned it's not the end of the world. Get a new console, sign up for a new Gold account, and move on with your life.

Now, if you get perma-banned a second time you are just beyond retarded.


You're either 12 and don't understand that $150 is a lot of money or you don't understand that people who don't regularly pirate games have a lot of things tied to their gold account (which I assume people dumb enough to try and play multiplayer are those people).

If youre account gets banned, not only is that console and account banned, but you lose any MS points you bought, you lose your gold subscription, you lose every save game, you lose any games you downloaded, and you lose all DLC you've downloaded.

Right...so as I said: If you are really that tied to MS, go get a new console and re-subscribe to Gold.  Are you trying to say that people who get perma-banned for pirating software don't deserve it?  Because otherwise I do not sympathize with your point whatsoever.

I'm 25, by the way. I work for a living and am putting myself through school.  I would never be retarded enough to get myself banned from XBL.  Those people get what's coming to them.



 

Another hardware sales boost for Microsoft incoming^^ Bitches get slapped and come back for more.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
