Considering you won't be able to connect to Live, would you lose the ability to play all your purchased games?

RichardHutnik's thread made me think of this and I wonder if anyone asked this to MS yet.

I guess you will be watching a lot more TV

Very likely yes. People confuse the need to connect to license servers with an Xbox Live Account. Particularly a Gold account.

That would be some shit, lol.

I hope someone asks MS this question.

You only need to connect online to the Xbox. Silver members can still get online, download demos, buy games, etc. If they get banned from Live I'm sure they'll just be treated like a Silver member and can't play online multiplayer.  Though I'm sure they'd still be showing as Gold and would be able to use Netflix, Cross Game chat, etc.

I don't feel sympathetic to people that get banned. If someone gets banned that's all on them because they obviously did something to deserve it.

What if it is your account that they banned? When banned you cannot connect to your Live account.

People get banned just for obtaining an early copy (Store breaking street dates) of a title and going online.

Even so, if you are found to be cheating online, they should not be able to take all of your games away from you.

I seriously hope this is a question that gets asked.

They'll send you a message saying, "you've been boned".

So backward
