Why would you want to keep taking it backwards and forwards?

Are you serious? For someone with a large external they might want to store their pics/videos/music/documents in a way that they can plug into their PC as needed but also use in their Xbox.

Looking at the article, he kind of admitted to back engineering it, which is against the eula...

So he wasn't banned for the feedback but for breaching the end user agreement. So it's pretty much on him.
 Banning him though was probably the worst option for Microsoft. Now that issue is out in the open and they're in for bad press again. If they just thanked for the feedback it would've gone away.
Sometimes I think Microsoft doesn't know how the internet works.

No you can make reviews etc. you are just not supposed to be a dumb parasite which is not the case when you actually offer quality content (something of value) because you will be accepted as a partner. Even if you review Zelda and give it a 7/10 Nintendo wont kick you out.

But since Nintendo can obviously not know every single person that does reviews and can even less differentiate between stuff like gamexplain vs 12 year old idiot playing games  this program seperates the wheat from the chaff.  TBH The less useless shit is on youtube the better.

I want to see lets watchers etc.  stream 2h of a hollywood movie with using the bluray's menu etc (remote control input can be compared to controller input on a console) and nonsensical voice overs without geting in trouble. Hollywood will make their youtube accounts go the way of the dodo or sue them.

I am 100% pro youtube program and 100% against people getting money without doing much. I mean I can make a small logo and intro in photoshop/sony vegas within 5 minutes and then I can play my games but that doesnt make me entitled to any kind of profit.

If you do something that has value  like gamexplain / the bitblock etc. becoming a partner is easy. If everything you do is playing games without quality content well your problem. There is still some good lets players out there but 90% are redundant. Quality lets players and speed runners and reviewers will become partners easily so I see no problem at all.


But enough of that thats off-topic.

Still a dick move by MS.

Major Nelson to the rescue. 

well if he broke the rules then i understand why he was banned that said i see him being unbanned since it was to help them out. its probably just the service rep that read it and saw that he broke the rule and banned him

Are you?

You fail to understand that an Xbox One owner would have access to OneDrive.  Where images, documents, and videos can be stored.  Access to Xbox Music, where music can be uploaded.

You also assume one can't partition the drive into two partitions.  One compatible with the Xbox One and the other compatible with the PC.

You also assume that an Xbox One owner can't, already, use DNLA to stream content from their Macs/PC to the Xbox One.

Finally, he wasn't banned from Xbox Live.  He was removed from the Preview Program. 

So, again.  I ask, are you serious?  Or are you just unaware of what is and isn't possible already with the Xbox One?

He didn't say anything of the sorts. He just said if he wants to use the HDD as a pc drive again you have to do it a certain way. It's actually not really anything to do with the console itself. Just how you ruin an HDD if you want to use it with the xbone unless you are a more savy user.

This is nonsense.
