Well Microsoft is not evil Microsoft is not just good with their PR so it's easy for consumer to know the evil intention

So basically saying they are evil then?, because that's pretty much where that clever sentence ended.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

As I had suspected it does NOT completely disable the console.

“To be clear, if a console is suspended from Xbox Live for a violation of the Terms of Use, it can still be used offline,” a representative told us. “Microsoft enforcement action does not result in a console becoming unusable”

Well, it's good that they clarified this. Banning a user from XBL or even taking legal action against them for breaking an NDA is fine, but disabling an entire console would of highly dubious legality. Glad to hear they actually didn't do that.

Now let's see will OP update this thread.

Lock me if old.

Now, new wording is about to reach the community regarding this particular event. The nature of the leak having had occurred through Xbox One, actually also went against the Microsoft EULA, which is agreed upon when creating an Xbox LIVE account, or any other type of Microsoft account. This being said, as per that agreement with the testers in fault, Microsoft also permanently disabled their Xbox LIVE accounts (as well as other suspected accounts present on their Xbox One kits) and temporarily blocked all of their Xbox One privileges – meaning that for a period of time which Microsoft decides on depending on the severity of the offense, their Xbox One is entirely unusable.
