That Time Xbox 360's Uno Game Was Flooded With (Penis) Pics
Uno was one of Xbox Live Arcade’s best games in the early years, a fact that’s been somewhat forgotten because all anyone can remember are endless penises.
Besides being an excellent online multiplayer game, lots of people owned Uno on Xbox 360 because it came bundled with the then-novel Xbox 360 Vision Camera accessory. Unfortunately, what Microsoft didn’t anticipate was how many dudes would immediately start using the camera to show off their junk.
[...]
Here’s what a video-enabled game of Uno looked like:
Now, try to imagine that with dicks, as illustrated by these terrifying anecdotes:
Shout outs to threads on Giant Bomb, GameFAQs, and NeoGAF for those stories [...]
In a Polygon feature looking at XBL during the Xbox 360 years, it was revealed that it was the job of some female employees to seek out and ban these people:
“One of the funny things that came out of it ... we’re meeting with the Xbox Live enforcement team, and [there was] a woman on the team who’s in her early 20s. She was explaining that she spends a good part of her week going into Uno games with the camera on and basically just waiting for dudes who will see a woman playing Uno with her camera on and expose themselves.
“I was like ... ‘Really? How often do you actually have dudes, you know, whip it out?’ And she said, ‘Eh, my time to penis is about 14 minutes on the average.’
I mean, she would sit on there and just ban these guys when she ran into them, but apparently it was a serious problem. Part of what makes it extra sad is that it’s Uno, which you think would be a family-friendly game for people to play.”
And it wasn’t just dicks, either! People found players cleaning crack pipes [...] Or an attempt at tricking someone into watching the infamous 2 Girls 1 Cup.
One of the more popular stories is that a mom apparently discovered her son was banned from Xbox Live for exposing themselves while playing Uno.
Uno was the god damn wild west of games, all thanks to a mediocre camera.
