Share all the murder clips you want, kids; just be sure to stay ashamed of your bodies and sexuality!
Yep.
They’re effectively imposing American religiously inspired sensitivies on the rest of the world. Reeks of cultural imperialism. Truly toxic stuff.
Imagine if Microsoft was a Saudi company that banned users who engaged with gay content or forced American users to comply with Muslim values. People would be in an uproar.
This really isn’t that different.
Another reason to buy games on GOG.
I asked Dall-E to make me a female Cambion with a low-cut shirt on and it said that request violates their community standards. I made the same request but without the low-cut part and it created it no problem. So even a low cut top is too scandalous for Microsoft. I asked it for a muscular female and it gave me a male. I asked multiple times and it produced a male every single time the “muscular” adjective was added. Pretty lame, Microsoft. I filed bug reports for both issues.
If you keep kids in the dark about sex, you get more accidental pregnancies, and meat for the capitalism machine!
Then they need to disable the feature during bannable scenes.
Or… Get rid of such a ridiculous policy!
Or swap opt-out for opt-in on their auto-upload crap. Can’t help but wonder how many users don’t even know they’re automagically uploading all of their content.
Yeah but that would not fly in a ton of more repressive countries, so the first solution is probably an order of magnitude more feasible.
Use Microsoft gaming services on a Microsoft console to upload footage from an unmodified game Microsoft sells: Banned
Even those whose consoles automatically uploaded explicit footage could be banned, it confirmed, though in those cases it could reverse the action.
This is Microsoft’s policy of taking all your fucking personal files without your consent to store them at their servers in action. It looks taken out straight from a 10 years old meme about dystopian cyberpunk companies having retarded policies that fuck over the consumer for no reason.
Isn’t modern gaming great? Can’t run your own servers, you’re stuck using some spoonfed services by an authoritarian corporation who also forces you to lease the use of your network connection even after you have paid for Internet access. The people who came up with these grifts are truly genius because plebs eat it up.
Fucking ludicrous.
You know what game you’re capturing. You know the content rating. Just don’t show captures from M rated games to people who have restricted access to M rated games. And give an easy opt out on any content from an M rated game to prevent more from showing.
Or, just don’t fucking share stuff without an opt-in.
To provide clarity on Baldur’s Gate 3 mature content enforcement actions, Xbox account suspensions are not automatic. Each clip is reviewed by a moderator and, if found in violation of our safety and content policies, actioned accordingly,” it wrote.
Lol the fact that clips are uploaded automatically by default is the problem, Microsoft… but it’s pretty funny that moderators get the ‘pleasure’ of watching these Baldur’s Gate 3 scenes uploaded by users.
Edit: From Microsoft’s website, uploading captures to Onedrive is “standard” (i.e. enabled by default, opt-out).
Microsoft in ten minutes: “Why did everyone stop using our integrated Xbox clip service?!?”

Let’s be real, it’s mostly the gay sex that they have a problem with
Playing single-player game alone at home on your own hardware.
Somehow banned from a network.
Okay.
Sounds like Microsoft operates as usual.
Years ago, I was playing minecraft with a friend of a friend, and we were going to play this one weekend. They never get online. The next time we’re talking, they explain they got banned for three days because they took a screenshot of a minecraft dick
I thought the headline meant like users who were auto uploading clips in bulk as some sort of spam grief attack. It seems like just normal usage? That’s not cool.
If you record the clip, the default is to share it because fuck you.
So also fuck you for sharing porn, you’re banned now.
Glad I don’t get this shit on Linux. Why does anyone buy an Xbox these days?
Because the Xbox is an affordable, entry level gaming console.
entry level gaming console
Lol, what would a high-end gaming console be?
The Xbox, duh.
The mid generation model.
PS5. I guess the Xbox X is pretty good and pretty pricey too. I was thinking of the Xbox S when I left that comment.
The difference between Valve and Microsoft is: in presence of this issue Valve says it’s their fault and they are gonna change the opt-in thing for +18 rated games. Microsoft says it’s your fault, fuck you…but said in the most condescending corporate way they can defecate out.
