Daddy-Vegas, the unlucky Xbox gamer from Baldur's Gate 3a game produced by a Belgian studio that was recently named “Best Game of the Year” for 2023 He shares his unfortunate incident on Reddit He is not the only one in this situation.
He explains:
Last night I recorded 3 clips of naked fun at camp. By default, XBox uploads all your saved clips to the server for easy sharing. Each clip was counted as a different offense and my account was banned for a year. I hope the appeals process resolves this issue, but for now; I can't play any games that require a network connection (rendering all the money I've invested in MW3 over the past 6 months useless)
It turns out that Papa Vegas You violated our community guidelines Without knowing. By default, clips recorded on your Xbox console are automatically uploaded to Microsoft servers. However, the Xbox Community Code of Conduct Sexual content is expressly prohibitedeven if the snapshots are intended for personal use.
the Belgian development studio Larian Reaction to this “ban” on X:
It remains to be seen how long it will take Microsoft, which owns the Xbox, to resolve the issue.
In fact, even if it is understood that “adult” type content is not distributed to the general public, the game, whose goal is far from wanting to advocate nudity, is available on Xbox, and therefore in its entirety. Therefore, it is difficult to accept a ban on content available in an Xbox certified game.
Michael DossLarian's publishing director also reacted:
While waiting for a solution, players are warned of this risk and should therefore avoid posting racy content from their Xbox accounts.
