A player accidentally gets a one-year ban for recording video clips of Baldur's Gate 3 on his Xbox, and he remains hopeful of winning the appeal.
An Xbox player was given a year-long ban for recording nude scenes in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Any clips you record on your Xbox are uploaded to Microsoft’s servers by default and may be automatically flagged as explicit content, as /u/Daddy-Vegas on Reddit found out when he automatically received a combined 390 day (4+21+365) suspension from Xbox Live for three clips he recorded.
His first appeal was apparently rejected, but subsequent appeals led to his ban being lifted after the gaming press picked up the story.
I guess if he disabled auto upload captures to Xbox live he wouldn’t have been banned. Microsoft wouldn’t dare ban players for captures they only keep locally.
Still this is a huge fuckup from Microsoft, I hope they reverse this.
