On Xbone, getting banned from XBL maybe revokes(?) access to your games

It is the same on Xbox 360, the only difference is that on Xbox 360 the disc games are not locked to your account. You only lose your digital purchases.
The greater point is why do I need a licensing agreement for a single player game that I purchased? Microsoft of course will tell me that I am not entitled to the game I purchased and rather what I had actually done was purchased a license and I am essentially renting the game.
Good luck selling the Xbone Microsoft. In the end, this won't affect anyone.
Apparently they only burnt people who accused others if witchcraft, since that meant the accusers believed in sorcery! But IIRC the old drowning test meant that if they floated they were a witch, yet if they sunk then their soul was lighter than the stone they were weighed down with (hence innocent).
You're right, it doesn't fit. But there sure is a line of thought amongst some people that seems to suggest the Almighty Corporate Moderators can do no wrong. And that is truly baffling.

With the amount of accidental and early release bans people have had to put up with on the 360, this is really going down the stupid route.

That's funny cause my account was perma "suspended" until 12/31/9999 for reasons unknown to me. Microsoft just tells me to deal with it and they aren't telling me why. My account was silver for 2 weeks prior and the day I add a 1 month to my account, I was TKO'd sometime later that night when I signed in.
Now if I would have lost all my games...I would have smashed the $500 entertainment tv box. This is just unacceptable and knowingly people will still buy this crap system is just frightening.

There are two kind of bans with Steam, one is you are banned from vac secure servers if you are caught playing with cheats. The other is your entire account is diasabled if you charge back or something.

They'll probably charge you $5 or something to un-ban your account.
Yes, and yes.
Get your account unbanned with specially labelled bottles of Mountain ?
It's especially baffling due to the existence of alternatives.
There is a console hitting market at roughly the same time and for less money that doesn't do any of this shit.
I mean, how badly do people have to play Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3 to knowingly sign up for a console like this in good faith?
Pretty sure this was addressed when details around the new reputation system was discussed. People can be reported for all kinds of crazy shit, yet the system looks not only at the person being reported, but also the reportee. They system apparently knows when you've been bad or good, and then Banners swing the ban hammer accordingly. i pretty sure you have to be a real bad boy to get completely banned from live.

But if the other console doesn't do the one thing I need it to, play the games I want, then there is no reason to purchase it either.
I want Killer Instinct and Titanfall. One of the consoles has those games and the other doesn't.
Not that I don't believe this to be true, but Xbox Support is currently trained to assist with Xbox 360 questions, not Xbox One questions. Stepto (head of Xbox Live enforcement) himself said this on Giant Bomb a couple nights back.
EDIT: And there you go (top of page). They probably don't know any more than we do about Xbox One policies.

In all my years of gaming I've never yearned for a console to crash and burn. I've always thought competition was healthy and spurred innovation.
XBone changed all that and I sincerely hope that people are smart enough to avoid the console.

Every time I wake up I read another negative story about this system. It's amazing how bad MS has fucked up here.
You know I dont get how they do it?? REALY how does Microsoft STILL come up with thinks to shoot them self s in the foot? HOW?? I ACTIVELY try to think of stuff that Microsoft can do to get even more bad PR and I can't think of anything new! But every single day throughout this whole WEEK they just surprise me again and again HELL they make even look easy! Holy shit Microsoft is sooo good :-O Unbelievable. With what will they come up next? for ever xbox one sold they drown a puppy? God I cant wait what they reveal next!

What's happening guys? Am I living in an alternate reality where everything is one big joke? I'm actually thinking that I'm not real and that the xbox one isn't real.
Am I dreaming?
Guys?

Guys?
Thats the biggest problem I have with this system, if this somehow works out for Microsoft, be sure its going to be worse in the next console.

Well that's stupid. Being a dick on Live doesn't really cancel out the money you spent on your games.

I'm not the guy you know but it also happened to me. And it wasn't for doing anything illegal. It was for using my initials in my account info. POOF - account gone with zero recourse.
I'll never trust them again.

Well good that MS have looked into that issue then, but NO you do not have to be a real bad boy to get banned, maybe ofc perma banned (if that's what you meant), sadly this is not the case in all multriplayer and/or MMO's where you still can force others to be banned buy overusing the petition systems.
However I see no problem in playing a game days before release date if I got a hold of it legally or downloading stuff from the digital shop that is free even if its a mistake from MS, and yet people are getting banned for this in different ways.

I like the idea of putting more 'meat' on a ban, but this is *way* too far.
Would it not be simpler to disallow that account from playing them *online*? Serves the purposes of a ban, less trivial to circumvent (than the current system (You'd need to use the transfer rights to get it onto a different account, I guess), and it's much more explicitly then a denial of a service.

I don't want to get banned because I was able to legitimately purchase and play a game before launch date (Halo 4). There are TOO many restrictions with console...
trying to play a game before street date is one way on 360.

Please tell me that XBox Support twitter account is similar to the fake Kaz account.
It's legit afaik
I don't know, but the same twitter account the OP refers to has stated there was a mistake and the policy they mentioned referred to the 360 and not the One:

At this point it almost seems like the 'Bone is a Producers type of scheme by MS to produce a console that's guaranteed to flop. Somebody needs to check the books and see if they haven't sold 50000% ownership of the system to those old ladies that Don Mattrick has been hanging around with.

wow, ridiculous.
Let me ignore that so I can continue FUD spreading activities.
Jesus Christ. Ok, I'm bailing out of this thread. I can't believe that MS can convince people to swallow this anti-consumer bullshit. We shouldn't have to debate this shit.
