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

Haha seriously. Are we sure this twitter account is legit? The answers are so surreal.
I think he got it unbanned eventually. But it took quite some time, i think.
How do you get banned on Xbox Live (besides modded consoles and stealing)?
Playing a game before its official street date is also a ban.

There are no disc based games.
lol, MS needs to tell Xbox Support to zip it until they get their story straight.
If this is true then there are going to be some really angry people. I'm not sure how they'll get away with this. However, if it means I won't have to listen to highly inappropriate jabs from 12 year olds, see scam artist messages, and deal with cheaters who mod their console then so be it.

That it's repeating at all shows how far they have their heads up their ass.
Never thought about this, but you are probably right. Damn.
I'm sorry, what are those? You seem to be under the mistaken impression that those are any way different than a digital download. According to Microsoft, they are not. There won't be any distinction, you still need to have the game fully installed and check in with their servers. Your games are tied to your account and you can't untie them. This is kind of what the whole problem is about in the first place.

What were the reasons for the people who were wrongfully banned? Street dates won't be an issue anymore with the authentication requirement.

No. You can still play your games. You just can't buy more or go online until it's resolved.

I honestly disagree with this. I really, really doubt it's "wrongfully" ban. Every single time I look at the suspension forum on Xbox.com, it's obvious what the user did to get ban. There are MANY stupid things that can get you banned, like having a swear word in your Xbox Live profile WILL get you banned if reported for a few days, that's probably where most bans come from.
All those small tiny things are in the ToU and CoC, and will get you banned. This is why I already decided (I think I said this last night haha), before I buy my Xbox One, I am 100% reading Microsoft's Terms of Use and Code of Conduct, because I knew this was going to happen. I knew Microsoft was going to be evil enough to take everything away if someone gets banned.
I know for sure though, I'm never getting my account permanently banned, like I said, those are only for people who Mod their system, Mod games, and Mod their account. Those people aren't "banned innocently", no one is. Everyone who gets banned broke something in the Terms Of Use or Code Of Conduct. Maybe they didn't KNOW what they did was bannable, I'm sure that's the case for many. I know many of my friends who modded to 10th prestige in Modern Warfare 2 and didn't know it was bannable. I had friends who used the javelin glitch (really dumb, fun easy glitch in MW2) and got their accounts banned for a few days for it. I always see people banned for swear words, and none of them knew it was banable.
This is the dumbest one. I remember a GAF user getting banned for playing Halo 4 early. I do think though, if you DO provide a receipt and show that the game is legal, you're fine. Don't know if that's true, but I doubt it is. No way Microsoft will bother checking a receipt from a user.
Yeah, this has been XBL policy since like 2005.
Also it's the same for Steam in that you can't buy anymore games on that account but you can access the games you've already bought. Just can't play them online or buy new ones really, IIRC.

Again, I don't think this is true at all. As long as you have a legit copy I'm pretty sure you're okay. There were thousands of people that got Modern Warfare 2 early and they played online just fine, if I recall correctly.
your disc based games turn into coasters after you install them.

I remember me and a couple Halo 3 online buddies sent Major Nelson some goofy and not nice messages. Nothing happened to me, one of my friends got banned for a week from live.

I have no words for this......
Here's a thought: maybe Microsoft shouldn't be so cartoonishly diabolical in attempting to steal the rights of consumers to own products they legally paid for.

Next thing we're going to find out is that you get auto-banned for every "family" member you have.

A lot of people played Modern Warfare 3 early and didn't get banned as well. I think it just depends on if you're willing to prove you "legally" bought it from the store, either way, you should be banned for being lucky and playing a game early. Dumbest rule on Xbox Live.

getting banned from multi players is one thing,
but banning an account where all your disk based games are tied to due to account-install-drm = LOL
I have raised this issue many times in terms of vintage gaming but somebody laughed at me for playing vintage consoles
bue eh, my Genesis still works

Ah alright, so you can still log in PSN and redownload the games if you're still banned?
Nope, you're fucked.

So you can't freak out one night on accident. Say you're drunk or what not. Its like a year after launch. You have quite a bit of games to your account. Then suddenly...they're all gone. That $^&*# sucks!

AMAZING. And after all the stupid bans that happened on X360 for minor offenses. Like the people who played halo 4 early. Give me a fucking break.
