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

Why would it be? It's going to happen anyway in ten years when Microsoft turns off all the authentication servers.

Meh, don't really have a problem. Don't cheat/be an dickbag online. Not hard.
They have always "admitted" to that. Every company has.
Your rights over that license is what has been disputed a few times in court, but that is why they are desperate to move away from discs.

Is this some kind of meme now?
Is it?
If it is, then perhaps MS should be controlling their "Support" as to avoid stuff like this.
All this does is to damage Microsoft's reputation, and make people angry and concerned, true or not.

You know, when all this shit started happening I was super angry.
Then it was funny.
Now I've laughed so much I'm fucking exhausted and this whole situation has gone well beyond pathetic. How in the fucking fuck could a company fuck something up THIS fucking much? How is it fucking possible?

It's not that one would say something or do something on live that gets them banned - it's the group of douches that rove live rep-banning those who have better K/D than they have!
Laugh....but it's not even a joke! Before I sold my 360 I'd get these kids in halo or cod mw2. They'd scream and rep me down for owing. Then I'd start seeing new complaints or messages from kids I'd never played with - presumably friends if the haterz.
Anyways, it happens - this will end badly on the titanic-xbone.

Define "freak out". If you are talking about talking shit and being racist online, then no you won't get banned for that. If you are talking about modding your console or something along those lines then yes your account will get banned.

They are joking right? This company man... They have fucking lost it. Someone needs to ban Xbone from being released on planet earth.

Hey Microsoft, remember that one guy who got wrongfully banned for buying a LEGAL copy of Halo 4 that just so happened to be released early? Of course you don't.
Because you just don't freaking care about your consumers anymore do you?

Did that guy ever get the account back? I remember him saying that the situation was long lost.
xboners will justify this by saying it's a good thing because nobody likes those 13 year olds in the 1st place

I wouldn't mind this if it only applied to people being racist/homophobic scum on Xbox Live, but it will more than likely only affect someone who happens to put a disc in their system a day before release.
lol are you that much of a troll that you would get banned?

On PSN you can play offline games if your system is banned. You cannot play anything that needs an internet connection. You cannot manage your account (such as PSN funds or going to your download list). I'm not sure if there's a difference between an account and a system ban. Here's a banned account/system info link for Playstation
So basically anything that you can play soley offline, you can still play. Anything that needs internet you can't.
So the difference here with Xbox One would be that you are going to be locked out of your physical copies of games/XBLA games since you have to connect to the internet every 24 hours. Unless they let you do that even if banned (I wouldn't bet on that happening from the sounds of it).

Cant say Im surprised thats how it works. With Xbone you dont own shit. Youre merely given permission. Permission is now revoked. Simples :-D

I've had a console banned by playing games early as a job perk.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Locking you from store access and online play, fine whatever. But locking you from game authentication, effectively revoking your ability to boot and play already purchased purely single player Xbox One titles, would be pretty fucking low.
No no, they don't ban you for being gay, they just ban you if your username has those 3 letters in the particular arrangement "gay." Yes it's stupid.

Here's a thought: Getting banned shouldn't mean all the games you invested in disappear into thin air.

Tell me why this console shouldn't fail, again? People getting banned should not get screwed out of their purchases.
At least it has a blu-ray player now :/
Doesn't justify theft by Microsoft

Nobody tell Jim Sterling about this, lest he get whipped up into an unstoppable, Hulk-like rage and starts to destroy Redmond with his bare hands.
I really worry that his rage is going to make his head explode, Scanners-style.

I imagine Microsoft either can't separate the authentication process from all the other online components, or hasn't bothered doing so at this point.
I thought that it couldn't even do that?
This this this! The unmitigated gall to even consider this fucking nonsense is mind-numbing.
Yup, I suggested this the other day. They seem to be going out of their way to make this console flop as hard as possible. I can't see any reason why they would want to do this though. What sort of benefit would they getdfrom the One being a complete disaster area..?
