Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. 

wow

is this a joke because i’m not laughing at all

I thought to myself when I saw this, “no. This has to be some one being silly. This has to be something some one fabricated to make microsoft look worse and people just aren’t checking the source.”

NOPE. IT’S REAL.

AND IT GOT WORSE:

WHAT.

remember when the basic fucking concept of a commodity was that buying something meant it was yours 

I want everyone to think long and hard on this information.

This means that you are not buying your games.  You are paying 60+ dollars to rent the games from Microsoft, and they can take their game back whenever they feel like it.

You will not own your game.  You will not own your console.  Essentially, Microsoft is saying “We can disable your games and cut you off from accessing your console whenever we choose to.”  Because a ban that locks your XBox Live account means that you will be locked out from all non-game functionality of the system, and by revoking your ‘licenses’ on all your games associated with your account, they can then disable each and every game you own for the system.  Leaving you with a five hundred dollar cable receiver.  Or, in the case of most users of the console, a five hundred dollar paperweight.

All because you accidentally walked into some online glitch and the rest of the players rage-report you for cheating.

This is unacceptable.  Buy any console but an XBox One.  Do not support Microsoft’s sudden belief that they own everything despite our purchase of it, and we have to prove we’re worthy of being shared with by paying exorbitant fees and jumping through constant hoops and hoping someone doesn’t report us for cheating because we made them mad in an online game.

Tell Microsoft ‘No,’ and do not give them your hard-earned money for what amounts to a video game subscription service with a $500 starting fee and $60+ dollar purchases.

There are way too many people that get banned unfairly. This is bullshit. I let my nephew play on my live account once when he was little, and I got a lot of people reporting me just because he was playing like a five year old. So. Cool.

A video game console should be something you can play anywhere you can get a screen to view it on and a power supply. Period.

Internet requirements should only be necessary for online multiplayer games, never for ANYTHING else.

>ok… This is a pretty riveting subject for me. Let me look into it. …Ooh, this guys brings up a valid question. Support’s answer sounds pretty valid too, right?

> But that leaves me wondering… I just HAVE to ask…

> Their answer…?

>Wai—wh—…what.
…So I have to… either make an alternate account… or use someone else’s… JUST to make an appeal?? Couldn’t we just, like, send appeals via e-mail to the moderators? 
Well… that’s a strange system to me, but I’ll just have to see how well it goes. So let’s go through this thing.

> Looks pretty organized, I guess. Now let’s read through some of these appeals as thoroughly as I can…


> …

> wh—…

> WHAT.

>Ok so I went through 17 pages reading pretty much all of the appeals top to bottom. Seventeen pages. That’s 255 appeal posts.
Some of the appeals were pretty strong cases, but NOT A SINGLE ONE was solved, whether through recovering/unbanning accounts or ms point refunds.
@XboxSupport1 told @Tobias otherwise.

So that leaves me wondering ONE more thing…

> So what do they say….?

> …

Well that was quite the non-answer.

So there you have it. I was doubting what thatpointlessidiot was saying, but now after doing some serious research I can say for a fact that this is real. 

And let’s just leave it at that. I’m just going to play the Live games I have to date, hope to GOD I don’t get randomly banned, and wait a year for my gold account to roll over and die by the end of this year.

Not that I was planning on doing that from the start. There’s really no use sticking around with xbox if I’m gonna have to log in every single goddamn day just so I can play a game.

I have nothing else really to say on the matter, except that Xbox One is not going to be found in or anywhere near my household.

Oh and just one more thing.
