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.

    Honestly, Nazis and shitty people use those crevasses to hide their plots and they don’t deserve nice things or safe spaces.

      I agree, but I also don’t think the solution is surveillance either. It shouldn’t be our go-to solution to to read everyone’s messages because some people are douchecanoes.

        I agree with you, but that is the solution that people in power have put in place. Even the government unconstitutionally monitors everything. This is the world we live in now.

      Are you also one of the people who would ban all pornography because a teen might watch it somewhere, somehow?

      More surveillance and control is not the answer. In fact, it’s never the answer, unless the question is “what is an overbearing infringement on civil liberty?”

      And you believe the tools of oppression will never be turned on the Left?

      Even though it’s regularly turned on the left way more often than Nazis?

      As much as it sucks, eliminating safe spaces for Nazis results in eliminating safe spaces for everyone.

      Corporations don’t pretend to care about minorities because they think they have inherent value to their lives, they pretend to care about them, because they figured out that not catering to minorities is leaving money on the table. Corporations don’t like not completely owning an entire market.

      The same reason they started giving a shit about women, racial minorities, and LGBTQA+ people is the reason they still market to Nazis.

      They don’t care what your politics are, they don’t care if you’re Red or Blue. The only thing they care about is the Green money in your pocket.

      They won’t root out Nazis because they won’t purposefully choose to not take Nazi money.
