Xbox confirms it's banning Baldur's Gate 3 players for auto-uploading spicy clips

[5n0man]

Brother I’m not arguing with you, this thread was made on some Stan shyt now I’m here to be devil’s advocate

I don't deny that, which is why this was my response to Sony stans

Sony has been much stricter than both Nintendo and Microsoft when it comes to nudity in games, so they really aren't much better.

I'm just giving my criticism because I feel like it's warranted in this case.

It's ridiculous that you can get banned for simply pressing the share button in a game approved by microsoft.

I believe they rely on Amazon.

I'm saying don't you have to post shyt to Twitter to share?

Nah you 100 percent correct and thank you for having this dialogue without the usual nonsense we see in the arcadium. That’s literally all I be wanting

Apparently no, just the automatic process of uploading to microsoft’s servers can result in a ban.

Yeah the thread is some stan shyt considering that there wasn't any threads criticizing sony for flat out censoring games for years. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a stupid policy from microsoft and needs to be adjusted.

To change the ”policy” would be to stop the share button from functioning the way people expect it to for everyone just to prevent a few mistakes.

Other games have nudity and we never heard of a problem with them. These are people who uploaded bear sex on purpose then wanted to pretend they don’t understand how the “share” button works.

For the few that truly made a mistake microsoft has been responsive in reinstating them explaining to them what happened and how to prevent it in the future. It’s not like it’s permanent bans or people losing their account or anything. Worst case is people learned their lesson and use the service the way they agreed to use it.

You post nudity to pretty much any social media platform you will be banned. You literally sign up for the terms when u make you account

Those platforms let you buy products with nudity and auto upload the nudity to your account and auto post them?

Xbox doesn’t “auto upload” anything. You chose to upload the media by hitting the “share” button

I’m just going by the article I don’t have an Xbox.. unless I’m misreading shyt

There is a button on the controller named “share” you hit that button as a one button quick way to upload media to your Xbox account.

The “automatic“ part is people pretending they didn’t know that the ”share” button actually shares the content

All they have to do is update the system so captures aren't automatically uploaded to the cloud by default. It should be a setting you have to personally turn on, and should come with warnings about the potential of getting your account banned for saving certain types of content.


Getting banned for having explicit content saved to a private cloud server is something I've never heard of from any of the main cloud service providers, especially when it's content approved by the provider. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people banned didn't even know they were doing something that could result in a ban.

It would be like your apple ID getting banned because you filmed a freak video with your girl and it automatically uploaded to your private icloud account.

The button has been functioning this way for almost a decade. It’s the entire reason the controller has a dedicated button to share content. You don’t have to go to a menu or take any extra steps. You hit “share” and your content is shared.

To change that default to “off” would change the way people have grown accustomed to using the function and cause millions of people to have to go in and change something to fix a “problem” that very few will experience.

Maybe a disclaimer at the beginning of Mature rated games would suffice, but changing the entire function of the button seems to be a bit too much for such a small problem.

I’m not sure where u got this from but this isn’t happening on Xbox

No, it wouldn’t. This is not how it works.

This would be like going live with your freak video as a live story then saying “oh I didn’t know it would be uploaded”
