Xbox User Banned for a Year Over Explicit Baldur's Gate 3 Clips

Community outcry as player is penalized for using platform's features to share game content

  • An Xbox user has been banned for a year for uploading explicit gameplay clips from Baldur's Gate 3, a game known for its mature content.
  • The user, known as Daddy-Vegas, recorded three clips of 'naked camp time fun', each of which was automatically uploaded to Microsoft's servers and counted as a separate infraction.
  • The ban prevents the user from playing any game that requires a network connection, essentially rendering their Xbox useless for online gaming.
  • Many in the gaming community have expressed disbelief and frustration, arguing that the ban is unfair given that the content was part of a game sold by Xbox and recorded using a feature provided by the platform.
  • The incident has sparked a discussion about Xbox's content policies and the automatic upload of gameplay clips, with some users advising others to turn off the default settings to avoid similar bans.
