Microsoft Has Seemingly Banned an Xbox Baldur’s Gate 3 Player for Uploading an Explicit Game Scene

wccftech.com:

From the looks of it, Microsoft has banned an Xbox Baldur's Gate 3 player for one year for uploading an explicit scene within the game.

Not all is well with Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox - since the release of Larian's hit title on Microosft's platform last month, players have suffered progression loss due to crashes, and we now have a player reporting to have been banned for sharing an in-game clip. Some days ago, Reddit user 'Daddy-Vegas' shared to have been banned due to having recorded multiple clips within Baldur's Gate 3, which were, by default, uploading to Microsoft's servers. According to 'Daddy-Vegas', these clips contained "naked" content within Larian's title, which got him/her banned. Three 'explicit' clips were uploaded, each counting as a different infraction leading to a total ban of 366 days.

Here's what the Reddit user wrote in his post:

"I recorded 3 clips last night of some naked camp time fun", the user wrote on Reddit. "XBox, by default, uploads all recorded clips to the server for easy sharing. Each clip counted as a different infraction and got my account banned for a year. I'm hoping the appeals process fixes this, but as of now; I can't play any game that requires a network connection (Basically making all the money I put into MW3 over the last 6 months even more worthless)."

After doing his initial post on Reddit, 'Daddy-Vegas' received a reply from Microsoft regarding this, stating that the ban will remain in effect. "After reviewing your inquiry, we have found the enforcement to be warranted", Microsoft is said to have written.

Whether this is some kind of mistake or not remains to be seen, but it's clear that something is off here - Microsoft allows a game to be played on its platform, but doesn't
