fyberglass Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 So i know xbox has issued its 100+ year ban for anyone caught playing or have played any game before its release date. To me that is insane! Never playing a game before the release date myself give me a valid opinion and a right to say, what the hell? http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o15/tashahottie/major.jpg Yeah i know, i know. your probably wondering whats the "big deal?" So what if xbox lets its staff play these unreleased games first. Maybe xbox should listen to its own advice for once. Game testers/ writers/ staff members maybe shouldnt have a following and show that they have special rights? when regular joe pre-ordering it and standing in line at 8am at walmart ON the release date can have a taste of the action. I know theres gonna be 100's of you that dont care if these people play it first but i hope 100's more do care that xbox should limit these special rights and considering being more of a team player in the online gaming universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrukk X360A Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You're right. Pshhh, why the hell should people who review games play them first? Actually, here's a better idea. People like that should wait a month! Yes, let's have them take forever to make a review. I mean who needs them, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew1986 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 That would suck 100 year ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosx721 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well Bungie did just sent out a ton of copies to people yesterday, and allowed them to play it online today. Can even get in some multiplayer. Most of these people are press, or work for M$. This is just the benefit in being what they are, if you're upset about it, oh well!

mortug Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 at least people like that shouldn't have the rights to unlock achievements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosx721 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 at least people like that shouldn't have the rights to unlock achievements! Reviewers can't unlock achievements on their own account. But if they get a game by the company 5 days before the release, I think they have every right to unlock any achievements they can.

Burnout x360a Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) I've played games before release date before, as long as it's a legitimate retail copy then you can play it online (not MP), earn achievements and do whatever the fuck you like in game. StepTo has addressed this many times in the past, they don't like street dates being broken but won't ban you for playing it because it's the retailers fault. EDIT: The pre release bans, like the perma/100 year ones, are only issued to those that pirate games early.

mortug Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 it was meant as a joke guys. that's why i put the "!" in i don't care if their staff plays it before release date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufty Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 It only because people who play games over a week before, got their copy from a torrent. Also, Microsoft don't ban accounts any more, they ban the Xbox 360. That way they'll profit, rather than risk making less money from subscriptions. Also, it's a bit longer than 100 years, it's 7989 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
