Microsoft Deals Harsher Damage To Cheaters
by Slade on May.18, 2009, under Gears of War News
During a recent podcast by Major Nelson, it is revealed that Microsoft has a bigger punishment for cheaters than just wiping their scores. Stephen Toulouse, Xbox Live Policy and Enforcement, stated that the cheaters will also be branded — for life.
When talking about the resetting of gamerscore’s, Stephen stated “I’m going to admit that the bar is a little bit higher than that, because we are a little bit conservative. The other thing it does is reset your gamerscore, but it also puts a tag that you’ve been caught cheating on your gamercard. That’s a pretty big Scarlet Letter.”
So the moral of the story? Don’t cheat unless you want a tag saying you’re a cheater for the rest of your gamer life.
