Microsoft pisses off cheaters

[Roto13]

This is actually pretty cool. xD

Ha, I like Microsoft far more now.

[Madame Adequate]

That's fairly fantastic.

[edczxcvbnm]

This is pretty dumb and a waste of time.

[Aerith's Knight]

Awsome company.. I like how their admins think.

[Roto13]

Now they just need to go after the racists 12-year-olds.

[Ouch!]

I approve.

So what you mean to say is Microsoft needs to wage war against the whole of the internet? Can do!

This is a fine development. How exactly did they target these cheaters? I mean to say, what was their schematic for singling people out? I have some sure inkling that there will soon be a flurry of people saying "zomg mai legit gs gets wiped halp plz."

[Nominus Experse]

This gave me a hearty lawl

[Markus. D]

omifigah.

Hackers, I believe. Like that guy who got 100,000 points in the first ten months after the Xbox 360 was released. His account was banned ages ago, though.

Actually, I'd be very surprised if there WEREN'T quite a few people whose genuinely legitimate gamer scores were wiped undeservingly. Kind of like the legal system, though, sometimes innocent people get blamed for things they don't do. :P

I read further on after following some links that it had something to do with illegitimate saves. I'm sure there's a way to unlock achievements multiple times. I was worried that it had something to do with "omg urs iz 2 high BAN'TSTICK'D" over a period of time. If it's got a set system that it's going after, I don't foresee as many problems as I might imagine (my experiences stem from Ruststorm and Warden on Diablo II).

There pretty late on this one but at least the appropriate action has taken place. Microsoft still suck though.....

[Raebus]

Yes, of course they suck.
