Microsoft Banning Consoles For GTA V Leaks
One of the videos contained his gamertag and Microsoft have quickly dealt a blow and have banned his entire console from Xbox Live, meaning he’ll have to buy a new one.
The Rockstar policy on posting copyrighted material from its games is very clear:
Pre-Release Footage: No pre-release leaked footage of any kind: Any posting of in-game footage from leaked copies of the game prior to its official release date will be taken down, regardless of how the game was obtained. This includes “early unboxing” videos.
Obviously we will not be linking to the videos since they could be considered to contain spoilers, but what do you think of the swift wielding of the ban hammer? Has justice been dealt or is it overkill from Rockstar and Microsoft?

Michael1321 I think that's a bit extreme
I agree. Kinda. But it did take them years to make this so they should be able to do whatever they want without people being mad at them.

People get games early all the time they shouldn't ban people for playing the game just ban the people stupid enough to leak the game.
fexPosted:
They are only banning people that connect to xbox live WHILE playing the game.. So what about the tonnes of smart people playing it offline?

Lyon Why can't people wait only 3 more days left /: and they could just play offline.
People can't wait, like me.
But I am going to buy the game instead of downloading it, I wanna support Rockstar for al the work they did on this game.
I'm happy to pay for GTA V.
MentalistPosted:
Dini This will pretty much just encourage others to go and download it now o,o
It won't, it will make people actually buy it on release instead of illegally downloading the game.

Dr-PonyfileRaciGmlukensDestroyed Console ban? That's just crazy a account ban would have been ok
They want to show that playing leaked games isnt ok...
I would ban them to if it was up to me
If it were me I would ban the ID not the console but if it was a legit copy I would ban them for releasing it early and being stupid and posting their
ID online.
That's what I should have a said if the copy was legit possible account ban. If it was illegal than a console ban would make sense

No, it's a good thing that they did it. They deserve it.
yeah they have gotten so many warnings they deserve it for leaking when they already have the game they could have just played offline /:
