An Xbox player was given a year-long ban for recording nude scenes in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Any clips you record on your Xbox are uploaded to Microsoft’s servers by default and may be automatically flagged as explicit content, as /u/Daddy-Vegas on Reddit found out when he automatically received a combined 390 day (4+21+365) suspension from Xbox Live for three clips he recorded.

His first appeal was apparently rejected, but subsequent appeals led to his ban being lifted after the gaming press picked up the story.

    I think it’s because violence is commonplace in everyday life, a part of human nature, from wars to gin violence but icky weird sex stuff is not.

      Wouldn’t it be the opposite? I’d think most people are more likely to have had sex than having killed a person. Maybe it’s because they think sexual content might actually lead kids to want to have sex.

      Nevermind that these games are not rated for children to begin with, so who is buying it for them?

      There are WAY MORE people having consenting sex in the privacy of their own homes versus people going on murder rampages.

      It is depressing we now live in a world where we are not allowed to drink our gin in peace.
