Share all the murder clips you want, kids; just be sure to stay ashamed of your bodies and sexuality!

Yep.

They're effectively imposing American religiously inspired sensitivies on the rest of the world. Reeks of cultural imperialism. Truly toxic stuff.

Imagine if Microsoft was a Saudi company that banned users who engaged with gay content or forced American users to comply with Muslim values. People would be in an uproar.

This really isn't that different.

Another reason to buy games on GOG.

I asked Dall-E to make me a female Cambion with a low-cut shirt on and it said that request violates their community standards. I made the same request but without the low-cut part and it created it no problem. So even a low cut top is too scandalous for Microsoft. I asked it for a muscular female and it gave me a male. I asked multiple times and it produced a male every single time the "muscular" adjective was added. Pretty lame, Microsoft. I filed bug reports for both issues.

If you keep kids in the dark about sex, you get more accidental pregnancies, and meat for the capitalism machine!

Then they need to disable the feature during bannable scenes.

Or... Get rid of such a ridiculous policy!

Or swap opt-out for opt-in on their auto-upload crap. Can't help but wonder how many users don't even know they're automagically uploading all of their content.

Use Microsoft gaming services on a Microsoft console to upload footage from an unmodified game Microsoft sells: Banned

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 38 points 2 years ago

Fucking ludicrous.

You know what game you're capturing. You know the content rating. Just don't show captures from M rated games to people who have restricted access to M rated games. And give an easy opt out on any content from an M rated game to prevent more from showing.

Or, just don't fucking share stuff without an opt-in.

To provide clarity on Baldur’s Gate 3 mature content enforcement actions, Xbox account suspensions are not automatic. Each clip is reviewed by a moderator and, if found in violation of our safety and content policies, actioned accordingly,” it wrote.

Lol the fact that clips are uploaded automatically by default is the problem, Microsoft... but it's pretty funny that moderators get the 'pleasure' of watching these Baldur's Gate 3 scenes uploaded by users.

Edit: From Microsoft's website, uploading captures to Onedrive is "standard" (i.e. enabled by default, opt-out).

Microsoft in ten minutes: "Why did everyone stop using our integrated Xbox clip service?!?"

@alessandro

Greenlight M-Rated game with sex scenes

Ban players who engage with said content

Sounds like Microsoft operates as usual.

Years ago, I was playing minecraft with a friend of a friend, and we were going to play this one weekend. They never get online. The next time we're talking, they explain they got banned for three days because they took a screenshot of a minecraft dick

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought the headline meant like users who were auto uploading clips in bulk as some sort of spam grief attack. It seems like just normal usage? That's not cool.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

If you record the clip, the default is to share it because fuck you.

So also fuck you for sharing porn, you're banned now.

The difference between Valve and Microsoft is: in presence of this issue Valve says it's their fault and they are gonna change the opt-in thing for +18 rated games. Microsoft says it's your fault, fuck you...but said in the most condescending corporate way they can defecate out.
