Halo 4 leak: Microsoft perma-banning early players

4.7
Microsoft is reportedly issuing permanent Xbox Live bans to users found to be playing Halo 4 ahead of its official launch.

"During your suspension, you will not be able to log into Xbox Live," reads the Microsoft messaging sent to some members of the Reddit community. "Your Xbox Live privileges will not be reinstated."
Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor said over the weekend that he was unsurprised by the recent Halo 4 leak, which has seen copies of the game sneak into the wild almost a month ahead of the Halo 4 release date of November 6.

Microsoft said last week that it's "working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation".

Qwikscoper All the people who get banned completely deserve it because they downloaded the game illegally and were stupid enough to go online with the leaked pirated game.


I agree, I don't know why they were stupid enough to go online with it.

Serves them right. They downloaded an illegal iso off the internet to a game they don't already own. Played on a modified xbox online. They were just asking to be banned.

Mortar Well this was suspected, although as it was a Microsoft game, I am surprised that they're not issuing console bans as well.
