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".

It's really sad how ridiculous things get over a game just because you play it early. :/

gRifo Like my teacher once said, If you bought it you can do to it what ever you want.


That's correct, but remember, this is Micro$oft (spelled with a $ to empathize their greed) They are the ones who want YOU to think you have only purchased a 'license' to any content on their network or anyone else's for that matter. Brain numbingly retarded I know but that's MS for you. Screw them.
