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?

If people want to play it early then let them. Do they deserve a console ban for playing online? Yes. Anyways I've been watching many videos of GTA5 on instagram. Just look at Gta5leak on instagram.

Idiotic of him to release his gamertag in the Video ouch, Personally I don't think it deserves a Console Ban the ban hammer is to heavy but I suppose it is to deter people from making videos early.

I say that he deserves that ban, and the guy is a complete idiot by showing his gamertag.

Skeletons Haha, find this funny because a lot of YouTubers that post the videos of it do get console banned.. Little bit over kill for playing a game 5 days before it's released.. But What can you do about it.
