Cheaters Don't Win On Xbox Live: Gamescores Reset to Zero

Written by Rivithed

Tuesday, 25 March 2008

If you've been caught cheating by Microsoft, prepare to be exposed. Maybe a bit overdue, but Microsoft is taking action against gamers who pump up their gamerscore and achievements by "means outside the actual playing of the game or by using external tools to increase their score."

MajorNelson describes the penalties:
- Resetting the entire Gamerscore for an account to zero.
- The account will be unable to regain all previously obtained achievements and Gamerscore, however, the players will have the ability to gain future Achievements by earning them fairly, like the majority of the Xbox LIVE community does.
- The account will be clearly labeled as a cheater for the community to view on xbox.com (see below for a screenshot). In dash, the personal view of the gamercard will be labeled too.

An example of a cheater, gamertag StripClubDj.

See more details of the "Gamerscore Corrections" here on Xbox.com.

""Wow, That's not at all fascist. Perhaps M$ should try a bit harder and make games that are well designed and unexploitable, rather than punish paying customers for pushing rules..

As if anyone would actually give their money to M$ though.. ""

got to love idiots who know nothing about game setup. There is no such thing as a game that is not exploitable. Name one non-simple game without an exploit to justify your statement tool
