Remeber when Microsoft banned some Xbox players for screenshots they took in singleplayer, local games? Because it turns out all screenshots were uploaded to the cloud without properly informing users?
Naaah... no way they're going to do that again.
I don't (never played Xbox til the end of its lifecycle) what did they do? 👀
That’s not even the best part. The best part is that some games will take screenshots automatically, by default. Some of the photos were then also uploaded automatically to Xbox cloud. Their automated system then banned players for sharing “prohibited” content.
Recently this happened with Baldur’s Gate 3.
