There is no reason to delete anything. The dude that got banned was doing other things that got him banned.
The CAG thread links back to here. lolGlad my laziness won out if bans really are being handed out. It's strange though, they haven't banned people in the past, maybe the sheer amount of glitched content forced their hand this time?
Has anyone checked CAG, etc to see if anyone there has been banned yet?

Well, however this may end. I just cancelled the final download. Whatever they track on your xbox, I just deleted them all and removed the Oman account.
I havent played any of the games on my original account or any other account. So, we'll see. My account is too precious to be sent into limbo.
And if all turns out fine and those that have been banned so far that has in no way to do with the oman games and MS plugged the hole, then fuck me, right?
As I said, whatever they track on the console, man. Maybe monday will shed some positive light on the matter. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on this thread.They can already see whether you've downloaded them my man, whether you've played or deleted them or not There's going to be a pre-GTA5 shit storm brewing if loads of people get banned just before that hits, haha.
I am ashamed to say that I did not know Oman was the name of a place prior to this thread.
Downloading content from other regions for free has been going on for years on XBL, and they'd be crazy for banning people for it now out of the blue.
This guy said that he shared his Season Pass with his brother somehow, and that matches the violation email. If no one else has gotten banned aside from him and his friend who might have done the same thing, we can chalk it up to that.
Damn. Hopefully it's isolated. I gave in last night and got the games. Too bad since the only one I like is WRC (as far as I can tell from the demo). Tried Dark and erased it it wa that bad.
Oh we'll, if I get banned at least it makes the next gen question really easy for me.
It seems like to me he got banned for sharing his Season Pass, not for taking advantage of a glitch

It's some really messed up timing, with me and a friend both getting banned (and I didn't share season passes with that friend). Along with my Oman account being banned alongside it.It seems like to me he got banned for sharing his Season Pass, not for taking advantage of a glitch
Good point, I never thought of that.I think the biggest thing is everything that was downloaded said "FREE" on the screen when it was downloaded.

Still, as far as I know there is zero recourse if Xbox bans you. Hopefully I'm just being pessimistic, I would rather keep my account.
As stupid as this sounds, and I admit it sounds really stupid to me, one reason I did it was because I told myself that now that Major Nelson is here he would surely warn his fellow gaffers of danger by coming in here or at least MS would block the glitch.Its a good way to get me to buy a ps4 and they don't want that at this moment. I'm on fence still.

What sucks most is, none of the free games (except Ikaruga) were all that good, so it will be lousy to get banned over downloading such mediocre games, lol.
I just wanted to try out the games. Now I'm going to buy a retail copy of Injustice since I enjoy it a lot.No doubt. I have to be honest that I likely won't play these games to completion and considered many to be "demos". It would be horrible to be punished for downloading Dark.
And I didn't do it to be malicious. I more just wanted to see if it would work. I wasn't even thinking that I might be breaking a hard rule.
I'm not. Where the hell is "Oman"?

What are people doing about this? Deleting the content and hoping they're not banned? If you've earnt achievements in any of these glitched games, that's caught red handed isn't it.
Calm down everybody. I'm doing nothing because I seriously doubt anyone would ever get banned for this. It's never happened before, why would it happen now? The guy who was banned did a lot of sketchy stuff.
Any word on the banning yet?!
Sounds good, many thanks!CAG seems pretty quiet and I can't find anything on other sites. I'd say it's a false alarm.
Seems that guy and his bud got banned for other stuff and the Oman account got caught in the fallout.
