i think he can still play offline, they cant ban his whole xbox, can they?
 
I'm not saying he should have been banned, don't get me wrong, I think it's totally messed up. I'm just saying with MS's track record for banning people for playing games before release, it shouldn't have been a surprise that he was.

I think it also depends on a game to game basis. I'm sure Take2/Rockstar powers were used here.

Call of Duty is a game that also gets released a bit early like how GTA V did and I follow it. Plenty of people playing online in them early but no one ever gets banned. In fact, Activision clarifies that when the leaks begin to happen.
 
How is it legal to force someone to take down an unboxing video of something they purchased? This is tyranny.
 
Wish he would go use Instagram.

You can just record with the regular camera app then upload the video to instagram, so he doesnt have to play one handed.

Think Instagram would of helped out to take them down. There was a guy trying to upload an entire Star Wars movie at one point that got shut down.

Yeah, that is the case. It bans your console/gamertag from connecting into LIVE. But you can still play online.

I'm sure some game purchases also get voided and any funds you had in the account plus LIVE Gold time are useless.
 
Why do people who leak videos play with an xbox connected to the xbox live ? There is no online-only mode on GTAV to what i know. That could avoid them to get into too much trouble and get console banned.

Yeah, rockstar is going to pressure the shit out of people to stop this stuff.

That said, even if his console is banned he can just keep playing the game, yeah? He's probably going to do even more now, lol.
 
He needs to record a proper video and put it up on torrent or put it up on mega.co

Just avoid the video takedowns all together.
 
Damn, console ban huh. Should've taken the console offline, power cycled and then kept it offline until after the 17th. They'd never be able to figure out when he actually played it then.

Doesn't Activision send copies to famous Youtubers before anyone else? I always assumed they did that to promote their game before release.
 
Rockstar calm your tits. Drives me crazy that this company hates letting people see real unbridled gameplay of their game before launch. Outside of carefully edited trailers none of us knows what the game is actually like before launch. It pisses me off.

I want to see the game >:(

There's an official gameplay video.

Because they want all their friends to see they're playing the game early and laugh at all the "how????" messages they get.
 
I wouldnt call him a dumbass.. He got his console banned for leaking a couple of 7 second videos. he should have leaked a complete mission or at least a 5 minute video. Only then will it be worth it. Its 2013 and you're using vine to share slideshows of the most anticipated game of 2013.
Good for him. Next time he'll learn to upload longer videos
 
He might have been okay if he wasn't showing the game off to us.

Yea, that's how I'm seeing it. He could have been playing and everything, and logged in for people to see him playing it, but what resulted in the ban was him showing the game off via Vine. If he wouldn't have shown his GT, he would have been set.
 
Would you still get banned if you disconnected your console from the internet before playing the game for the first time? Basically if you connect to the internet on release day and all your achievements/trophies will finally upload. Can they get you that way?

There could be a chance because once you connect it will send logs to the LIVE servers, not sure if things have changed but that's how it worked before.
