A couple of days ago, an Xbox Live user with the gamertag "RichardGaywood" got banned. Problem is, it turned out that Richard Gaywood is the user's real, legal, given name. So what is Microsoft going to do about it? Hit the full article for the company's response.
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
"While it may be clear to some that Gaywood is a legitimate surname, it may not be obvious to other Xbox LIVE members. In this case, a complaint was filed by a member of the community, requiring the Xbox LIVE team to examine the gamertag within the context of the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use. Based on these guidelines, it was necessary for the gamertag to change."
Talk about taking gay bashing to the extreme really makes m$ look sad. Not to mention live users in general I mean really whos so homophobic that theyd have to report it sigh...
I actually knew a person in school who's last name is "Woodcock"
I'm really not joking..
You wonder how these families came to get these last names lol.
Bad news for Mr. Heywood Jahblome.
i think these people are doing it for the sake of attention now...
First, Richard is abbreviated as a four letter word. This name seems fake. Second, it's no surprise that people would make fun of it, real or not. When he used his supposed "real name" as a gamertag, he knew it would cause trouble.
