Following on from yesterday's "Lesbian Ban" scandal on Xbox Live, Gamers test out Microsoft's terms of service to see if they are discriminating against homosexuals - but Microsoft are swift to drop the banhammer on Gamertags that use the term "Heterosexual" and "Straight" in their bios.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
It still isnt right if someone just writes that they are gay in their bio. Its about themselves. Instead of just scanning for words that are "not nice", have the person who bans read the dam content.
At least we know that Microsoft is trying to keep it clean on xbox live.
Furthermore I don't believe that sexual prefferences belong on a social gaming network. (Just use a dating website)
Finally deleting that stuff might protect some people from themself
So that's it then: Once Microsoft bans all of the straights and gays, it will only be fanboys left on Xbox Live.
Oh give it a damn rest.
I think if you're paying $49.99 a year you should be allowed to state your sexual preference in your profile.
At the end of the day though,it's their service and their terms,so if you don't like it,find another service.
