Cheating and Getting Caught...

[DozertheDozaria]

Kotaku ran an interesting piece this morning on cheating and XBL. A few months back Major Nelson said that there were going to be consequences if they caught and proved you were cheating and now we have found out what those consequences are. Here's a linky (http://kotaku.com/371745/hammer-comes-down-on-xbox-live-cheaters) to the story on Kotaku and the original article on Major Nelson's Blog (http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/03/25/gamerscore-correction.aspx).

Personally, I think this is great. I can't undertand why you would want to cheat to get Gamerscore anyway. But then again, maybe it's because it's just not that important to me. I'm here to play games and have fun; not to compete for a number on a profile.

So what do you guys think? Is this fair? Is it right that MS is doing this? Will it actually help anything?

lol i really don’t think people will give two damns... about it, it doesn’t affect the way they play except they wont see there points.. and in all reality all you have to do is recreate a new account so... there you go .. i think some people will stop probably like 10% of the people who cheat will stop.. but.. in the majority they wont care... xbox lives punishments to things, are always very lenient ... they need to get strict. but that wont happen cause they want to sell xbox live memberships so they don’t want to be known as harsh *******s... then no one would join sad but i think its true..
