"Apparently, it's not just swearing during a skype call that results in a ban. Swearing during a video you record and upload can also result in a ban. It apparently gives you a 24 hour ban." [1]
It's not as if the Xbox One had a bad reputation already...
Why is MS on such a PR train wreck? Honest question, from my perspective they've been shooting themselves in the foot several times already (remember the 24hr connection/buy a 360 debacle?)

- salient 13y agoThe PR train wreck is but a symptom of Microsoft's own culture of control and bullying. Fix that first, and there should be a lot fewer "PR scandals" related to Microsoft. But I'm not seeing Microsoft fixing any of that anytime soon. In fact, they've been doubling down on it lately. I'm also surprised the Windows 8.1 integration with Bing that analyzes your local files hasn't erupted into another PR scandal that is at least as big as the one Canonical went through - this being actually worse, since Canonical doesn't analyze your local files to show you ads as far as I know, and more like LG's scanning of USB keys in their own latest spying scandal.
- DangerousPie 13y agoBecause people love complaining about Microsoft. So even when there is absolutely no evidence that this is actually true and the claim is quickly denied by MS [1], people still believe rumors like these and vote them up.
