Microsoft lately blackball a whole lot of modded consoles . Was it to forestall plagiarism , or was it a conspiracy ? A new lawsuit is positing the latter hypothesis .
Here ’s what Texas - based practice of law firmAbingtonIPsays to vindicate their new suit :
Although alteration of Xbox console is arguably against the terms of use of goods and services for Xbox / Xbox Live , Microsoft ‘ handily ’ timed the Xbox console ban to coincide with the dismissal of the fresh Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 biz and less than two months after the release of the very pop Halo 3 : ODST game .
I ’m not trusted that modding console is “ arguably ” against the damage of use ; it is against the price of use . And why would n’t they want to keep people from pirating their biggest game of the class ?
sure , anyone who is banned who has n’t modded their console has a lawful bone to pick with Microsoft , and there ’s no defending their heavy - handed ban tactics and their validating price . But to suggest they ’re intentionally banning legit account to get hoi polloi to signalize up again , well , that ’s pretty stupid . [ TG DailyviaEngadget ]
