It looks like Microsoft is cracking down hard for those found using emulators on the Xbox console lineup.

Ah, yes, the good old you-bought-a-full-fledged-computer-but-you-don't-actually-own-it switcheroo.

Sounds like a bad idea in general to play cracked/emulated games online in the first place..

It sounds oike people aren't getting banned for playing games, they're getting banned for using an emulator without paying Microsoft a vig.

A crack implies I didn't pay for the software. Emulating hardware merely assumes I didn't pay for the software.

Honestly, leave it on Reddit. That sub was just ASUS and Corsair in a trenchcoat. I can do without the commercials.

It was always surprising to me that they were allowing this and it seemed like a matter of time before they would come round to putting a stop to it. Ah well
