That’s dumb as shit, why does Microsoft even allow mature games on their platform if their platform doesn’t allow mature content. Sure, record blood and guts, but dont show a nipple or a penis unless it’s exploding in a shower of gore!!!! What a fucking disgusting standard we have that gore and violence are celebrated but anything sexual, even simple nudity is some kind of felony offense.

Thank the Christians
No, I don't think I will.
Yeah they’re real hypocritical dick heads
As perplexing as the thought of “blood and gore good, nudity bad” is, legally I can see why Microsoft would take the heavy-handed approach.
If the dude in the article were to, say, share those scenes with somebody under 18 (which iirc is illegal since you’re distributing pornographic material to a minor), it’s probably not crazy of a stretch to say that Microsoft is legally liable for that happening on their platform. Easier to just do a carpet ban all-around to avoid it in the first place.
In which case the ban should have happened upon sharing not recording. I mean if it isn't clear that the records you make of singleplayer offline games are published online, then banning someone for what they record feels more like moral policing than anything else tbh.
console ownership looks like a worse option everyday. Fuck microsoft also
You don't really own a console. Just look what happened to Sony owners and the content they paid hard earned money for on their consoles. Microsoft and Nintendo are not outliers here. The PCMR "weirdness" the guy above was complaining about is also not walled off from this bullshit. Thanks to Microsoft.
However PCs have a solid chance with gaming becoming more and more embraced by the Linux community.

Lol, Microsoft absolutely did not need to spend time making this 'feature' and now they get a bunch of bad press for its existence
The great porn firewall is coming if the religious get their way. All these companies are getting ahead of it JIC.
I guess if he disabled auto upload captures to Xbox live he wouldn’t have been banned. Microsoft wouldn’t dare ban players for captures they only keep locally.
Still this is a huge fuckup from Microsoft, I hope they reverse this.
I got banned for using the looking for group tool to find help for a boss in elden ring last year. I think the post title was "astel, star friend".
Considering how offensive this was, in retrospect it's amazing that the ban only lasted a few hours (/s)
Although I didn't get a ban I did have a screenshot removed that I took in gtaV off of the rockstar website. I ran into a completely naked man in the hills with his junk hanging out and took a picture in game.
Huh. I wonder what will happen if you do the same on PC.
