kupocakes: fawriel: vexatiousidler: shivi-vivi: thebrownhatter: Friend just linked me this from imgur. It’s a new ToS policy on 360/One It’s over. Xbox is finished for me. Are you fucking kidding me?This is EXACTLYwhat they said they wouldn’t do, and it’s sad how many people are going to be tricked into accepting it because they just ‘trust’ the company. I think it really says a lot about this generation and how it’s shaping up. We’re now in the era where it’s official; We aren’t trusted with services. We pay to be monitored instead of private services. I mean, I kind of get it with the piracy scare, but this? I can’t vouch for this. Fun fact, I looked this up in order to check if it was true or not, and it’s 100%… true. It’s been in effect from October 2012 according to the Terms of Service website, and was drafted September 2012. I’m not certain if that section was drafted earlier or not, or if a different clause actually somewhat negates it, but the fact that this privacy statement exists is a huge blow to Microsoft and their alleged policies. This is the source where I found it. The official Xbox site. The section containing this passage is section 11, Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows-LIVE. Yeeaaah, let’s hope my Tumblr feed isn’t just a silent minority and the majority will actually boycott this console. “You should not expect any level of privacy concerning your use of the live communication features (for example, voice chat, video and communications in live-hosted gameplay sessions) offered through the Xbox LIVE/Games for Windows-LIVE Service. We may monitor these communications to the extent permitted by law. However, we cannot monitor the entire Service and make no attempt to do so. You understand that others can record and use these communications. Communications in live-hosted gameplay sessions may also be broadcast to others. Some games may use game managers and hosts. Game managers and hosts are not authorized Microsoft spokespersons. Their views do not necessarily reflect those of Microsoft. When you use Voice Search, all voice commands are sent to Microsoft and stored to provide the Voice Search Service and improve Microsoft products. If you use Voice Search, you consent to Microsoft recording and collecting your voice input to provide the Voice Search Service and improve Microsoft products. We will treat any voice input according to the Privacy Statement ” I’m fucking done.
