The fight against toxic behavior is eternal on the Internet, and console manufacturers obviously take the subject seriously, as do video game developers and publishers. Solutions exist, such as permanently banning a player from a game if they cheat or harass their teammates, but Phil Spencer wants to go even further.
During a long interview with the New York Times, the boss of the branch Xbox of Microsoft explains wanting toa system where the user would be banned from all platforms if he commits a serious fault :
Something I would like to see is the ability for us – and this is something difficult in this industry – to ensure that when someone is banned from one of our services, they are also banned. other services.
A very utopian system, and which has its limits and its weaknesses, this is why Phil Spencer imagines another system, easier to set up, where the player can transfer his list of blocked people from one service to another. But here again, all manufacturers and publishers should walk hand in hand in the same direction. However, as recalled Twinfinite, Activision has already tested this kind of systems with its games Call of Duty. When a player is sanctioned, for cheating or otherwise, his account Activision is banned. And since it is necessary to connect to this account on any platform to play a game from the publisher, it is very difficult for him to repeat his misdeeds.
So, permanently banning a player from all services, a good or bad idea? As a reminder, you can find the Xbox Series S at € 299 on Amazon.
