Baldur’s Gate 3, crowned game of the year 2023, can go very far in the representation of nudity. A point that can pose a problem on Xbox consoles.
If you play Baldur’s Gate 3 on Xbox Series S and/or Xbox Series X, be careful. As we discovered without this article published on December 31 by DualShockers, it is probably quite easy to get banned due to the frontal nudity displayed in the RPG (which you can deactivate if you do not want to see genitals everywhere) . This mishap happened to Daddy-Vegas, who told his story on Reddit.
Player Daddy-Vegas saw his account banned for 366 days for the following reason: he wanted to record small clips of Baldur’s Gate 3 to show them to his brother. In his words, they were composed of sequences around “ of a campfire “, with some ” naked fun “. According to his captures, he received three notifications with a penalty that only increased: 4 days, then 22 days and, finally, 366 days. The clips were shared on December 28.
Be careful when recording clips on your Xbox console
What happened when Daddy-Vegas seems to be using his Xbox console normally? He unknowingly broke the community rules. Thus, by default, clips, once recorded, are automatically downloaded to Microsoft servers. Except that the code of conduct stipulates in the tab dedicated to content linked to his account: “ People all over the world play on Xbox, and we understand that everyone has their own opinions on mature and adult topics. But because the Xbox community should remain friendly and accessible to everyone, it’s not an appropriate place for sexual content. » The multinational clearly gives the example of captures and clips, which should not be shared if there are elements likely to shock.
Daddy-Vegas therefore found himself trapped: his Xbox did what was forbidden, without taking into account the specificities of Baldur’s Gate 3 (sacred game of the year in 2023). In the columns of DualShockers, he defends himself: “ I understand that they don’t want this content to be available to children, but I didn’t know that uploading these clips to the cloud also means that they are shared in public (…). I simply captured moments imagined by Larian Studios, in a game that Xbox took my money for and using a feature that involves simply pressing a button on the controller. »
The victim obviously turned against Microsoft in order to appeal the decision. He won his case. In a message published on Reddit on January 2, he indicated that he had received a favorable response. “ We looked at your situation a second time and decided to lift the account sanction “, we can read. Daddy-Vegas had received the support of many people, knowing that he was not the only one to have been sanctioned. This was, for example, the case of Iamoolivia: “ I made this mistake with the Attack on the Titan game. »
