Launched less than a month ago, the game ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’, one of the most anticipated of the year, already has something to talk about. The most recent controversy involves problems on Xbox platforms that are behind the suspension of player accounts.
The reason would be the recording and uploading of clips that contain sex and nudity scenes. As you can imagine, the news took over the gaming universe and had a lot of repercussions on social media.
The user of Reddit, Daddy-Vegas, even shared screenshots of three different suspensions, linked to “naked fun at camp” clips. To give you an idea, one of these accounts will only have its suspension finalized on December 28, 2024.

The case generated some mobilization among the players, who were outraged by the situation. They started reporting similar issues in other games.
Daddy-Vegas claimed that the nude clips were automatically uploaded by the server through the server’s settings. Xbox. If it had only been a suspension of days, the climate would have been milder, but the ban is comprehensive.
It changes people’s ability to interact with the Xbox ecosystem and revokes privileges for streaming, uploading clips and screenshots, as well as participating in Xbox parties, editing profiles, etc.
Fast action
Another aspect mentioned by the user is that account blocking occurs quickly, in just 30 seconds, without giving players time to correct the error. The suspicion is that this is something done by a bot.
The Xbox community has a section that requires clear content, no sharing of screenshots or clips of sexual content.
It turns out that the default configuration of the console involves automatically uploading footage to servers, instead of simply saving it to the hard drive. And this is what would lead to non-compliance with the guidelines.
Excessive punishment
Daddy-Vegas explained that he turned off automatic uploading, but says he didn’t notice that the clips would be uploaded to the servers. If it were a short suspension, according to him, it would be understandable, however, he considers more than a year excessive.
Xbox has not yet commented on the case. It is worth mentioning that these situations were recorded outside Brazil and that, as yet, there have been no reports of this type in the country.
