In an updated privacy statement available to view here Microsoft has detailed how the Xbox One’s Kinect will use any data it collects during play. Xbox One owners are advised details about your appearance gleaned from Kinect’s facial recognition technology will be totally private, but are also reminded not to expect any level of privacy while chatting over the service.
In terms of voice chat, however, the privacy statement advises users they “should not expect any level of privacy concerning your use of the live communication features such as voice chat, video and communications in live-hosted gameplay sessions offered through the Services.” Microsoft says it may monitor communications “to the extent permitted by law, but we cannot monitor the entire Service and make no attempt to do so.” The company reminds users that other players could record and use your communications on Xbox Live and your “[c]ommunications in live-hosted gameplay sessions may also be broadcast to others.”
UK indie outfit Roll7 is reportedly facing closure, along with Bethesda’s Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin – but if making award-running, profitable games doesn’t guarantee safety, what will?
Idk. Great games have still been releasing. Mcsft is still no different than after the 360 era. PS, you just have to wait many years for. Nintendo is readying next gen and will definitely have many games. 3rd party and indies have been the highlight so far this year.
"Today, developer Owlcat Games is excited to reveal the sixth and final DLC expansion for its critically acclaimed cRPG, "Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous".

A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
I'd be careful of the " we reserve the right to make any changes in the future" part companies always hide in small print
What happened to "we are not monitoring you"?
MS needs to make sure they make this as transparent as possible and answer and prove what they say. I think the monitoring statement is a reflection of the new rep system and smart match. The 2nd part: This sounds to me that they are warning people that other people can record what they say or do and post it on any site. The last portion was also listed on the TOU for the first Kinect.
Edited: Just re-read the Privacy Statement. I do not see anything new in this statement that was not stated in the last. I could be wrong.
"Except as described in this privacy statement, we won’t disclose your personal information to a third party without your consent."
Lol....and here we go.
just the tip, i promise.
