Hardcore Gamer: It's not the customer's job to police a retailer's distribution methods, or give the smallest care in the world as to when a company wants their product put on sale. Holding a customer accountable for a simple shipping error is the utter opposite of customer service.

Achilles: Legends Untold is a great narrative of Greek mythology, but its gameplay dynamics contradict that of a typical ARPG.
More clickbait XBOX flame. They can do what they want. He was punished for revealing everything about the UI and system not for targets shipping error
In fairness lot more people feel confident now in their pre-order after this leak. And, i think more people will be pre-ordering now.
They should unban him, its unacceptable to not.
Well its ridiculous.
The dude buys a videogame and then he is delivered the videogame. He plays the videogame and shows off his videogame. What's the problem?
MS sucks so hard.
While I agree that may have been a bad PR choice it is their network. Major Nelson has also confirmed that this person will not be banned permanently. I would expect that on launch day he will be back online.
I think that what he was doing for the launch was positive but at the same time you have to remember that Sony and MS have Billions invested in these consoles and they really don't want to loose control of information about their system. Sony would have done the same thing.
Ultimately these are publicly traded companies who have to provide projections to their share holders as to how they will perform financially. Anything that seems like it may have the potential to create uncertainty about that performance, like not being able to control what this person posts about their console certainly falls into that category.
It was not necessarily what this guy was posting but a lack of knowledge or control over what may be posted.
Just imagine if either console ended up with a customer that received a console and then a smudge got on a game disk without them noticing and then they put the game in and it does not work.
I know a few people who would go right off the handle and make some nasty negative posts on the internet which could have a huge impact on the bottom line of that company.
It may seem shitty but in the end it is a wise thing to do when you have Billions riding on the line.
It's pretty obvious that Microsoft would object to someone splashing a whole bunch of previously unknown Xbox One information over the internet.
While the details were interesting I don't know if I'd have done the same thing in his position - particularly now that launch is so close anyway.
