"For text and profile complaints we actually review every complaint against the Code of Conduct and Terms of Use to determine whether the complaint is accurate. We DO NOT take action based off the number of complaints, or how often people complain in a given day. All complaints we get into the system against a Gamertag or content are reduced to one so that our agents merely review the content against the terms of use. Whether it's one complaint or 20, we will look at it the same way. That's the metric we use and that we have publicly communicated that we use.
"We view these situations objectively during our review under the terms of use. To answer the question another way, yes "TheStraighterGamer" or "TheHeterosexualgamer" would have gotten the same treatment and would have been found to be in violation and forced to be changed. We've actually done that to tags like that before.
Racism, hate speech, bigotry, homophobia, all these things have no place on Xbox Live and are in violation of our Terms of Use and Code of Conduct. My team works hard reviewing the complaints every single day and taking action on them where appropriate."

XDefiant netcode improvements have been rolled out confirmed by the devs, as the Dedsec's Spider-bot ability is being reworked.

Though i agree the truth is that it always sells well and then millions are made in ultimate team.

That's not the XBLA I know and love, my fine feathered friend ;P
