People typically get banned on Xbox for cheating on multiplayer games, like using aimbots etc.

The question was about access to single player games if you got banned on multiplayer games

He said, of course you will have access. The parent post said you'd be banned from playing your single player games if you got banned on Xbox Live. So yes, the benefit is access to single player games when you're banned from multiplayer games for cheating or being an abusive troll using bad language etc. in voice chat. Hope that makes it clear.

I didn't need help, you did :)

No, see the last tweet here.

Thats a silly remark insulting rural places. Any company would fire anyone who made such comments.

Or perhaps he doesn't live in the Reddit and blogosphere vocal minority bubble hating on the PS4.
Reddit posted a Facebook poll by Amazon about PS4 vs. XBox One multiple times to game it. The PS4 got only 38K votes, that shows how small the vocal minority is....

Trying this again. Do you have a reference stating that games won't run if cam is obstructed?

You never have your phone around you when you are having conversations with people?

You totally failed to mention MajorNelson's take on the issue in your post and instead took the twitter rep statement as fact. If you didn't have facts as you admit now why make that post categorically stating without any caveats that one loses access to single player games on getting banned? Sorry for my outburst, but there are a lot of people already invested into the PS4 ecosystem who are using every opportunity to discount the Xbox One on internet forums, regardless of facts.

Re-read the OP post.
Here it is again.

Now if you claim that OP says money is immaterial, take an English and a Reading Comprehension course before posting again.
Also, no one cares what you buy or don't, iPad and iPhone are selling tens of millions every quarter. Buy as many Raspberry Pis as you want.

Citation needed about that.

The Kinect is required because they want to encourage game devs to use the Kinect. If it were optional, developers may skip using some features since they may not be available. I don't see how it won't work if cam is obstructed.

No, the canned guy made silly remarks on twitter while acting on behalf of MS. Try dissing your company's customers in front of your company folks and see how it goes. (if you work i.e).

I love it how when faced with simple facts you retreat to personal insults instead of addressing them.

Ask someone else to read the thread and they can tell you if your post makes any sense.

If you can't see the difference between a level 1 rep, a director of programming and a spokesperson, no one can help you.

They mothballed it because the world moved onto smartphones for playing music. WP7's music player was called zune and the interface was heavily derived from it too.

How is it different from every iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet or laptops with webcams, recording even your location, video and audio?

Severely less gamer friendly features like what, not requiring users to keep changing the discs in the console to prove they're not thieves after paying for a 500gb hard drive? Or not getting screwed by a scratched or lost disc like on the PS4?
