Xbox Owner Receives Year-Long Ban After Uploading Baldur's Gate 3 Clips

If you've played Baldur's Gate 3, you'll know that it has the potential for some risqué scenes, and one particular Xbox owner is warning other BG3 fans to avoid uploading any clips like this to the Xbox servers.

That's because the user, known as Daddy-Vegas on Reddit, has received a 366-day suspension for recording and accidentally uploading three clips that depicted "some naked camp time fun". You can see the suspensions below:

"I recorded 3 clips last night of some naked camp time fun. Xbox, by default, uploads all recorded clips to the server for easy sharing. Each clip counted as a different infraction and got my account banned for a year. I'm hoping the appeals process fixes this, but as of now; I can't play any game that requires a network connection (basically making all the money I put into MW3 over the last 6 months even more worthless)".

As mentioned, Daddy-Vegas wasn't aware that they had uploaded these clips to the Xbox servers, as this feature has to be turned off manually. If you want to know how to do that, here are the instructions:

  1. Go to Profile & System
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Choose Preferences
  4. Go to Capture & Share
  5. Choose Automatic Uploads
  6. Turn off the feature from here!

Obviously it doesn't seem fair that this Reddit user received such a large suspension for simply playing and recording a game on their Xbox console, so hopefully the appeals process will be able to identify this and take it away. In any case, it's a good reminder that if you want to avoid any similar problems, it's best to turn off automatic uploads!
