最近,一款将登陆 Xbox One 平台的重制游戏大作《战争机器:终极版》的消息在网上爆出,不少系列粉丝对登陆本世代平台的战争机器游戏很期待,同时微软似乎对参与测试项目的曝料者很不满。据消息,微软决定采取措施,让确定的曝料者 Xbox One 主机“完全不可用”一段时间作为惩罚,而这个操作微软是通过在线进行的。
根据知名游戏网站 Kotaku 报道,微软以及提供测试服务的承包商 VMC Games 已经向泄露新作消息的玩家发送邮件通知,由于违反了微软的 EULA 协议,曝料者的 Xbox One 主机将“完全禁用”一段时间(基于微软对于泄露造成的损害严重程度判断),Xbox Live 个人账号以及开发账号则被永久封停。
由 VMC 代表微软发送给泄露社区的邮件如下:
Now, new wording is about to reach the community regarding this particular event. The nature of the leak having had occurred through Xbox One, actually also went against the Microsoft EULA, which is agreed upon when creating an Xbox LIVE account, or any other type of Microsoft account. This being said, as per that agreement with the testers in fault, Microsoft also permanently disabled their Xbox LIVE accounts (as well as other suspected accounts present on their Xbox One kits) and temporarily blocked all of their Xbox One privileges – meaning that for a period of time which Microsoft decides on depending on the severity of the offense, their Xbox One is entirely unusable.
我们也许对厂商封停违规用户的游戏账号还有耳闻,但还是头一次听说主机能被“完全禁用”。似乎微软掌握着每一位 Xbox One 主机用户的“生死开关”,Kotaku 指出,涉及泄露的 Xbox One 主机均是个人消费版,而非开发用机。
