Xbox user banned for recording Baldur's Gate 3 characters nude

An Xbox user has been banned for over a year for recording Baldur’s Gate 3 gameplay, and urges other users to be careful what clips they record.

As far as mature content goes, Baldur’s Gate 3 has it in spades. As most of the internet will tell you the game is rife with gore and nudity, which is seemingly the reason so many people play the game in the first place.

In the privacy of your own home, that’s all well and good, but some Xbox users are getting into trouble for recording dodgy parts of the game. For those unaware you can record gameplay clips ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes and upload them to the Xbox network when they’re saved. You can change your settings to upload them automatically or do it manually, and it’s the first option that’s causing problems for Baldur’s Gate 3 players.

Reddit user Daddy-Vegas shared a screenshot of their account being suspended for 366 days following three clips of nude cutscenes being automatically uploaded to the network. Xbox operates on a three-strike system, with each clip earning the user a strike against their account.

Despite Baldur’s Gate 3 being a fictional world with fake butts and boobs, it still counts as breaching the terms of use and since everyone’s network sharing setting is set to automatic uploads by default, many accounts could be at risk depending on what they’re recording.

Some Xbox users have queried why the company can’t just implement a mature tag that would only reveal NSFW content to those that allow it, rather than banning anyone that even dares share goblin nudes via their account.

The point was also raised that the majority of games being clipped feature people being shot, stabbed and blown up, but genitals are where the line is drawn.

Regardless, let Xbox players be warned, either be careful what clips and screenshots you capture or alter your settings to only upload when you say so, otherwise your account could be at risk.
