Cheaters beware...Microsoft plans to do more than just reset the gamerscores of cheaters in the Xbox Live community. “The bar is a little bit higher than that,” Microsoft's Stephen Toulouse said on a recent edition of the Major Nelson radio podcast. “The other thing it does is, it puts a tag that you’ve been cheating on your gamercard. That’s a pretty big Scarlet Letter.”
Hell yeah it is!
For those not in the loop, this was brought on by a recent string of cheaters exploiting Gears of War 2, and we all know that you DON'T MESS WITH THE GEARS (at least, from Microsoft's perspective...). It is nice to see Microsoft making a statement and not allowing cheaters to prosper and tarnish the online console gaming community though...because, ya know...CHEATERS SUCK!
