Xbox One Sign Out Trolling

Amazing number of kids in that, it's an 18 rated game and Activision have never done anything about it. Most of their sales are probably illegal, not to mention the fact that we have to babysit these kids. No wonder they end up so f***ed up :S

(Slightly related)

 

It's that same reason I set up my son's account, if he wants to play 18 games, he can offline, (just to meet him halfway, a little give, a little take) but the ps3 will not allow him to play them online. (I'm assuming the Xbox's do this too)

(he's 15, those he's allowed by the console to play online)

Hello,

Activision? They dont have to do anything. Its the retailers that are not suppose to sell the game.

Ive seen retailers ask for ID and some dont.

I thought this was going to be someone shouting "XBOX SIGN OUT!!!!" in a game and other people's Xboxes processing the commands. :p

Yep, exactly what I was expecting!

 

I remember a long time ago I was playing a web based version of monopoly, and people were doing funky ASCII characters in the chat, someone asked how to do it and they told them press ALT + F4. I didn't make the connection between that being typed and the person suddely dropping, needless to say that guy got an easy win because I followed too :(

I'd say a large majority, if not all of the games played by these kids are bought by their parents.

 

I don't think retailers need to see ID to notice the difference between a 12yr old and someone who is over 18.

It's not technically illegal. 

I know I was a kid once but I hate kids. To be fair I was never a whiny brat in MP. Tbh any time I did play MP I was mostly mute and just having fun. Spent I don't know how many hours playing TFC, never once called someone any one of the names you seem to hear during any given COD round.

Kids playing "M" rated games is as illegal as them watching "X" rated movies.

Back in the days of TFC I'd wager mic chat wasn't as prevalent as it is today :p

I used to troll the MSN chat rooms by saying "If a ding is a dong, then a bing is a ?" and watching everyone get automatically kicked out for saying "bong" (what can I say? I was about 13 years old and found it hilarious) :D

It sure wasn't

/starts typing on keyboard... Dangit been sniped! Or blown up by a demoman....

I genuinely put part of my fast typing skills down to chatting in TFC over all the work and studying in education lol.

used to be able to crash full chat rooms by typing ".pf" as a message.  It would kick everyone out of the conversation/room.

I know someone who stopped asking for IDs and stopped offering advice to customers after a mother abused him when he tried to explain to her the game she was buying (I can't remember the title) wasn't suitable for her ~8 year old.  :laugh:

 

Apparently, even his boss told him not to waste his time offering rating advice for games because man parents simply don't want to hear it.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
