"Wtf" seems a bit of an understatement.

http://www.slapstic.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100:microsoft-cheats-gamer-out-of-121250-gamerpoints-&catid=10:opinion-articles

Gamer "JackTheWhack" had racked up over 120 thousand gamer points and was the highest ranked in New Jersey... According to the article in the link Microsoft was even going to have a feature on him, until they freaked out and completely wiped out his achievements to 0, and labelled him "cheater". Apparantly he sold his 360 after it happened...

So Microsoft is paranoid now? Likes punishing loyal fans to an extent at which the fan is alienated?

Just.... there are no words.


Oh, whaddayano, it's my first c-blog post. Hi...?






[EDIT]Something to show that it's likely true http://xboxamerica.com/profiles/1978/JackTheWhack

All those games and 35 points? sure. And his last activity was over a month ago, so he probably did sell it.

I don't understand? What are you talking about? Remember, we're too lazy to click through links here. Serious business.

I saw this earlier. Basically some dube had a shit-load of gamerpoints from the various games he rented. Basically MS thought he was a cheater for some reason, and threw him in the "cheater" zone. They also wiped out his whole achievements.

This is lame! Microsoft needs to actually look into stuff instead of punishing their most loyal users.

Looks like they took away his cheater status and he was last seen playing world at war an hour ago.

And he owned a transfer kit for his 360 which lets your transfer saves to and from your pc which fills his story with holes.

From Microsoft:
"Under what circumstances does LIVE correct a specific gamerscore?
Specific and automated criteria are used to determine if a player has earned achievements by using tools that circumvent the game or avoid game play entirely. A player who meets these criteria has their gamerscore corrected."

Final nail in the coffin.

He is a lier. His gamerscore before his points were wiped was 9251. He only has played a whopping 32 games. Also if you read MS's policy on gamerscore cheaters you would see that you cannot regain achievements that you've already earned before you were labeled a cheater, so his story about getting a mirror's edge achievement he had prevously gotten is made up as well. And from what I've read he was never interviewed for gamer spotlight. This is all a made up story in order to promote his amazon store.

My BS Detector went off when the linked article mentioned he was supposed to have been interviewed "last Thursday".
