Gamerscore Correction coming into effect!

By | March 25, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

For any of you that have been cheating, or more commonly known as “game-saving”, for gamerscore on Xbox Live, your days of having a high gamerscore are limited. Major Nelson just posted an article on Gamerscore Correction. It basically details Xbox Live’s policy on game-saving and cheating, and what steps will be taken on accounts that have been identified by the system as cheaters.

The steps (quoted directly from Major Nelson):

  • Resetting the entire Gamerscore for an account to zero
  • The account will be unable to regain all previously obtained achievements and Gamerscore, however, the players will have the ability to gain future Achievements by earning them fairly, like the majority of the Xbox LIVE community does.
  • The account will be clearly labeled as a cheater for the community to view on xbox.com. You can see an example here. In dash, the personal view of the gamercard will be labeled as well.

This should curb the rampant cheating of Gamerscore online and will leave anyone that has been cheating with the fear of getting caught. Xbox.com also has an FAQ posted about the whole process, and you can read all about it there. If you wish to discuss this further with fellow gamers, hit up the 360Sync.com Forums, and there’ll surely be people discussing this policy.

    Fuck those bastards why can’t they just leave it alone. The whole xbox thing is already bad enough. They’re just making it worse.

    This is stupid, yes I gamesaved – I did not want to play through crackdown and Perfect Dark again after I reformatted my HDD and lost all my gamesaves (thanks to MS support for that advice after 1st RROD).

    I can’t believe they’re doing this for some meaningless points. I also gamesaved on xbox1 – Action Replay was my friend. How many people bought gameshark for gamecube and Ps2, or never used a cheat from gamefaqs? To this day they still sell mad catz gamesaving things on best buy, why doesnt MS shut them down?

    If they reset my gamerscore I’ll move on to Sony and start over with what they have. MS is going to lose a lot of good gamers from this. Its going to be teh stupidist move ever on behalf of MS games and the Live Team. People will be furious. I know I’ll never buy another 360 game or renew my GT subscription if they reset my gamerscore.

    @dre i think its for serious game-savers…like the people that are at 200,000+ GS…i mean if you did all that legit, it shouldn’t hit you…then we all know what’s going to happen…

    As far as gamesaves to recover GP…..aren’t listed gamerpoints achieved displayed weather or not you have the game save or not????? I don’t have to have the save on my HDD for an achievement to be listed. Just had to perform a quick gamertag recovery.

    Any comments on this process as i am unsure of the details
