Should a guy be banned from a network and lose all his games because his name is offensive?
you want to be a special snowflake?

That's what the gets for being a mudslime desu.
No, but he should have his content graded especially.

Stuff like this do happen.
It was his own responsibility to not put his terrorist name as his account ID. If his legal name was "killamericans" it wouldn't be any different.
you get banned for offensive nicknames, I don't really see a difference here

I got banned from xbox because ms fucked up their black ops 1 digital limited edition. The system flagged me as stealing it because i downloaded it at the same time as the game.
Lost my years old account, and a ton of digital purchases.
I immediately put cfw on my disc drive and pirate everything. The future of video games sucks and borrowing a license versus owning a physical product isnt worth the investment anymore. Let the industry die and reboot.
Ms is clearly losing money since they gave in and are supporting their shit xbox games on their shit win10 platform.
Sony makes a few good games here and there, but fuck buying 5 year old hardware
>>342994291
So muslims are at fault for believing in a religion that tells them to dominate non-believers, and as such they should reflect upon themselves and change their ways for the good of society?
>>342992879
Yes, and no. Most people who make offensive names are trying to be offensive, and thus banning the lil edgelords isn't a problem.
However, in this case, this guy wasn't doing that. They should always be given an option to change their tag if its offensive, and if they persist to use offensive names then a ban is in order.

Not quite as bad as the UK, which, you know. Repealed Double motherfucking Jeopardy. They then threw a literal parade for the person who got it repealed and gave them a literal medal and literally named them the citizen of the year.
>But when it came to the lifetime achievement award, things got serious. The award was going to Doreen Lawrence for her campaign for justice on behalf of her son Stephen, who was murdered by racists in south-east London in 1993. The video that introduced Doreen Lawrence celebrated her work in bringing about the conviction of David Norris and Gary Dobson for Stephen’s death in January this year. The video also celebrated the repeal of ‘double jeopardy’, a legal principle that said a defendant cannot be tried again for a crime he has been acquitted of, and commended Lawrence’s stand against this ‘400-year-old’ legal barrier to justice.
>Stephen Lawrence’s family have always had a certain quiet dignity in the face of their media canonising, their unusual elevation to the status of anti-racist demigods by the media over the past 19 years. Now, it seems, that history may well remember Doreen Lawrence as the woman whose restless campaigning ended double jeopardy as a result of her brave stand against allegedly arcane legal principles.

Never for real names (Unless your parents were stupid twats and gave you some name like Dickpenis McGee, in which case, use a pseudonym or get your name legally changed bud), but obviously a company should have every right to think that a name like NiggerDisintegrator6661488 shouldn't be allowed, and enforce their rules as such. You're stupid if you're above the age of 16 and think it's cool to give yourself deliberately offensive online usernames anyway.
>>343000420
It's kind of silly to say that a civilization should change just to keep feelings from being hurt.
Naturally saying something like that would cause them to be angry and upset.
>>343000986
They didn't repeal Double Jeopardy, they just added a clause to it that, if new and impactful evidence arises after the first verdict and the crime is one of a serious nature (Murder, rape, etcetera), then there can be a retrial IF they get permission from the director of public prosecutions and the court of appeals quashes the first acquittal.

Someone who has never used PSN or Xbox Live here. I have a few questions:
1. So, if you buy a game from the PS Store, and pay for PSN, if you get banned you lose the games you spent money to buy?
2. So, if you play a online PS game, like Overwatch, pay for PSN, and get banned on your account, it deletes your save file?
I'm probably just asking stupid questions.

2. much more importantly, sony being able to invalidate all your purchases because they don't like your screen name
>>342993003
that's not being a special snowflake, it's just using your name as part of your sn. it's dumb at worst. it's like having bob123.
the more harm those subhuman mudslimes get, the better
>>343003575
Companies can hide behind ToS or something similar
>>343002873
Xbox live would just give you a small ban and a free name change.
There's no way to change your name on PSN however, so there's no way to solve an offensive name issue without a ban.
When your account is banned, you lose access to things tied to the account, including save files. They aren't necessarily deleted, you just don't have access to them.

His parents gave him a terrible name. He should use a different one, move on, and not make a national case out of it.
What if people named Shithead (and yes, there are people named that, google it) try to use their real name as their username. Should these companies suspend their content rules for them too just because their parents gave them a stupid name?
>uses the online handle "i jihad"

I don't really agree with banning people for having "offensive" usernames, but if it's against the rules of a service and you choose to violate those rules you deserve what you get.
>>342993003
>you choose your own name
>>343004779
Unless this guy was born before 2000, Jihad was a relatively common name that wasn't associated with a holy war. It's gotten a bad connotation the last two decades. It's like people named Adolf before WWII and after WWII.
>>343004802
This. It's clear he was just baiting and wanted this shit to happen so he could get his 15 minutes.
He's like that stupid Muslim kid in Texas who brought the TOTALLY INNOCENT CLOCK EVERYONE WHO THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING NEFARIOUS IS RACIST to school.

That's what he says. Unless he has actual proof he's been using it as his PSN name for years he has nothing to fall back on. Lets give the guy some credit and just say he thought it up to get some free shit instead of just happening to inevitably get free shit out of Sony being retarded.

Seems like something that a kid wouldn't think much about. Like, it's just their name probably didn't think about the implications to the rest of the world

My mom dated a guy named Richard Gay for a while.
When my dad found out he couldn't stop laughing because he actually knew the guy. Apparently even his own family called him "Little Dickie Gay"he was an asshole

There's no reason to believe he picked his name for the possibility of free shit in the future.
If you can't back up your reasoning to hold this belief, I'm just going to call you retarded.

>unless he can prove he didn't do it he probably did it
Nice reasoning.

Holy shit people like you are retarded. You act like nothing bad can ever happen to anybody and there is always some grand keikaku happening.
