Re: "Reupload at your own risk", there, happy

In Response To: "Reupload at your own risk", there, happy (kornman00)

: Why does it really matter when the game type is already in someone else's
: file share? Where do you 'keep reading from them' this notion and in what
: context? Modding a screenshot to instead be a picture of a naked person
: with a Spartan helmet slapped over their face is a far cry from modifying
: a game type to the extent in which its meant to be used (ie, for playing
: MP!).

: That 'one account' could have banned for something else besides hosting a
: modified game type in their file share.

: Correct -me- if I'm wrong, but when Bungie started dealing with the modded
: screenshots that contained pictures of non-game matter, they commented
: about it. 343i has not done the same (either approving or shunning), at
: least not on any official medium like Waypoint.

: I mean Jesus, it's a game type that SUPPORTS the playing of their game in a
: non-malicious way. I've been doing other such mods for years in previous
: games and have yet to get a finger shaked at me or a C&D. If 343i really
: needs a scapegoat for someone trying to use modified game types to try and
: get more people to play and enjoy their game what....7 months after
: release? They can use me. I'm pretty sure they're able to track fileshare
: content just fine in that manner.

: Even if they ever did someone worse than a fileshare ban to me (pretty sure
: console bans have to come from a specific section of MS), it wouldn't fret
: me too much because I'm not even sure I want to renew my XBL service or
: get a XBone this year. But I digress.

I already gave you a link in another topic. It was a 343i employee. It is strange that 343i hasn't blasted the airwaves with warnings about modded content in fileshares. I've just seen their occasional tweets.

So you'll be including a warning each time you publish information on modded content? After all, if you really care about giving people what you think they need, shouldn't you also care they be able to use it safely?
