Legal Question
Ok so I play on the Xbox Live Network that Microsoft has. Over the last two years or so, I have noticed that players who have been suspended or just banned altogether seems to have just went thru the roof. About 7 times out of 10, the suspended/banned player will make a statement to the effect “why was I banned/suspended” claiming no knowledge that he/she has done anything wrong. Usually the response has to do with the Terms Of Conduct or something similar as in “you violated the TOC”. That is usually about all the player will get. Rarely does MS get real specific with the details.
So my question is this:
Can MS legally suspend/ban (i.e., cancel) a player’s account (who has already paid for it) without specifying why the player is being punished? If I was banned, I would want a specific date, time, and what I said (supposedly) and other imformation I might want. But it seems that all MS has to do is just issue “you are suspended/banned” and that is it. They don’t seem to have to backup their claim with evidence. How can they do this?
