Got a message from MS on Xbox Live, just said there was an error with the code and sorry for the inconvenience, no mention of a ban....

And nobody got banned, seems he knows less than he thinks he does.

Asking for the disc or directs to the store for purchase, which won't be happening at all. No loss.

Still offline, still works, rather have online without the game, going online now to see if it goes off, no loss if it does, reminds me of 'True Crime on PS2. No need to update this comment if it goes off, if somehow it stays on I'll let y'all know. Tc.

Offline since downloaded, it's quite a shiznit game, might just activate online and see what happens, no loss if I lose the licence as it's not as good as GTA v.

Game still working fine and got it several hours ago and have been online all day playing GTA. Just anytime I exit Watchdogs (tried 3x) and try load up another game I'll get a brief network error and have to open new game twice. Possibly a Ubisoft app issue though as l linked that up and if I click the error takes me to Ubisoft app so probably best not to link up your stolen game lol

My xbox is set to offline since this afternoon. Has everyone else lost their licence to this game?
I'm sure gonna play mine first before going g online again. Just curious what happened to everyone else

Good luck to them trying to ban that many people, how many would take losing their whole digital library sitting down. I think revoking it from everyone would be the preferred option they will take.
DavidPearl
22 Dec 16#42
Dunno why people are worried?
Same thing happened last year with Fallout 4 and basically Microsoft revoked the license and gave everyone £10 credit for their mistake.
Cant Ban people for downloading something that is a Microsoft issue.

The code clearly stated it was to be shared with friends. So all that's happened is everyone has used it and passed it on to a friend like it told you to. Did none of your friends offer you it or something? :grin:

Those people are stupid and paranoid.
There's got to be at least 10% of xbox owners have done this glitch.
If my account gets banned, my console will be up for sale come the new year.
A lot of people would do the same considering the library from xbox live, and digital downloads are now lost.
Microsoft are far behind the ps4 market and if they ban that many people. Everyone would just pick up a ps4 instead of a xbox one from the bad press and the negative bad word of mouth.
It's not worth it in the long run, and I'd be speechless if Microsoft went this route.
NickyOhMG
22 Dec 16#31
Its win win for Microsoft really. They've just secured potential revenue by initiating this / allowing this to continue rather than pushing an instant ban/license revoke. No doubt you'll all see a wee message soon after you're hooked saying you no longer own this title and If you want to continue please buy now for a special price of £79.99. :grin:
dave859
22 Dec 16#30
Some people on Twitter have been contacting Microsoft support asking for the game license to be removed from their account because of the worry of being banned. Looking around on facebook and other forums I would say the glitch has been used by thousands of people which is only a good thing as I really can't see microsoft banning that many accounts.

downloaded in under 1hr on virgin 100mb.. son playing it for last 2 hours no problems.. bought this from amazon so gives him a chance to try this or send back to amazon unopened after Christmas.. i did open a new live account just in case they do ban him .. was looking to buy this myself for my ps4 but not that impressed with the game .. even if they do revoke the game think i will be sending the original back i bought him and change it for foza 3 for him

I dunno how people have the front to sell this knowing its gonna get revoked.
Ironic that a game about hacking people and stealing their money is being exploited online by people downloading it for free (and essentially stealing Ubisoft's money)

The game still works. Just when I exit it does something to my network connection so have to force close it before opening another game. Maybe I pushed my luck downloading extra add ons and signing into Ubisoft for free game money - where as people are being more sensible and playing offline!! I'm more interested in seeing what their online set up is like though so just treating it like a demo and seeing what happens and if I grow to like it may buy it when I have to. Download took a while at first but let's you launch at 40% or something but second half faster.
Unlikely to ban everyone who's done this as the number of accounts won't be small it's been all over social media so anyone who doesn't own it is likely to have at least been tempted!! Probably just tell you you don't have access to it when you load it up in a few days.

Reading back through the comments, i find it highly amusing people are mentioning stealing from the devs.... come on, it's Ubisoft Montreal, the same team that released Assassins Creed Unity which was an absolute disgrace on release, I didn't see them clamouring to give everyone a refund for a complete broken mess.
**** them.

I've played offline for a while but yeah this game is pretty rubbish. Tries to act "hip" but fails. I feel the hacking mechanic is forced down your throat a tad too much. Unlike what dogs one, it wasn't overwhelming with what you can hack.
This only felt interesting when trying to sneak missions with the small bounce bot, but I feel rather bored with it.
