When videos of an early build of the Gears of War Remaster leaked yesterday, it didn't take long for Microsoft to react. Because of their actions breaking non disclosure agreements, leakers of the footage will be prevented from signing in to Xbox Live for an indefinite amount of time.
Testing partner VMC Games released a statement which described the punishment as rendering the affected users' consoles "entirely unusable," but this was later refuted by Microsoft, who responded to news outlets saying "To be clear, if a console is suspended from Xbox Live for a violation of the Terms of Use, it can still be used offline. Microsoft enforcement action does not result in a console becoming unusable."
