Gamers who are using illegal software or games will no longer be able to access XBOX LIVE as their accounts will soon be deleted by Microsoft. Up to a million of users are expected to be affected by this new move of Microsoft.

XBOX LIVE is one of the services that Microsoft provides to its XBOX 360 users. Some of the features that XBOX 360 gamers could get from joining XBOX LIVE includes multi-players online gaming, game patch downloads, and even streaming videos.

This membership-based online service that was commenced in 2002 has been growing rapidly and has members from all over the world. Unfortunately, this service had also been taken advantage of by some gamers who are using illegal game copies as well as modified XBOX 360 consoles.

“Gamers should have known that using pirated game copies and modifying their XBOX 360 consoles are considered as illegal behaviour. Therefore, we will be getting rid of all of their accounts from XBOX LIVE”, as mentioned by Microsoft’s spokesman, quoted from DetikINET on Thursday (12/11/2009).

There are about 600 thousand to 1 million registered users who are expected to be removed by Microsoft from the use of its XBOX LIVE service.
