HAH. Just goes to show you the lengths that some people will go to, especially since she first said, and I quote:

That's what I'm getting from this too. Someone else hacked his achievements. Shes a MOM people, she doesn't know the first thing about halo or achievements or how they work. She just saw cheater and went WTF? The mom was a bit naive, and the kids 11, doesn't know better. Microsoft is being pretty cool about this if you ask me.Asehujiko said:
See. Not only is the kid a cheat, the mom is a liar. Being the bit of a bastard I can be sometimes, I say she should consider herself lucky that they don't get slapped with a defamation of character lawsuit or something similar. Or maybe I'm just mad that she's still trying to play the victim card even after blatantly lying and exploiting her son's illness to try and make a company look bad for following its standard procedures.
In short, I hereby declare that I find that kid's mom to be a total *****. They shouldn't even get a free month of Gold (the kid cheated, and then the mom ran to the media and lied. neither are deserving regardless of any illnesses).

Yup, and I agreedeth2munkies said:
I'm autistic too but I don't milk it... (however it is my only excuse of "HOW THE HECK COULD YOU DO THIS IN A MONTH THAT TOOK ME 3 YEARS?!" ...like getting all the beat hazard achievements, getting all the castle crasher characters, 5 starring through the fire and flames in a month [still hate that game])
That kind of stuff
on a side note
Yeah people, stop milking disabilities and playing this up and-
Wait a minute... did this say FOX News?
...that must mean his mom is a republican or an idiot... both of which explain everything on the "milking it/blowing it out of proportion")
Side Note: They still do 1 month free? I got a new 360 recently and made a gamertag for it (TrueWOPR) and got no gold free
So the kid gets rewarded for cheating, (then, I'm guessing, lying to his mother about it). Fantastic.Tom Goldman said:
Still, at least the mother had the honesty to admit her kid is actually in the wrong. Pity Microsoft didn't have the balls to stand their ground over the cheating...
Okay. Now try actually reading what this article says, because it's not what you just described at all. What really happened is they knew damn well this other player was going to cheat to give him armor, and they went ahead with it and gave that other player the account details so he could do it. Then they played the victim card when they got busted for the cheating they both knew had happened.Asehujiko said:
The key is they gave the other guy the account details. If he had hacked the kids account, that would be a different story. But they willingly gave that information so someone could cheat for them, which means they deserve the punishment. And after the mom goes to the media and lies about how her son didn't cheat, yeah, those of us in reality think poorly of the mother.
To paraphrase Stephen Toulouse himself during Desert Bus IV:
Stepto's Law: The length and complexity of an explanation is directly proportionate to how much of it is lies.

My question is, did the kid understand he was cheating? I'm not convinced he understood the nuance of the situation. Which doesn't mean he shouldn't be punished for it, just the same, I'm just wondering.
Oh please everyone that is on there high freaking horse . Oh he shouldn't have cheated hes a bad boy. How many of your achievements have you gotten 100% on your own with no help from any one else . Youtube/friend/faqs everyone does so grow up quit hammering the kid. As for his disability until you know the full extent don't assume you know what the kid can and can't do. Autism can be a real *****. The mother over reacted to lash out at Xbox facts are fact kid got caught.
You selfish twat... pardon my french.
Microsoft has been saying for at least a couple years now that they will not tollerate cheating of any extent and anyone caught doing so will have their gamerscore reset to 0 or be banned from the service and everything in between. But you using your child's ailment to gain sympathy from the community and whatever else you tried to do is just sick.
There are things on XBOX LIVE I'd love to get like the gold camos in Black Ops but I'm not going to cheat the system because I don't want my score reset; I worked hard to get up to 27,000 gamerscore and I don't want all that taken away. Although I don't know how some people on LIVE have over 150,000 gamerscore unless those are points aquired from the Original XBOX.
