I for one believe Microsoft here, putting aside the fact that the kid is autistic and that somehow means he can't be a cheater, because that makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.
What is more likely?
1.) Kid obsessed with achievements cheated and doesn't want to be labeled a cheater (well DUH he doesn't want the label)
or
2.) Microsoft gets its kicks off of fucking with kids with disabilities, and this will somehow benefit the company financially
or
3.) Microsoft's ban-software made a mistake, and when they were contacted by the kid.....see #2
So yeah, I'm gonna go with "people like to cheat"
I know it's easy to side with the kid with a disability over the big company, but come on people, use your heads.

Exactly, why do people think because he has a disability he can't be in the wrong here?WanderFreak said:
Uh, my foot doesn't work, now the IRS is being a complete asshole because it *thinks* I didn't pay my taxes, I'm going to take this to the most legitimate news station that NEVER dramatizes stories, Fox News.
Yeah, and people will stop saying "This is news? My God, if this is news then blahblahblah [not so clever pun here] blahalh."Sgt. WantCuddles said:

Because it's Fox News, they make their money off of acting like everyone is a Nazi and war is being declared on Christmas and kids with disabilities are being shot out of a cannon into the fucking sun.Tim Latshaw said:
Didnt read past what you wanted to see ehh,singleplayer achievements/trophies effect nowone but the person who unlocked them,if he cheated online then i see wrong,if he didnt then who did he harm?HentMas said:
Im sorry i dont play rounders.lol or care about lossing any game on any console as its A GAME!
& iv had this view longer than M$ showed they cared about peoples achievements,as long as you aint cheating online you harm nowone,& if you need to cheat to earn an achievements/trophy then go right ahead because the only real loser is the person who cares about a another persons score!
P.S. why take things out of context,bad habit people with no views take
What does Microsoft have to gain from picking on an Autistic kid? He obviously cheated, it's the only explanation that makes any sense.The Bandit said:
I think that's wrong to stick cheater by their name. I don't think he cheated. Autistic children/adults are unbelievably smart & talented. Sure they have difficulty talking & making eye contact with others, but that's why his one release was his Xbox Live. He didn't have to converse with people directly. His mom wouldn't have anything to do with it, and neither would him. Just because Microsoft says he cheated doesn't mean he did. They just want to complain about how someone who can beat their games without cheat codes is bad for business.
I am sticking up for the little guy because SOMEONE has to!! I know what it's like to have a medical disability & be treated like dirt.

Well, he cheated...and consequences come along with that, whether or not hes autistic. Just because your autistic doesn't mean you get a free card for stuff like this. Microsoft doesn't gain anything out of it, but nor should they take some "special consideration" into this just because he is autistic. Thats just silly.danpascooch said:
I'm going to have to assume you quoted me by accident, because that post makes no sense at all to anything I said.danpascooch said:
Hopefully his mother will release the details that Microsoft sent to her. They seem pretty confident that he was cheating and it would be interesting to see their explanation.
Are you quoting to agree with me or debate with me? Because I agree with everything you said.Mr.Pandah said:
Oh alright, then I must have misunderstood your post, I kind of didn't understand the first line, and saw the "not happening buddy" and thought you were saying Microsoft was full of shit.The Bandit said:
Never mind then.
Oh, alright, yeah I was just saying they have nothing to gain from it, as a way of saying there is no way he didn't cheat.Mr.Pandah said:
Wow dude so messed up...first of all you are both wrong.Kalezian said:BlueGlowstick said:
you..........do know that they put Cheater besides ANYONE who modified anything on their 360, right?
not just this one kid or other autistic people?
also, go back and re-read the article and prepare for MIND=BLOWN.....
the kid, DID, cheat.
also, just to pick on something real quick.......
you...sure you want to go with that as your answer?
Autistic kids SOMETIMES are very talented in one isolated area.
For example the kid in your picture seems to be good at drawing cats or legos or something.
But this "savant" nature does not always occur and it depends on the type of autism.
OT: This kid is being treated like anyone else. If he cheated he deserves to be punished. Kudos to Microsoft for not backing down.
If MS said he cheated...well...he probably cheated...
I don't really see why people obsess over achievement points anyway, just seems like the CoD generations pathetic attempt to give their hollow and meaningless games ( and occasionally existences )artificial meaning but hey whatever floats your boat. Back on topic this just looks like another case of the media seeing "autistic child wronged by evil corporation" and running it to the dribbling masses. A cheater is a cheater, i don't care if you have cancer, autism, balding hair or you lost your job: reap what you sow

Why is that wrong, he definitely cheated why cant he have that labelled on his Profile?BlueGlowstick said:
And i believe your thinking along the lines of kids with Aspergers Syndrome, those kids have a hard time socially but are generally good in one area. Or Autistic Savants who are incredibly talented at certain things (see: Kim Peek). REGULAR autistic kids (depending on severity) can go from being able to meld into society pretty easily, to severely handicapped who can barely do anything by themselves.
