    Is Xbox using our accounts to advertise games on their platform or is it a bug?


    When I am offline and not playing anything my status on other consoles will say I am playing something random, for example my son told me it showed me playing GTA5 and thats not even installed on any consoles or computers in the house right now so it's impossible.

    A few days ago it said I was playing Call of Duty MW3 when the last game had been 6 hours or so before and was something totally different, DC Universe Online.

    I have checked my sign-in activity and nothing dodgy is shown, it's all me. I have also changed password but it appears to still be happening.

    So are our accounts being used as a way to advertise games we may have played before to make them appear to appear popular and get people to buy them or is this a bug?

    Multi platform game advertising

    ^

    I agree.

    .

    I also don't really care myself... I don't get information about games from watching ads, I tend to see them in EB or talk to the guys there, along with seeing articles about them on the net.

    Multi platform game advertising

    Well every game commercial you see for the 360 is multiplatform. They don't have any exclusives except Gears, Forza and Halo. It doesn't bother me. I read reviews on multiplat games and if some are better on PS3, I get them for that and vice-versa.

    If Microsoft is the one footing the bill for a Call of Duty ad, then of course they aren't going to name their competitor in the commercial.

    Fortnite Cross platform

    This is just stupid! Why can't our kids join cross platform parties? This has nothing to do with their age. This is clearly a bug.

    Exactly, it's like that in order to be on the xbox platform, they have to change their game code for it to work.

    That makes no sense at all that a dev studio should drastically change its game code just to be able to work on a particular platform at the risk of creating bugs for their customer base

    You would think that Microsoft would work hard to make it simple for developer in order to promote the xbox live platform whereas in fact it is not, and that it all comes down to "it's the fault of the dev of the game that it doesnt work on xbox live. It's their job now to fix the fact that it works on all other platform but not ours !!!!"

    And as the previous poster said, we know you can't do anything about it, but at least, if you want to sell us this story, make it believable.
