  1. Esports and Licensing concerns IRT Microsoft and Xbox


    First post to this community so please have patience. I've looked through the archives and didn't see anything that specifically addressed my concerns so I figured I'd ask.

    How does a small business owner go about ensuring that they are not infringing on the license requirements if they desire to host an esports tournament using Xbox's or Microsoft games?

    Quick background: I am a small business owner looking to branch out in to the esports market and am trying to ensure I do my due dillengence before investing a ton of money in the space. I am passionate that there a lots of other gamers like myself who would benefit from more local (think intermural) events. I just don't want to have my ideas squashed after I've started down this road. I'd rather try to work the hurdles earlier than later.

    Thanks for any direction or mentorship that can be provided.

    :)

    License Transfer Concerns

    Nothing in the Terms of Use or Code of Conduct explicitly prohibits such an action. I've gone over the Marketplace Theft page on the enforcement website with several Microsoft representatives and they have stated that is fine to do this. In fact, on their
    Digital Rights Management webpage, they list explicit instructions on how to do this.

    License Transfer Concerns

    @AmuricanPatriot thats the thing we also agreed to the code of conduct which has

    Don’t engage in fraud or unauthorized transactions. For example, don't:

    • Lend, transfer, sell, or otherwise provide third parties access to your accounts or Gamertags
    • Access or attempt to access accounts that you do not own
    • Purchase memberships, games, gift cards, account credit, or content from unauthorized parties
    • Attempt to use or share fraudulent methods for getting memberships, games, gift cards, account credit, content, or hardware
    • Use your account to trade services or in-game content for memberships, games, gift cards, account credit, or content
    • Resell or redistribute any part of Xbox Live


    This would be considered fraud since youd be attempting to get access to content you did not pay for

    Also phone support arent usually the best people to go do with what will or wont get you banned since they have nothing to do with bannings

    In short... yes, you would both get banned.

    What you are describing is called Marketplace Theft and is against the ToU and CoC of the Live service that was agreed to upon creation of the account.

    If caught doing something like this you not only risk having your gamertag(s) banned but also the possibility of having the console(s) involved banned as well.

    It's best to purchase your own copy of the game.
