Cannot confirm the validity of said image.

What? So this was an intentional cucking?

No idea.

I'm tempted to try asking support myself

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
A while ago when my account was compromised, and some mexican bought a shit-ton of games on it. Fortunately the charges were reversed and refunded, and XBL was able to get my account back and add a few M$ Points (I think it was 1600 and a free month of Live).

What they forgot to do however, was remove the games from my purchase history. It still thought I'd "bought" them after the refund, so I waited a few months (in case MS noticed and tried to fix the problem and/or think I'd faked the account compromise),  and then downloaded them. Most were crap arcade games to be fair, but L4D was nice.

Also, they've fixed it up the glitch or it wasn't working on the UK site, says it's £89 here.

Damn. That's quite a story. At least you got some free games from it.

Even funnier was that after I initially fought the guy to get my account back (I found out about it while I was playing, as apparently I'd "signed on at another location", and so recovered my account and changed the password, cancelled cards and all that), he then got on his own account and messaged me asking for the account back.

Stupid Mexican'ts.

In all likelihood you won't have your stuff taken away from you. This has happened many times over the past decade and MS just eats the cost every time.

They ate the cost of the Fable 3 fuckup that happened a couple months after launch, they'll probably eat this one too.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
Yeah, hundreds of dollars lost due to a small time frame of free Fallout.

Dramtizing to both Microsoft and Bethesda.

Was that an actual fuck up? I know it became free, but then they said it was the start of their GWG program

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-10-fable-3-is-free-from-xbox-com-right-now (funnily this article was posted three years ago today, so having Fallout and Fable fuck up around the same time is weird)

There was a fuck up before that when the game had only been out for a few months. All the DLC for it was free as well during that time period. During GWG the Fable 3 DLC was not free.

There have also been a few arcade games that have had this happen to them.

Hah. Wow. That's a massive fuck up. I'm lucky that I've never been banned from Xbox. At least they compensated for you.
It was a big thing when I did it. I'm surprised they didn't detect the bullshit.

If they ever knew what I did, they would reset my gamerscore to zero and have my zone say "Cheater" but since this was on Games for Windows Live, they have no proof.
No I'm talking about when Minecraft first released on the 360. I was still on xbox

No, the only time people were banned for downloading something free was when people changed their regions to download games that were free in certain countries but cost money in their own.

It only got rid of any main games from the digital deluxe. If you got the season pass it stays there.
