There’s an old saying that cheaters never win and it seems like Microsoft is putting more substance to that saying when it comes to their Xbox Live and Gamerscore service. A while back they stated something would be done about those who have gamesaved and cheated their way to a high Gamerscore. Today they put the hammer down on those people and even gave them their own Scarlet Letter C.

Take a look at the Gamercard below and you’ll see how these gamers have been marked for all to see their shame. There’s a Gamescore Corrections page to get familiar with the actions taken for those of you who are caught cheating. Here are the basics of what will happen…
A LIVE player who obtained their gamerscore in this abnormal way will:
- Find their gamerscore reset to zero, and
- Be unable to regain all previously earned achievements, and
- Be labeled as a “cheater” for the community to view.
Bravo is all I have to say on this! I’ve never understood the point with obsessing over Gamerscore especially when you cheat to increase it.
