Rampant Quitters are Receiving Two Year Bans in Gears 5 By Sean Carey, 14 Oct 2019 FollowtopicsGears 5Gears of WarXbox Game StudiosGames with GoldXbox Game PassThird Person ShooterSean Carey Gears 5 has several multiplayer modes where teamwork plays a key factor. Being just one player down puts a team at a significant disadvantage. The Coalition is now trying to stamp out "rampant quitters" by handing out heavy suspensions — some being almost two years long. Reddit user NoLifeDegenerate shared a screenshot showing he had been banned from Gears 5's multiplayer for a whopping 640 days. In his post, it says, "no warning whatsoever. Nice job, assholes. Can't even implement quit penalties without fucking it up." NoLifeDegenerate clearly thought this was a mistake. However, director of communications at Microsoft for Gears of War, Dana Sissons, responded to a tweet about the suspension and clarified that the account used was a serial quitter — quitting 18 out of 21 matches played in Escalation mode in the last day alone. The Coalition has since put out a tweet stating that the bans are for players that have been consistently quitting multiplayer matches. The hefty bans were for prior behaviour, but now it looks like rampant quitters have been given one final chance with The Coalition un-banning impacted players. However, these players are now just "one quit away from suspension."Source: SegementNextMore Gears 5 stories: Xbox Game Pass Core will feature 36 games at launch Microsoft confirms Xbox Game Pass Core and the end of Games with Gold Xbox brings first game to GeForce Now as part of 10-year Nvidia pledge Gears of War Forums officially shutting down in favour of Discord and other social media New Gears of War game in development, job listing suggests Xbox One Written by Sean CareyAvid Xbox and achievement fan, Sean has committed to playing the best RPGs, racing games, and first-person shooters Xbox Game Pass and his precious free time will allow.
