Microsoft is currently âbrainstormingâ ideas on how to reward well-behaved Xbox Live players. In other words, after a decade of policing Xbox Liveâs worst offenders, theyâre going to see if the carrot works better than the stick.
Microsoftâs Frank Savage said at a GDC panel earlier today that the company is going to try and âactively encourage [players] to be betterâ. No idea yet on just what these rewards would be, or how theyâd be implemented, but itâs an interesting step.
I can see Microsoftâs point â bigotry, immaturity and hostility are Xbox Live sterotypes the company must surely want to be rid of â but are we really at the stage where weâre rewarding grown humans for not being assholes?
