[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]So MS are losing $10 million each month?Actually, they were losing on the modders not paying for games, so this is just cutting the losses.Don't allow pirates to keep doing what they do just so they can draw Live subscription, cut 'em off and teach 'em a lesson.That lesson is, if you want to play pirate games with impunity, buy a PC[/citation]
Actually, a ban doesn't mean that your account is going to stop being charged. Since you have not initiated the cancelation MS can assume that you will purchase a new console and use the live account under the unmodded console. If you have been banned and do not plan to return anytime soon, save yourself the trouble and cancel the subscription.
