Microsoft Puts the Kibosh On Kinect Sex Game Plans

Posted by Soulskill on from the losing-battle dept.

theodp writes "Microsoft's Kinect has been out for less than two months and already there's an adult company looking to produce a 3-D sex game for the Xbox 360 console. But Microsoft immediately shot down any speculation that the game will pass the certification process. 'This isn't the first example of a technology being used in ways not intended by its manufacturer, and it won't be the last,' a Microsoft spokesman said in a statement. 'Microsoft did not authorize or license its technology for this use. Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect.'"

    Make the game for PC/Mac/Linux.. the Kinect just plugs right in.

    Except that ThriXXX is actually free to make and market this game. It just won't be certified.

  3. The game is not even being developed for the 360 by brunes69 · · Score: 5, Informative

    MS can not stop the development of this game since it is not, nor has it ever been, made for the 360. The game is made for the PC using the open Kinect drivers available everywhere on the web.

  4. I thought ThriXXX was releasing it... by ehrichweiss · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...for the PC, not the Xbox. I was pretty certain that was incredibly clear...did they announce something I'm unaware of?
