@coinstalgia: A streamer claims Microsoft deleted his decades old account after it was compromised, even after he let them know he was the owner. With his account gone, so is his library of games that he spent thousands of euros on, along with his son’s baby pictures. Lots of news with Microsoft going on rn, honestly hysterical. #microsoft #xbox #Tech #gamingnews
Microsoft: no worries, just type the verification code we sent to the phone number you had 20 years ago! (No you can’t change it)

Steam would turn the hackers account game into trojan viruses before they’d delete your account like this

People never learn. Cloud means if someone turns it off your shit is gone. Cloud can be fine for short term but have some smarts and run your own backups

That’s why you shouldn’t ever trust in any cloud service. I have all my data stored in multiple external drives..

For anyone who wants to avoid the possibility of this happening get a mini data server or even just a HDD hub and save your data there

Unfortunately, for you it’s too late. So sorry about that. For the rest of the world: GET A NAS! Seamless integration with your phone’s pictures and films. And you’re the keeper of your own precious memories.

I saw another post about this, he contacted his countries consumer protection they have and they took Microsoft to court, and Microsoft showed up with 12 lawyers, but still lost the lawsuit and was forced to fix his account (with if I'm not mistaken, $400 in damages). Unfortunately our consumer protection isn't that great here in America, so we might not be as lucky in the lawsuit as he was.

I learned a long time ago not to trust anyone's platform or servers. Sadly I'm too poor to self-host, but if I can backup anything I constantly export data. Especially after seeing YouTube videos I loved being deleted out of nowhere
