THE Xbox 360 has a censorship problem. It's a subject that's open for debate because there are no absolute rights and wrongs. We have had these debates here before because in mobile also, Microsoft censors sex, just like Apple. Linux is more liberal by comparison.
It seems that Zombie Cows’ ‘Privates’ XBLA game was not approved due to it’s sexual nature.
“Just how prudent is Microsoft really?”Microsoft is still trying to recover from the "Fort Gay" PR disaster. As one article puts it, "the real question is, why is the word Gay so offensive in the first place? Even if it hadn't been a real town, would suspending Moore's account have made sense? Does this demonstrate homophobia on the part of Microsoft, or just an ill-thought out policy? What do you think?"
Homophobia at Microsoft is nothing new, but as part of damage control Microsoft has no choice but to apologise:
Microsoft (NASD: MSFT) is apologizing to a town in West Virginia, after a 26-year-old gamer from a town called Fort Gay was suspended from its Xbox Live online game service because of the town's name, the Associated Press reported.
