We've been paying so much attention to SOPA that we forgot to look out for the smaller, more annoying versions of ourselves. On January 1, Xbox Live avatars will lose the right to wield new gun-like items. That's right, they can hold flowers and blow bubbles, but heaven forbid one of them pull out a laser blaster or a Gears of War lancer. According to Epic Games' community manager Raczilla's forum post "Starting on Jan. 1, 2012, the Lancer and Hammerburst avatar items will no longer be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. If you’ve purchased the items prior to Jan. 1, you will be able to keep them. A new policy goes into effect for all gun-like avatar items on the Marketplace, so get them while they’re hot."


All I can say about this is two thumbs down. :n: No :n:

Oh god. I'd honestly love to the reasoning behind this choice. I'm tempted to go buy gun items even though I'm rarely on my Xbox.

I don't play on my 360 enough to want to hack it. I'd just over 1100 points so bought the item anyway as I'll never use the points. My Xbox is pretty much used just for Halo.

I've see worse on the advertisements on the dashboard. I've seen explosions, car crashes, violence, and sexual innuendos, yet I can't buy a toy gun for my avatar. Ok that makes sense.No

Wow, whats the big ****ing deal? If a kid has someone added who has it chances are that they themselves play shooter games too.
