Segnaliamo che Microsoft ha da poco modificato le proprie condizioni di utilizzo delle proprie piattaforme, in modo particolare riguardo al periodo di inattività del proprio account.
La compagnia americana dichiara così che potrà procedere nel cancellare tutti quegli account (come quelli che utilizzare per Xbox Live) che sono considerati inattivi da due anni.
Un account, per essere considerato inattivo, dovrebbe non aver ricevuto in quel certo periodo di tempo alcun login da parte dell’utente, da qualsiasi piattaforma o dispositivo.
Dunque, per essere ben sicuri e non rischiare di vedere il proprio profilo perso per sempre, vi basterà effettuare il login ogni tanto, da qualsiasi postazione, in modo particolare non a una distanza di due anni tra un login e l’altro.
Oltre al semplice accesso al proprio account, sono valide per l’attività del profilo anche operazioni come gli acquisti, le sottoscrizioni attive (fin tanto che avete un abbonamento attivato il vostro account sarà considerato attivo), pubblicazione di giochi sullo store, un bilancio con crediti ancora non spesi e un account di famiglia collegato a un altro account attivo.
Qui sotto trovate tutto il testo in lingua originale riguardante questa modifica dei termini di servizio.

This Microsoft account activity policy describes when Microsoft may close your account due to account inactivity. You may choose to close your Microsoft account at any time on the Microsoft account management website and Microsoft may close your account for other reasons as permitted under the Microsoft Services Agreement (“MSA”).
Microsoft account activity policy:Under the MSA, you must use your Microsoft account to keep it “active.” Microsoft reserves the right to close all “inactive” Microsoft accounts. Please see section (4)(a)(iv)(2) of the MSA for the consequences of a closed Microsoft account. Except as provided below, you must sign in to your Microsoft account at least once in a two-yearperiod to keep your account active. If you don’t sign in during this time, Microsoft will consider your account to be inactive.
Exceptions: The activities below are exceptions that will result in Microsoft extending your account’s active status, even if you have not otherwise signed in to your Microsoft account within a two-year period.
- Purchases.If you have used your Microsoft account to purchase, or to redeem or access a purchase of, a current Microsoft product or service, your Microsoft account will remain active and Microsoft will not close your account due to inactivity. Note, this does not apply to gift cards, certifications or subscription-based purchases or services.
- Subscriptions. Your Microsoft account will continue to remain active for so long as you have an active Microsoft subscription associated with your Microsoft account. Following the expiration or termination of the subscription, you must sign in to your Microsoft account at least once in a two-year period to keep your account active.
- Publishing to the Microsoft Store.If you have used your Microsoft account to publish applications or games (including game DLCs) to the Microsoft Store or to register for a Microsoft Partner Center account, your Microsoft account will remain active and Microsoft will not close your account due to inactivity.
- Certifications.If you earn a certification from Microsoft using your Microsoft account, your Microsoft account will remain active and Microsoft will not close your account due to inactivity.
- Account Balance.Your Microsoft account will continue to remain active for so long as you have an unspent balance in your Microsoft account (e.g. from a Microsoft gift card or a credit from Microsoft). If you live in a jurisdiction where gift cards are considered “unclaimed property,” Microsoft will, pursuant to local law, escheat the unspent balance associated with your Microsoft gift card.
- Accounts Payable.Your Microsoft account will continue to remain active for so long as there is an amount owed to you by Microsoft associated with your Microsoft account (e.g. amounts due to you from Microsoft Payment Central).
- Family Accounts.If you have an inactive Microsoft account that has granted consent for an active Microsoft account belonging to a minor, Microsoft will not close your Microsoft account due to your inactivity. Your inactive Microsoft account will be kept open by Microsoft until the minor’s account (i) is deemed inactive and closed by Microsoft, (ii) is closed by you, or (iii) transitions into a standard Microsoft account when the minor reaches the requisite age of majority in their region.
- Legal Requirementsor as otherwise provided by Microsoft.Notwithstanding the foregoing, Microsoft reserves the right to maintain your account status as active, or not to close an inactive account, as required by applicable law or regulation, or as otherwise provided by Microsoft to you.
Your Current Activity Status: You may always review the activity status of your Microsoft account by navigating to the Microsoft account management website. Your activity status will show you how frequently you need to sign in to your account to prevent your account from being deemed inactive. Please note that it may take up to thirty (30) days for any recent purchases or other account activity to be reflected in your activity status.
Cosa ne pensa di questa decisione da parte del colosso di Redmond? La compagnia ha anche annunciato l’arrivo di alcuni sistemi per contrastare la tossicità di certi utenti su Xbox Live.
