A gamer in Brazil won a legal battle against Microsoft after his Xbox account was hacked and suspended, with support telling him he needed to re-purchase all his digital games. The Redditor, Ordo_Liberal, took Microsoft to court in Brazil, where he used a public defender at no charge. The court ordered Xbox to restore the gamer's account within 15 days and pay approximately $400 in compensation for moral damages. Microsoft reportedly showed up with 12 lawyers but offered no settlement. The gamer stated that if Microsoft fails to comply within 15 days, the state could start a criminal case for ignoring a court ruling.
