Microsoft Bans Xbox Live Avatar Weapons

Microsoft has decided to start the new year by removing all "gun-like" items from the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace, Epic Game's community manager revealed.

The new policy will take effect starting January 1^st, 2012. Items that have been bought prior to that date will remain unaffected. The policy applies to avatar weapons only and it doesn't affect in-game items and DLCs.

Microsoft didn't comment or give reasons for the weird policy change.
