Microsoft encourages potato aim on Xbox

Microsoft has updated their service agreement and Code of Conduct with a new Community Standards for Xbox site.The page breaks down the normal legal jargon into easy-to-parse text for gamers. Most of it is generally good advice like “win or lose, be a good sport,” but there’s a real head-scratcher in the examples of acceptable trash talk.

“That was some serious potato aim. Get wrecked.”

I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of having “potato aim” by anyone in an online game, but I don’t think my life will be complete without someone legitimately yelling that at me. It would be so much nicer than the things I have had hurled my way.
