# The Account Deletion

Less than 24 hours after the thread, Stirrup deactivated his X account. A source at Xbox told PC Gamer it was the sheer volume of replies — not disciplinary action. As of October 20, Microsoft has issued no official response and no discipline has been reported: the posts stand as one employee's personal view.

## Key facts

- The X account was deactivated on October 19, under a day after the thread began.
- A source at Xbox told PC Gamer the deactivation was due to the volume of replies, not any disciplinary action.
- No Microsoft or Xbox official response has been reported as of October 20, 2026; outlets note the "hundreds at Xbox use AI" claim is unverified even by GamesRadar+.
