Maybe it was not a critical bug?

well if being able to mbypass security and log in to another person's account is not a critical bug, what is then? =)

Imagine the stuff you can do messing with someone else's xbox live acct

Quite true. I don't own an xbox so I can't say for sure but maybe it was access to the gaming profile that excluded access to sensitive details like credit card details.

Then again, 5y/o or not, why would I complain about $50?

why 50 dollars only?

because it was not considered as critical and also every bug found has to be part of its scope/guidelines for it to receive a monetary reward. for this case, a 50-dollar cash reward plus games in exchange for a xbox bug (not part of the scope) was just a form of a "thank you"

not critical / not serious vulnerability = no sensitive details

Dili ni tinuod

maybe yes, maybe no
