    Some dude banned for teamkilling and reddit is angry, seemingly this lad made the game what it is by streaming it. Not the developers for actually making the game.

    Was it Dr Disrespect? Watched him a couple of times, can be pretty funny.

    Got what he deserved if he was at that lark though a permaban seems overkill. Only people I've ever team killed are my mates :D

    The Dr is grand, just try think of him as a bastard wrestler like Ric flair, its all put on.. Saying that i have grown tired of him so dont really watch his streams anymore.. Id watch Grimmz mostly, just a humble fun guy to watch..

    Now Ninja on the other hand is a whiney lil maggot whos voice melts the ears, i dont know how he has such a following.. He's a tantrum throwing lil girl..

    I also watched the vid where the doc got banned, he was actually playing with Grimmz at the time, and just watching grimmz reaction is hilarious, hes totally gob smacked, Link

    But eh, my friends and i have often joked about killing randomers on our team before and taking their loot, but none of us actually done it, it just seems so cruel haha

    Ninja has a big following because he was a pro Halo player, take from that what you will :pac:

    I wouldn't sit through a whole stream of Dr Disrespect but some of the highlights I've seen are hilarious. Grimmz is a good one to watch alright, have watched Summit1G too but find him a bit dull.

    I don't even have this game but I've spent a good few hours watching DrLupo stream it. He's decent and entertaining and not as OTT as some.

    I'd be surprised if Disrespect's ban is permanent

    Developer says no in game skins market.


    180°


    Developer brings in buyable skins. Tbh it was fairly obvious what with the marketplace for skins and the crates.

    Reddit in the next hour or so:

    Thought they were saying from the start there'd be loot crates.

    Completely optional and cosmetic loot boxes are the most harmless way of making shít tonnes of money, of course he was going to go for it. Not a problem in the slightest outside of the people who will whinge about any sort of micro-transactions anyway.

    I doubt it was ever his choice....Korean MMO maker...

    The whingey mate who feels everyone should exit when he dies but not when you die, died exactly 30 seconds into this :D

    We spent 25 minutes being ****ed over by Circle Jesus and when we got to the last circle murdered everyone.

    Cosmetics in loot crates were always part of the plan,if people want to waist their money playing dress up barbie in a tactical shooter,then the developer is doing nothing wrong..

    why anyone would want to be seen baffles me as that is not the purpose of the game
    I tried the where's wally shirt once and obviously stuck out like a sore thumb

    The reaction on reddit is hilariously over the top

    No probs paying for a tux with a Stetson hat...so long as it doesn't effect gameplay. Apart from you standing out like an arsehole. It's when you start paying for guns etc then that's a problem, but I don't think that's happening here

    Yeah I've been getting that too.

    Also, some guy got a 7 day ban for apparently stream sniping. It's all blowing up on Reddit.

    What's stream sniping?

    Watching someone on twitch and killing them ingame using that info. It's pretty difficult given how many games of PUBG are being played at any one moment and the delay in the stream. It's streamers skapegoating their losses tbh.

    Pretty crap reason to ban someone.

    They really need to hire a capable community manager and keep the Irish guy off Twitter.

    He's a PR nightmare.

    yeah that "fyi there wont be free cases" was one of the stupidest tweets I've read.

    He is not tho, and they shouldnt they have TOS and players are being banned for breaking that.

    Regarding stream sniping, streamers should cover their mini map, most do.

    why would they bother?
    I've put about 200 hours into the game, I know the map nearly inside out at this point.
