The length of the ban has caused a split in the gaming community, with many leaping to the defence of Jarvis Kaye.įans have started using #FreeJarvis and it is currently trending on Twitter, pointing out that many people have done similar things, but with much smaller bans. 'I'm not trying to find a quick road out but being banned forever is just – a lifetime ban – is just, I just didn't this would happen.' Epic, I know I have to take accountability for my actions and I'm going to do my best to accept any punishment that comes my way. Players are now waiting for Epic Games‘ response to Kaye’s apology and the clashing views regarding his lifetime ban from Fortnite.He added: 'Epic Games you know I know how big of a mistake I've made and I'm truly like so sorry. It may also not be a good message for a content creator to show videos using cheats, as it may attract others to use such software, ruining the experience for other players whether in competitive modes or not. Epic Games has previously sued YouTubers for promoting hacking software in their Fortnite videos, and it appears that the developer is taking the same hard stance against Kaye. However, there are some players who claim that Kaye should not get special treatment just because of his status as a popular content creator and streamer. In comparison, the punishment against Kaye may seem too harsh, especially since the aimbot was used in a non-competitive match. The pair was still able to qualify and participate in the Fortnite World Cup Duos Finals. The main argument against Kaye’s permanent ban is that two professional players, Xxif and Ronaldo, were found cheating in the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers, and all they got was a two-week ban from competitive play. It looks like Kaye’s run with Fortnite will not end without a fight though, as numerous players have voiced their support for the FaZe Clan member, giving rise to the hashtag #FreeJarvis. I love all of you who still support me, this is not the end. I’m going to take accountability for my actions and I understand completely why this has happened, I just wish I had known how severe the consequences were at the time and I would have never thought about doing it. Kaye also published a tweet about the incident, showing that he remains thankful for how Fortnite changed his life despite what happened. It didn’t even cross my mind I could be banned for life from Fortnite for this,” Kaye said, adding that he did not use the aimbots in a competitive mode. “All I was thinking about while making those videos is how entertaining and like interesting these videos would be for you guys to watch.
