In particular, players Damion "XXiF" Cook and Ronald "Ronaldo" Mach were caught allegedly colluding with other players to win in the World Cup Qualifiers. While the winnings went to players that didn’t cheat, there were at least a handful of cases in which players were found to be engaging in less-than-honorable practices during the high-profile event. Many in the community have brought up the Fortnite World Cup. įor many in the Fortnite community, it’s not so cut and dry, and a big part of that is in how Epic treated cheaters in the past.
"When people use aimbots or other cheat technologies to gain an unfair advantage, they ruin games for people who are playing fairly." Despite Epic's heavy-handed judgement, there's question to whether or not it's consistent going back to the XXiF and Ronaldo debacle at the Fortnite World Cup. "We have a zero tolerance policy for the usage of cheat software," an Epic Games spokesperson told TMZ. In a statement obtained by TMZ Sports, whether or not Jarvis is sorry, he engaged in cheating and Epic had no leeway for it. I just want to urge you guys to review those terms and services and stuff so nothing like this could ever happen to you.”Īs Jarvis fights back tears, it’s pretty clear he didn’t believe he could face such drastic consequences for engaging in cheating even in recreational games. I should have paid more attention to the community rules and TOS of Fortnite. Cheating in anything is just terrible… It’s just such a dumb thing to do. “Obviously this was a huge mistake and completely wrong on my end,” Jarvis said in the video.
Jarvis mentions that he had no idea he could be banned in such a way and, while he takes responsibility for the mistakes he made by using cheats even in recreational play, he also posits his explanation as a cautionary tale for other players. You can see Kaye’s entire confession and explanation of the situation in the video below. This resulted in Epic Games’ decision to not only ban Jarvis from Fortnite, but also ban him from future competitive events and even disallow him from creating content centered on the game. According to Jarvis, he was caught using aimbot software in a recreational game (which is to say, outside of competitive settings) on an alternate account. On November 3, 2019, Jarvis Kaye posted a video on his YouTube account laying out what had happened on the table. That’s a fact, but consistency may be just as important, and that’s an issue Fortnite and Epic Games are facing in regard to a recent decision to ban FaZe Clan pro Fortnite player and YouTuber Jarvis “Jarvis” Kaye for using aimbot software in a recreational game. When it comes to competitive gaming, the line has to be drawn when it comes to cheating.
