The developers of the pirate online game Sea of Thieves wanted to talk about the pets that will be introduced soon in a livestream. However, a little monkey caused some chaos.
What happened in the livestream? The team behind Sea of Thieves wanted to share a bit more about the pet system that will soon be introduced in the online game. During this, a little monkey provided some entertainment.
The capuchin monkey Antonio took a special liking to video manager Jon McFarlane. The others were feeding the animal mealworms when it suddenly jumped onto McFarlane and vomited on his shirt and also in his face.
A monkey becomes a star
How did the team react? Jon McFarlane found the situation amusing and laughed. The others also started laughing. McFarlane jokingly mentioned that fortunately he was wearing a gray shirt that day.
Later, the monkey even made a mess on McFarlane, which he apparently did not notice at all.
What was behind this? It seemed that everyone except McFarlane knew that something like this would happen and were just waiting for it. One developer even explained that they had expected something exactly like that.
Community wishes for vomiting pets
Why was the monkey present? The livestream was about the pets that players will soon be able to acquire in Sea of Thieves through an update. This includes parrots and also monkeys. After all, that is part of being a true pirate.
The capuchin monkey Antonio was simply meant to provide entertainment, which it certainly achieved with its vomiting episode.
How do players react to the situation? On Reddit, the livestream is a hot topic. Now the community naturally wishes that animals in the game could also vomit and urges the developers to introduce a corresponding emote with the pet system.
Additionally, players wish for a new achievement for the successful Sea of Thieves: The “MacFarlane Dilemma.” This should be earned when a pet in the game vomits on the character.
