A notorious cheater from Call of Duty: Warzone was recently made an official partner of Facebook Gaming despite his misdeeds. It was only after multiple protests from the content creator community that Facebook relented and removed the villain. Find out here what exactly happened.
What happened? Recently, the page of “Hacks gaming 2” appeared on the official partners page of Facebook Gaming. Such official partnerships with the streaming service Facebook Gaming are among the highest honors a content creator can achieve. For many platforms, it is only with a partnership that one can truly earn money from streaming.
In the case of Hacks gaming 2, this honor appears to have been bestowed upon a notorious cheater. This in turn caused quite a stir in the community and cast a shadow on Facebook Gaming.
Content creators are appalled by partnership with cheater
What is the problem with Hacks gaming 2: When the news of the partnership with Hacks gaming 2 broke, content creator BeanBolt quickly stepped in. Hacks gaming 2 is a notorious cheater who also engages in streaming sniping and has been noted for toxic behavior.
Therefore, BeanBolt brought the situation to the attention of Facebook Gaming via Twitter:
What has become of Facebook? The biggest hacker and well-known stream sniper got a partnership? Wow!
Shortly thereafter, another streamer named Jeff Leach spoke up:
Hey FacebookGaming,
Why does a hacking, toxic stream sniper get a partnership? We love you guys…but this is an insult to the platform and to every streamer who is trying hard for a partnership.
You are teaching young viewers that they are rewarded for behaving toxically, hacking, and cheating.
How did the matter progress? In fact, Facebook took this matter seriously and seemingly came to realize that Hacks gaming 2 was not a good choice for an official partnership. The streamer quickly disappeared from the partner list.
After all, cheaters in games like Warzone are so hated that even their own team members would rather sink them in the sea than enjoy an advantage with their help.
Was that the end of the story? Not at all, because although Hacks gaming 2 was no longer listed as a partner, he was still able to monetize his content via Facebook and still had over 9,000 followers.
This led to further anger from other streamers, and only then did Facebook put an end to the situation and completely banned the user Hacks Gaming 2 from the platform.
Thus, the ugly episode regarding the partnership with a cheater on Facebook Gaming came to an end. Despite such occurrences, it seems that Facebook Gaming still has its advantages and fans, even amid tough competition from Twitch and others. Renowned livestreamer Disguised Toast still raves about why streaming on Facebook is better than on Twitch.
