SOS is an upcoming survival battle royale game where players play together and against each other. The famous rapper Snoop Dogg participated, streaming SOS on Twitch and causing quite a stir as he apparently smoked weed. But will he get in trouble with Twitch for that?
In SOS, 16 players must retrieve an artifact from an island overrun by monsters within 30 minutes. In the end, only 3 players can find a place in the rescue helicopter. Therefore, players need to eliminate enough competitors early on while still completing the mission.
An exciting mix of coop and PvP. Furthermore, the game is designed for streaming. Viewers are supposed to have a say in where goodies or traps are placed for the players.
To promote the game further, the developers managed to get the legendary rapper Snoop Dogg for a live stream, alongside well-known streamers. However, he had his own ideas about “gaming”.
Snoop Dogg Smoking on Twitch – Is That Allowed?
During the stream, which had over 80,000 viewers on Twitch, Snoop repeatedly lit a fat joint and casually smoked weed in front of the camera. Smoking is nothing new for Snoop; he is rarely seen without a blunt.
However, some users on Reddit were immediately concerned and wondered if Snoop would get in trouble for it. After all, the streaming platform Twitch is known for banning users for drug use and excessive alcohol consumption in front of the camera.
Legal is Legal
However, the consumption and sale of marijuana has been legal in Snoop’s hometown California since January 1, 2018. And according to Twitch rules, it is okay to consume legal drugs live in the respective location.
However, a warning is required, and Twitch strongly advises every streamer against consuming intoxicating substances during the stream. But would Snoop have refrained from smoking if it were prohibited? Probably not!
After all, he has openly smoked his herb even when it was not allowed.
Snoop Dogg Can Game Without Hands!
Besides smoking, some players had a problem with the fact that Snoop Dogg apparently was not really playing! Rather, he sat in front of the camera for an hour, commented on the game, smoked weed with one hand and typed on his phone with the other hand.
Additionally, there seemed to be another person sitting next to him, but outside the camera, playing. Snoop was merely contributing comments to the gameplay.
This did not sit well with every viewer. On Reddit, some users complained that Snoop seemed to have been bought to promote a game. Furthermore, he did not even try to hide his “fake play”.
Others, however, celebrated Snoop’s relaxed style and found it cool that he did not care at all whether his fake gaming was noticed or not. Rather, some users joked that Snoop had achieved a transcendent level of existence through his excessive marijuana consumption and could thus game without a keyboard and mouse.
What do you think of Snoop’s action? Embarrassing and terrible or funny?
