The ban system of Dead by Daylight is in effect. The toxic and hated streamer “Ochido” has faced the consequences.
Just a few days ago, Dead by Daylight announced that players can now also be banned on the consoles PS4 and Xbox One. This was laughed off by the community, as they simply did not believe the developers. But now there is solid evidence: the controversial streamer and YouTuber “Ochido” has been banned.
Who is Ochido? The YouTuber and streamer Ochido is considered a prime example in the Dead by Daylight community of everything that’s wrong with the game.
Whenever there was a bug, he massively exploited it and processed it in videos. His fellow players or opponents often suffered, as they could no longer participate in any “normal” games. Furthermore, he repeatedly caused a disconnect to lower his own rank so that he could compete against weaker players – this is also forbidden.
In addition, he repeatedly insults his fellow players or the game’s developers in his videos and mocks them sharply.
However, one must also say that Ochido had quite a large fan base who liked his insulting and toxic behavior or simply enjoyed his compilations of the “funniest moments in Dead by Daylight” – a very “special” kind of humor (i.e., annoying).
After Ochido had already been banned multiple times on PC due to his behavior, he switched to the console version of Dead by Daylight because there was no functioning ban system there. He felt safe.
That has now changed: On the very first day after the introduction of a ban system, Ochido was also banned on the PS4.
Ochido begs the developer for mercy: Just a few hours after the incident, Ochido appeared in the Twitch stream of Mathieu Cote, the Game Director of Dead by Daylight. There he cheered with “Twitch Bits” to get the developer’s attention and pleaded to be unbanned.
Cote responded that it must be an important thing for him, but he is having his day off today and will not be dealing with it – he did not want to have that discussion right here and now.
That Ochido is trying this is logical – as Dead by Daylight is likely a significant source of income for him. After all, Ochido has over 500,000 subscribers, most of whom are due to his videos about Dead by Daylight. Without being able to play the game, he is likely to lose a lot of income.
Was the ban justified? Ochido claims that he has not used any major exploits for about 6-7 months and has also “not shown the developers in his videos” any longer.
He and some of his fans find the ban unjustified, as there have been no serious offenses at least in recent times. The ban was likely carried out based on reports that were made before the ban system came into effect. Players could have reported others before, but it had no effect on consoles.
The community is excited: At least on Reddit, the players of Dead by Daylight are thrilled. Ochido was considered one of the most toxic players who cast a bad light on Dead by Daylight and the entire community. As a result, numerous memes are making their way into the DbD subreddit, and the ban is being celebrated.
Do you know Ochido and his videos? Is it a good decision to ban such players? Or is a YouTuber with so many subscribers important for a game, even if he behaves toxically?
