The currently most successful Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel has been banned from the role-playing server “No Pixel” in GTA 5 for the 4th time this weekend. Following the new ban, he seems pretty down, as this one lasts for 30 days. We will tell you on MeinMMO why xQc has been banned again and when he will be back.
This is why xQc is banned for the 4th time: This time, there is no clear singular incident for which xQc is being punished, unlike when he shot two cops from a prison cell. The current most successful streamer in the world, xQc, states in a stream: There are 3 reasons for the renewed ban from the GTA 5 server “No Pixel 3.0”.
xQc threatens streamer with getting him banned from the server
He then lists 3 minor offenses, which he himself says are actually ridiculous trivialities. The viewers would surely think he is joking, as one cannot possibly get banned for such minor issues:
- He talked about a streamer who played a policeman and arrested him. xQc threatened him, saying he would “lose his job” and “he would never catch the train again.” This is seen as a threat that he, as a famous streamer, will ensure that the cop gets banned from the server and can no longer participate in “No Pixel.” A “train ticket” is a reference to the chance of getting onto the server.
- xQc dropped a gun when he was already dead – this is against the role-playing rules that are taken very seriously at “No Pixel”.
- xQc exploited “Scuff” with vehicles – this is a known glitch in GTA 5.
Here you can see the conversation with the police. “Not getting a train ticket anymore” alludes to the possibility of logging into No Pixel again.
xQc will not appeal the ban, remains banned for 30 days
This is xQc’s view: He says that these are all “trivial accusations,” actually ridiculous offenses.
However, he has now come to terms with being banned for these alleged offenses. The people making these decisions are clearly biased against him.
xQc therefore will not appeal the ban and will submit to his fate. He apparently has concluded his time with “No Pixel” and no longer wants to play it.
The Twitch clip shows the incident with the car:
When could xQc play GTA 5 No Pixel again? The ban lasts 30 days – it would expire on May 18.
This is the first ban with a clear time limit that xQc has received. He previously received 3 “perma-bans”, which were always lifted after a week. Just with the last ban, xQc had repeatedly complained and looked forward to a lifting to be able to play on No Pixel again.
This time, however, he seems to accept the 30-day ban.
This is how it is being discussed: On reddit, the offenses are being discussed:
One says that these “minor offenses” are not as minor as xQc portrays. All 3 incidents are clearly against the rules and xQc wanted to gain an advantage through exploits or tricks. It is acknowledged that the “Scuff” glitch is used by many, but the other two issues are clearly ban-worthy.
The 30-day ban is seen as the end for xQc, believes another reddit user. Because the hype around GTA 5 “No Pixel” is fading on Twitch. If xQc now starts a different game, he will surely not return.
And every Monday greets the ban of the number 1 streamer on Twitch
What does the news say? The odd thing about the news is that xQc had doubled his viewer hours on Twitch last week when he was allowed to play GTA 5, and was again by far the largest streamer on Twitch. Also, GTA 5 gained a lot with xQc on the server and was by far the hottest game on Twitch.
In the week after his last ban, xQc’s viewer hours dropped significantly, and GTA 5 lost 10% of its viewer hours.
The same situation that xQc dominated Twitch we had two weeks ago already – before xQc was banned, he was the largest streamer with GTA 5.
The ban of xQc is particularly interesting because xQc has so much success with GTA 5 “No Pixel” and the game also benefits from his wild escapades, but evidently, this business relationship just doesn’t work:
Streamer loses spot 1 on Twitch because he is even too toxic for GTA 5
