In July 2023, Bungie banned the then largest Twitch streamer of their shooter Destiny 2. Luis, known as Lachegga, was outraged by the ban and said he was only banned because he had expressed so much criticism of the loot shooter. What is he doing today?
This was the ban back then: In 2023, Lachegga was the largest German Twitch streamer for Destiny 2 with around 150 viewers, having surpassed Nexxoss Gaming, who had been the largest German-speaking Twitch streamer for Destiny 2 for many years.
But Bungie banned Lachegga on July 1. Luis found the ban completely inappropriate and claimed that the German community manager had banned him personally because he was simply too critical. Bungie would let anything pass for anyone, even allowing cheaters free reign, but because he expressed such critical views, Bungie would specifically ban him and other critics.
Luis asked Bungie if he could be unbanned. However, he received no response and felt that he was not treated appropriately:
To put this into perspective: One of the most active German content creators, who has been active on Twitch for 7 years – regardless of the state of the game – pulls in at least 100 to 150 viewers on a normal day, while the rest are around 20 or 30. On good days over 200, during special events 700, and a week goes by without a response.
Toxic behavior in PvP will likely be the downfall of streamers
Why was he really banned? As we researched at MeinMMO, Luis had built an extremely toxic community and had said some things in Twitch streams that would lead to immediate and permanent bans in other games.
It was obvious that Luis was banned for toxic behavior:
Destiny gone – Streaming career gone
How has Luis fared since the ban? In 2023, Luis’s viewer numbers decreased significantly after the ban from Destiny in the second half of the year:
- While he averaged 150 viewers in Destiny 2
- He could not entertain as many viewers in Valorant (42 viewers) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (24 viewers)
In 2024, Luis also struggled to establish himself on Twitch without Destiny 2. Viewer numbers dropped by 80% – the streams became fewer. Instead of over 2,000 hours like in 2023, he was only active on Twitch for about 750 hours in 2024.
In October 2024, Luis almost completely gave up streaming on Twitch; since then, he has only had one single stream: On January 24, 2025, he showcased DRAGON BALL to an average of 8 viewers.
The transformation to opinion blogger did not work
How did it go on YouTube? On YouTube, Luis seemed to want to start with a few articles in the style of an opinion blogger after his ban, but that was met with little success.
While his previous videos on Destiny generated about 50,000 views, attempts to explain how silly other content creators are regarding Destiny or suggestive videos about the streamer Amouranth only garnered views in the range of 4,000 to 10,000.
From the best year on Twitch to a crash
What is behind this: In 2023, Lachegga, a solid PVP player, had his best year on Twitch in the absence of much competition in Destiny 2 with an average of 100 viewers.
However, the extremely toxic atmosphere he propagated ultimately became his downfall, and it did not go up from there, but down.
Without the shooter Destiny 2, to which he and his community had a deep love-hate relationship, there were no further prospects for the content creator, and the career seems to have simply run its course. For parts of the German community related to Destiny 2, one has to be ashamed.
