Getting banned by the Devs, for simply giving a honest review/opinion on a game can suck.
and is actually against the Steam TOS ... and has gotten Devs banned from steam in the past
Yeah, but getting banned for being victim to a hacker is even worse.
@@BlackMoonHowls
Depends on the game; if there's a cheater, their friends are usually nearby. There's entire Discord groups for many popular online games (usually shooters) that will form lobbies just to cheat in game.
So you think you're joining a random server/map but end up fighting against an entire team of cheaters that will all defend each other and claim no one is a cheater nor will they kick their blatantly obvious cheaters because fuck you thats why!
Literally happened to me with Darktide, I said the game is good and the loop is fun but the MtX and tencent forcing cosmetics at the cost of us having literally half the game still not out , 3 months after release and got banned on steam for a year because of it due to “community guideline” strike. Mind you I can’t edit my steam account for a whole year now. Also this isn’t a “ba excuse” you can go on the steam forums and see people calling out the devs for that , literally getting rid of livestream comments and banning anyone that asks them why we have 4 pages of cash shop items and the crafting system that was meant to be in the game by dec 21 still isn’t in the game. Oh and they actually said we were too dumb to have more than three pages of cosmetics , too many choices , they said ON STEAM
@@pingger1de1tl steam won’t do anything. Zero caliber devs have lied for years about updates , literally 4 years of “coming soon” and FatShark is going full scorched earth and still allowed to sell on steam
This video could easily be called "10 reasons why I only play offline single player games"
ya as every last one is just that
I remember getting a 3 day ban from world of warcraft because i was streaming my pc to my phone and playing while on the bus. A month later blizzard featured and openly praised a guy on their site for doing the exact same thing, same program even. The only difference was that he was a twitch streamer and i wasnt.
dam, thats fucking favortism and a half
My WoW account was accessed "Via unknown means" in China, my account was banned and arguing with customer service got me nowhere... Never paid for WoW again lol Fun times...
I experienced the "banned for playing one character" situation back in OW1. I mained Symmetra because at the time, she didn't have to be perfect with her aim (I'm vision impaired in my left eye and my depth perception suffers greatly). I always played Symmetra because people were dumb and she was such an underused hero that people had no idea to counter her. People didn't really know how to play her so they just said she was trash and picking her became synonymous with "throwing." So people would just tell me to switch and report me for griefing even though I was pretty decent with her.
05:14 - nice timing, we had a guy banned on Tarkov last week because he killed a streamer. The streamer manually reached out to the devs saying it was a cheater and got the guy banned in 10 minutes. The thing blew up because after all, it was not the first time something similar happened.
Whenever streamers with decent views get unexpectedly killed,especially if it's the same person they will contact the developers & claim steam sniping. Which I think shouldn't be allowed to happen because I CAN'T count how many times I've encountered Griefers throughout games over the years.
Bro that's the thumbnail.
The streamer is rengawr. The player he got banned was not hacking and the proof is in the streamers VOD.
Streamer sounds like Ninja. Hate those types of streamers.
i have seen so many videos of streamers when they die calling it stream sniping. Totally doesn't help their case when they put .ttv or some other stupid things in their names. These days I think almost everyone goes after anyone that has a name that is associated with being a streamer of some sort.
Can relate to the "banned because hacked" one. Got banned almost 2 years ago from Destiny 2 because someone was breaking into my account and using it to cheat in Trials of Osiris. My account got banned, and when I tried to plead my case to Bungie with the evidence of where my steam account was being logged in to from, they basically responded with "Your account, your problem, your fault even if it wasn't your actions."
Runescape said basically the same shit to me. I told them they can delete the account just let me make a new one with my email cuz I literally haven't used the account in almost a decade. Nope fuck me I guess I'm not playing that anymore.
That's because you didn't get hacked... you gave away your account info (intentional or not is irrelevant). It's pretty clear in the Steam Subscriber Agreement.
@@JustAFan444 that's like saying getting mugged is giving away personal information; giving away account information implies an act of volition on their part where there wasn't one.
@@Unknown_Genius No, the soul problem is the gaming industry in NO WAY wants literally any responsibility for their products. They just want to sell things over and over again and make User Terms of Use Agreements that are so long, convoluted and full of legalese that if you break down contradicts itself a few times just so they get their way all the time and in all cases, that there is no way any normal person would actually read it and understand what they're agreeing too. All of which is designed to cover their own ass from responsibility while not limiting their ability to make money. So I salute those that actually take the time to sort these things out, they're the good ones, but for every one of them there's another one of the bad ones who does what I just typed in this post.
same hapened with me but was on rust
The last one reminds me of the old AOL Scunthorpe issue. Basically no-one from Scunthorpe (a town in Lincolnshire, UK) could sign up to AOL as it failed their profanity filter checks. Many years later there were still instances where this happened. As someone who is from Scunthorpe this affected me quite a bit in the 90s!
A lot of English towns and villages do have unusual names. Well nowadays they seem unusual but they probably weren't when they were named 100s of years ago. When I went to visit my parents home town in Newcastle England some of the relatives lived in a town called "Pity me".
@@SciFiSecrets - In the 90s it was quite prevalent in the UK. Obviously it was sold as AOL and not America Online!
wonder what happens to people from Dildo, Newfound Land here in Canada.
Greetings from bavarian town of Fucking.
@@RhondaFizzleflintClose to the town of Marrige right?
The worst part of some of these bans is that it can effect your entire account. I would be satisfied with just dropping a game if I was treated unfairly by the developers but being banned can leave a permanent mark that can be seen by everyone. An example of this is Rust. There are a LOT of servers that you simply can't join if you have a ban show up on your Steam account regardless of what the ban was for.
I got banned from world of warcraft for beating a developer in a battleground. He was even using hacks to give his mage abilities that it didn't have such as army of the dead, totems, a cat pet just to mention a few but I still beat him. If it wasn't for a fellow guild member recording the fight I would have had a permanent ban for alleged cheating. At the time my guild was the top ranked guild on my server so with their help I got my account back and the developer got sacked but unfortunately we lost our top ranking because it did take over a month to reverse the ban.
Blizzards approach is pure frustration, you're assumed guilty regardless of innocence, they sometimes don't even send e-mails with reasons for bans and in my case it took SIX tickets for them to accuse me of botting with zero recourse. I mean how does one prove they were not doing something like that? O.o It did teach me not to celebrate bans as there are far too many false positives out there and the player has no way to prove themselves.
Cartman?
Just Blizzard being Blizzard

@@gameranxTV chick fil a
I logged into Hypixel for the first time ever to play with my son and was instantly automatically permanently banned because their system detected...something. It didn't tell me what it detected. I was running the game through MultiMC and had two clientside-only mods installed, those being Just Enough Items (a recipe book and, *only if you are admin,* inventory editor) and JourneyMap (a minimap). I immediately went to their forums to ask why I was banned and to appeal the ban and was told, almost word for word, "We don't care, you're a worthless hacker, gtfo kid." Firstly, although obviously they had no direct way of knowing this, I'm 35. I'm not a kid. Secondly, they call themselves "the most professional Minecraft server." Bullshit. If they were even half as professional as they claim to be, they would at least have tried to explain what their anti-cheat system had detected (probably JourneyMap, as it does have an entity radar which admittedly could be used to cheat in certain ones of their minigames).
It could’ve been JEI as well, given the amount of utility it provides, of course it can’t be used outside of cheat mode. As for that response, I’m kinda not surprised, I don’t know if it ever gets pointed out, but many of these so called “professionals,” are the furthest from that. I mean look at CZcams addressing issues, and how they ignore it until it gets blown out of proportion, then like a child throwing a tantrum, (“Fine I’ll do it!”) Is when they finally address an issue.
They’re Minecraft mods they obviously power trip all the time
If somebody calls themselves a "professional" moderator they probably arent.
On top of a guy getting banned in tarkov for killing a Dev, someone recently got banned just because he killed a streamer and the streamer cried to a dev about it
In Trackmania you can bind custom horns to your car. One person got banned because he used a horn in a tournament of a big Trackmania streamers that annoyed the streamer.
Thats legit. Hate horns irl
If the creators want more teamwork in Hero-shooters they need to change the MVP award from most kills to something like most revives as that will promote teamwork far more as you need to be a team player.
They also need to handout harsher punishments for team killing and make it easier to report toxic players.
Having the MVP be the one with the most points will only ever promote more lone wolf play.
They could also add special rewards that are only available to players with high team play stats.
i agree with you except for team killing thats just hilarious
@@raptorfromthe6ix833 I'm not going to lie and say Team Killing isn't hilarious, what I am saying is that blatant Team Killing as mentioned in this video should come with a harsher punishment.
I've been team killed in R6S simply because I picked my favourite Operator before another player and got shot because of it.
I've also been team killed because another player didn't think I was playing a Operator correctly both of which are wrong.
and if they don't want people playing a certain character then like, disable it? remove it? Banning people for selecting an available option is just idiotic.
@@MsMoonDragoon that's why I like inviting friends rather than playing with randos in multiplayer.
You never know whose toxic and takes the game too seriously.
I just wanna have fun
@@MsMoonDragoon have you ever played overwatch ranked and you get that one kid that stubbornly uses widow maker regardless of having 0 kills they will never switch. That was and still is a huge problem with overwatch is the amount of throwers.
Gotta say gameranx has a lot more fun personality than other gaming journalists, really fun to watch you guys
Definitely. IGN is a soulless joke haha
Except the part where he is oblivious to how the real world works. Such as the claim that militias are "illegal armies of hate groups". Which is hilariously wrong as militias are actually a Human Right according to NATO *AND* The US Constitution.
@@toddboward4771 ????
@@toddboward4771 He didn't even say that. The worst he said was Facebook was trying to ban 'groups that support violent acts'. But he was heavily sarcastic, even used finger quotes, and ended with a 'or whatever'.

What is referring to is what they've become nowadays, the current meaning.
Reminds me of the 1 ban i have because i was unlucky to log into a game when they were experimenting with automated moderation but loudly saying they only did manual moderation and everything was manually reviewed.
I was banned only 2-3mins after logging in and hadn’t been logged in for over a week beforehand.
And all i did was load in watch a cutscene and get halfway to the next cutscene.
Annoying part is apparently steam considers game bans as vac bans despite openly stating they’re not given by VAC but instead by whatever system the developers want to use. Also the wasted money of just having bought a collector’s edition expansion pack to support the game.
@@nathnathn i hope ya got a refund for it

I got permabanned from the original MW2 on steam because I got matched with a hack lobby which instantly max prestiged me. Steam support didn't care, said they had a zero tolerance policy for hacks.
That's not up to steam, that's on Activision.
Yup and also playing older cods is a seriues risk for youre pc. The xbox servers are fixed by ms (after the takeover) but the pc servers are still dangerous.
This gives me a list of games and developers to not give a second of attention
Rockstar banned me in a game for killing them in a game of devs VS players
Falcon once saved my puppy from a burning fire and then did my taxes while creating a fundraiser to have 100 oprhans adopted. The man is a Saint.
You’re welcome
this must have been right before he loaned me his ferrari, I remember him sharing this in anecdote. swell bird!
@@hiiirooo333 that must have been before he flew in puppies from romania and built them a shelter as he told me about the stories while building
Damn. I posted something similar and didn’t even see this comment until after. Now I feel like a rip off. I’m sorry. 😞
He stole my rabbit, dropped it from a great height then pecked the eyes out of the still twitching body. (S)aint.
Someone got banned on Tarkov recently too because he killed a streamer who was a "sherpa" and the twitch diva contacted the devs and got the player banned lol. It was a huge thing recently. Ridiculous.
Automated ban systems are generally a bad idea. They just encourage players to abuse them. There's nothing quite like getting banned for politely asking someone to stop spamming or saying toxic things.
Bethesda did it (Fallout 76), they found a few players who had hacked their way to insane amounts of resources (including ammo) so they made the system "ban all people with more than X (I think it was 10.000) rounds of this kind of ammo", so all those who had hoarded it so they were ready to "raid" with their friends during an event got banned, for having too much ammo in storage.
I got one, i got banned on the VRchat community forms for "using third party programs" when all i did was ask a question about full body tracking lol
Should have added the "Get banned for NOT playing the game" for Amazon's Lost Ark, at least as a bonus since it possibly happened after you produced the video.
That was included in a previous video.
This channel brings my love for video games back even at its lowest. Wonderful content as always!
I have a personal & true "Banned" story to share. You know that Pokemon-like game titled "Temtem"? I bought & started playing it years ago. Anyhow, there's this lore in the game where Temtem with the "Digital" typing (let's call them "Digitems") are a very new species of Temtem because they were artificially created by humans in modern labs. [Remember that lore, it's very important.] Then, we have the Koish which are Water type goldfish-like Temtem who have the uncanny ability to attain a second typing which gives them dual typing (Water/Fire, Water/Nature, Water/Melee, etc.). Apparently humans have been fishing the Koish for centuries, even thousands of years. [Also remember this part.]
Now here's how the story gets murky. 1 day I fished up & caught a Water/Digital type Koish! Mind you this happened when I was so many story chapters away from even reaching the continent where Digitems were created so this raises a lot of flags. I then created a thread on the Temtem discussion forums on Steam stating this & asking how a goldfish Temtem living so far away from where Digitems were created was able to attain a Digital second typing through evolution & how they were even stories of how a "Koish with a glowing plate on its forehead" (which is something only the Water/Digital Koish have) have been caught a few times centuries ago. [Do you see the loophole in the lore here?] How can an adaptable fish evolve a typing which would not exist until the day when humans created Digitems?
How did the Crema staff react to my discussion? They *PERMANENTLY BANNED* me from the Temtem Steam community on the account of *"TROLLING"!*. That's my true story. Apparently, I was only 1 of thousands who got banned for stupid reasons. Temtem will never achieve the love & popularity of Pokemon now.
never heard of it, must suck
#10 Happened to me in a game called Ragnorium. I left a 5 paragraph "review" on their forums not on the game page because I didn't want the game to get a negative review before the dev had a chance to fix the stuff. I tried to be as polite as possible. I got banned, and the dev posted this comment cussing me out blah blah blah. So appearently its a common enough thing although your video was the first other one I have ever personally heard of.
should post the review and watch them seethe
Everytime I see a cheater, I think of ScriptKid, doing God's work against these a-holes.
I just watched some of ScriptKid's videos last week and the thought of cheaters being so confused or pissed off at what he had done to them had me laughing so hard I could hardly breathe.
@@Dakhoth Same I almost choked
I LOVE ScriptKid! His videos are hilarious, and I really enjoy seeing cheaters getting what they deserve. I've watched them multiple times, and I still laugh so hard it brings tears to my eyes.
Absolutely. That dude is a wizard and a legend.
@The0verPr0 I had to have a 17 hour operation for medical professionals to save my life about those videos
Getting banned for getting hacked happened to me as well. Couple of years ago my battle net account was banned and some guy tried to buy like hundreds of in-game stuffs from classic world of warcraft. I remember getting hundreds of e-mails, failed transactions etc (That's how I found out my account was hacked) And the funny part is that the hacker or scammer whatever, used his own credit card (or a stolen one, who knows) to buy some stuff and somehow failed due to the insane amount of transition requests (My guess he was using a bot or a program or something) It was so shocking for me because at the time I wasn't even playing wow. I only played 6-7 months ages ago and left. So anyway, I requested a ticket to blizzard, describing how it wasn't me who's trying to purchase millions of things and that my account was banned. Their respond was so pity it almost makes me laugh. To this day I'm permanently banned from playing world of warcraft (not that I care too much)
I played WoW from vanilla to the end of WotLK, like 5 years or something, never once got hacked. About a week after I quit I got messaged from friends who still played saying that my character was spamming links to gold selling sites. Years later When I retrieved the account naturally every item I owned had been disenchanted and sold, about 50k gold was gone. My guess is that Blizz is somehow in on it tbh coz I've heard others experience the same thing. Whenever an account goes inactive they hand it over to the goldfarmers for ransacking. They definitely make profit from the goldsellers/bots because no matter how many times you report them they do nothing, but if you start messing with bots you'll be the one who gets a warning.
your account your problem! but now try selling that accoutn and that tune WILL change! now they will say its THEIR ACCOUNT and you dont have the right to sell it. same as bad animal parrents where its YOUR cat if its sick and MY cat when its healthy!
Number 8 happens to this day by so many different companies, i've seen posts about people who didn't know they got hacked on a game found out weeks later only to have that account be perma banned with no appeals process.
I got banned for reporting a money bug in Forza Horizon 4 right after release. I was part of a closed beta and had reported the bug and it wasn't fixed. What would happen is, the game would crash when performing certain jumps that ended in crazy landings that cause the car to fly off in a weird way. We've all seen physics bugs. But, reentering the game, if it started you back at the house, your money and skill level just goes berserk. I was Live on Mixer at the time both the glitch and the ban happened. I DELETED the then $7B glitched account, blazed through the tutorial and got back into multiplayer racing with friends. I was on XBox. I liked the game, so I purchased the Ultimate edition. This is hours and hours after deleting the glitched save files. After the Ultimate edition stuff downloaded and installed, the game crashed again. I hopped back in and was greeted with a banned notification. I disputed the ban, uploaded the Mixer video of the glitch, the purchase, and all, and I got a very nasty reply threatening me that if I contact them again, they'd ban all my Forza games.
All over a glitch patched within the first week. (Edited to correct game version)
WOW so guess thats a refund and a half sense ya JUST purchest it.
@@lechking941 yeah, pretty much was given the middle finger. I'm banned until 2047. And yet every other Forza game, I'm fine. I've earned billions of game money in Forza 7 and have been in the top 1% of all Xbox players due to Forza 6 and 7 gameplay so clearly I have no reason to cheat. But someone just had to show they can ban just because they could.
@@brianthompson72 lets hope that dick of theirs shattered mid boner for the pain and bleed out risk is worth the wait. because ya someone got rock hard there.
@@brianthompson72 yet people still use trainers on horizon and don't get banned.
@@TheLegendBrolySS that's sad. I can still play, but what's the point if I can't play with friends? Aside from upgrades and high end cars, I'm really not sure what cheating really gets you. I guess if someone using a trainer were able to increase handling or speed. None of which was even remotely close to their treatment of me. I guess I won't point out glitches anymore and let people exploit the hell out of them.

And i probably can get some laughter from my friends too if i show them this case
Thanks for the laugh gameranx and you mr. Falcon
Number 8 happened to me with Modern Warfare 2019. I didn't learn about the BBB option until a year later after appealing the ban didn't work, but the BBB appeal got them to lift it.

I once got banned by a game's AI for attempting to find or exploit game-breaking bugs... only thing was.I was a beta tester and the AI program was just put in, all our testers had a good laugh because we decided to put that as a game-breaking bug that the AI could not tell their own testers from a hacker
Oh wow. As someone currently working as an FQA tester, this hurts.
XD well thats one fun way for devs to realise how fickle the auto system is.
I got banned from one because I looted a chest, then the game must have bugged and I could loot the chest again, got banned for "item duplication glitch".
A glitch is not the players fault, it's the developers, when they ban players for using it, be it accidental or deliberate, then then tells us more about he developers than anything else.
Funny timing as there is an on-going drama with an EFT streamer that got someone banned for killing him a couple of days ago.
It's sad to see gamers get punished with poor justification. This is a lot more common than people realize.
I love the married with children and other memes and stuff. They're used so well xD

Bruh I remember playing a Bungie Dev in Halo 3 multiplayer and the guy gave me Recon armor for winning the game. Miss those typa devs 😂
dam ya there is so few devs like that nowadays.
Number 1 is still very much an issue today. I remember in my PlayStation Support MVP (a strictly volunteer group) days when a user's account was permanently banned as their ID deemed offensive; it had their real name in it, Osama. Yes I get it but that one guy isn't the only person in the world with that name. Everything is now gone because of their actual, legal name.
And it's not even just that specific name that gets flagged, banned or outright not allowed. While you shouldn't use identifying information as a gaming ID that's not the real problem. And it doesn't even just exist in gaming. People can't even set up an account for various other services just because of their real legal name is deemed offensive.
Just more examples of how concern around "offensive" content has gone way, way too far at this point.
I got banned in Elite Dangerous, for asking my buddy for some credits for a new ship, and got banned for "real world currency trading"
I'm super surprised the recent Lost Ark bans weren't mentioned. Where people were banned for literally being inactive; leaving a big red mark on many peoples steam profiles.
Was about to comment the same. Probably too recent to include in the video.
Right? I figured that'd be on the list.
Banned for not playing the game.
Which also effects your steam account.
I uninstalled and removed it when I heard about that

"A pair of panties can get you banned" is not a sentence i expected to hear from Falcon's beak and yet here we are
Given the nature of gaming, especially JRPGs, it was inevitable. I'm looking forward to when he says, "when you strap this pair of panties to your shield, you're basically unkillable." It may be a few years - but only a few.

Oh my God, number 3's story speaks to me on a personal level, without a doubt. So I want to say about a year - year and a half ago, my PSN account was hacked and oddly enough the hacker: 1. Didn't change my password, 2. Didn't change my profile name or picture, 3. Didn't somehow ban me from accessing any of my games in my library. What they (the hacker) did, and how I found out later, was that they had bought Maddens, NBAs, and I think like at least one FIFA game (I don't even play those kinds of games, i kinda hate them to be honest) through my my PSN account and because for quite some time back then I wasn't really wanting to play my PS4 due to life, other games, etc., I never knew what was going on. It took me until I was going through my bank's transaction statements one day while on break at work to finally realize just how much this ass hat has stolen from me. So I tried contacting PS's customer support and said that they couldn't (more like didn't give a shit) do anything for me. So I had to go over their heads and contact my bank and had them do a charge back for all of those games that was fraudulently bought with my money. When all was said and done, what does PS do when they realize that I (my afflicted PSN account) was try to play them for a fool and "steal" back my money from their pockets, they banned my account and my affiliated email account (my daily email) for "breach of Terms of service". You want to know the kicker of this story, the damn hacker linked my account to their PS5 console, I don't even own one!
The only things that I got out of this was: 1. Playstation's customer service is fucking flaming hot 🔥 shit. 2. Either always have 2-step verification enabled on your account if you decide to keep your card's info linked to your account or better yet, NEVER EVER LINK YOUR CARD TO AN ACCOUNT AGAIN! Having to manually reenter your credit card info everytime to purchase something is better than the alternative that will eventually happen to you, whether you think so or not.
i never have my card ON file for this reason, some sites auto save your card info without the option, then you have to jump through hoops to take your card off afterwards. been through some stupid shit with online banking
Guau. Pure gold. Thank you so much for the video.
Accounts will be pre banned when hacked to prevent any further value loss on that account and to prevent other game bans. Usually support will clear the ban if you do get your account back.
I've had to deal with this before.

Can relate to the Doomfist guy. It's part of why I try and stay away from competitive. People can justify it all they want with being about team balance but when your team spends the entire round spamming chat with "OMG you suck" "you're the worst" "change characters dumass" it's just being a dick about it.
Of course, so was me staying as symmetra long after we started losing just because I didn't want to give them what they wanted. But maybe if they'd focused on their own gameplay I wouldn't have been so stubborn. I was still trying. Even I knew it was the wrong character to be playing at that point. But they weren't helping either. So I took a loss and probably a few erroneous reports from people who can't stand that they couldn't bully someone into doing what they wanted.
I also remember being banned way back when in counter strike source for getting kills with the scout rifle. Because apparently the admin hadn't wrapped their heads around the idea of headshots doing more damage and they insisted I was hacking when really all I was doing was using a few brain cells.
You did not mention massive bans in new world, people reported players with high gear just to get them banned from the game so then they can conquer their territories.
They way of doing it was, they selected a target and all the guild start reporting him with fake arguments, like arrasements or whatever dumb story, after some hours, that player got banned. So repeat the process with all the targets until you wipe the area.
dam. so basicly just by existing they nuke ya off the map.
I always love to tell people about the time I got banned from the first Planetside: I was invisible. How did this happen? I was using the infiltration suit.
I sniped someone who was using an infil suit once from long range because there apparently was a bug that made them glow from range lol. In hindsight I should have reported it but this was in the ancient times so yeah. :p
@@arcamean785 I used to get sniped while cloaked all the time in the sequel. Makes me wonder now...
@@FireChronos on PC there's definitely been some cheaters over the years but bugs or someone noticing your distortion as you move while they're scoped in does happen. Most fun I ever had was a long range duel with another Infiltrator, so long between our shots connecting we couldn't actually harm one another LOL
planetside was my childhood game even though it didn’t come out long ago
@@shrekzooka1 Some would call 20 years a long time.
Kudos to whoever edited this. Saul Goodman and SpongeBob in the same vid is just the right combo to solidify my love for Gameranx

i got banned from Nintendo for #3 related situation, i got charged 4 times for 1 game (4 $60 charges). they ended up removing the game from my account and unbanning me. which means i lost $60 after the charges. love that they asked "are you sure you didnt buy 4 different $60 games" and after i responded with "I just bought the 1 game" they had the audacity to ask "are you sure?"
i should note i waited a few months to see if they were going to credit my card for the extra 3 purchases and they never did so i proceeded with disputing the 3 charges.
@@Voided_Contact waited a few months ... worthless
I remember a long time ago when I was playing mw3 on my 360 and got stuck in a lobby with a hacker, he used X-ray, invisibility, flight mods. Couldn’t get out of the lobby for some reason and when the match ended I was disconnected and told I was banned. Iirc it was a 3 day ban. When I tried logging in again I found that my whole account has been erased. 11 prestige, all the unlocks, k/d, all gone and set back to 0. Sent the footage from it to activision at the time and all they said was that it was gone and they couldn’t restore it and that I could just do it again.
Thank you for shining a light on these situations and bringing awareness. Hopefully this promotes change.
The devs of Escape from Tarkov are currently banning people for just killing streamers as well as admins now.
tbf, number 8 happened to me aswell, like 15 years ago. I had a trojan including a keylogger on my PC (I was a kid without experience or knowledge in terms of PC). Someone stole my Steam credentials via the keylogger. When I got it back from steam support, it was VAC banned. But steam has a 0% unban policy. If you get a VAC ban, you'll NEVER get unbanned. No matter what the reason is.
It's quite sad. The steam support saw that I was logged in from my home country (germany). Then they saw that someone logged into my account an hour later, but from russia. So they were 100% certain it was not me, yet they didn't unban me. Had to buy a new copy of Counter Strike 1.6 back then. 😂
Would've been pretty convenient if we were given a *link* to the "Part 1" that you mentioned, so we wouldn't have to go searching for it. Just sayin'. Lol
Maining a character should never be ban-able, especially in a team based game. If someone has hundreds of hours in a character, they'll be way more effective and helpful to your team on that character. What is a ban worthy offense is if they're actively trying to lose. Trying to be friendly, jumping off the map, not capping, flanking without their team, basic communication, ect, ect.
League of Legends players oft cannot tell the difference between having a bad game and intentionally trying to lose, even when it's so blatantly obvious that the person is Trying, they just aren't doing well. And yeah they'll report people for it too, it's especially hilarious/sad when they themselves suck lol
You aren't banned for maining a hero, you are banned because of people falsely reporting you and the automated system not bothering to check. You can banned for any reason under that system...
League of Legends had that problem real bad during season 2. Evelynn was nerfed so hard that just simply picking her (whether you did good or not) would result in your whole team reporting you after the match and would often get people's accounts suspended.
@@raziel710 Haha I'd forgotten that one. Most people were only making her coz she was OP before the nerf tho, didn't take them long to jump ship once they realised she'd been broken. Although I did run into one guy who had been playing her since forever that made me aware of the problem. The general 'toxic' community of that game used to be part of the fun but ever since it went big with eSports everyone seems to think they know better than all others. Kinda ruined it for me since now people will report you and shit just for experimenting
Although not a ban but in My Hero One’s Justice 2 there was punishment system for those that dc to much being there are put into their own server…however it was a flawed system bc if 1 person dc it also counted for the other person so within the 1st week 40% of the player based got punished(I was 1 of the unlucky ones -_-)
I had one very similar to one you listed. Back a decade or so ago, I played a game called Combat Arms where I had years of accumulated gear and such (a good bit paid for with money too) hacked because the Nexon servers had a security breech.
I was online when the hacker tried to get on my account. I was able to kick them off and stay online while reporting it directly to Nexon. I was immediately banned for life for hacking... Even after trying to fight it several times, they were just like "you clearly had hacks this day," like... yeah, a hacker logged into my account... "You can't share accounts." Bro...
Hey Falcon, please add pop up link for previous videos (part 1) in this case
My steam account was hacked and stolen. I reported and got the account back (so they acknowledged that it was in fact hacked). Then they went ahead and banned me for something that was done within the couple hours when I lost control of my account. To this date, the account is still banned and they have a zero appeal policy so there's nothing I can do about it. One can say it's my own fault for being hacked, or how I don't secure my own account, but I had all the 2FA stuff setup, different passwords for different websites and accounts. So... yea... still quite bummed out til this day. Thousands of dollars lost.
I don’t know how you didn’t mention the guy in the Minecraft Reddit who got banned for posting the build he made for her recently passed away girlfriend.
Number 8 happened to me as well, on RuneScape & WoW
my blizzard account was hacked & when i complained to blizzard they told me i was not the owner of the account because they changed the information on the account. even when i asked them to look at payment info since that wouldn't change they said they wouldn't do that. fortunately they were willing to simply cancel the account when i told them to which seems weird since they said i wasn't the account owner
Bro the being banned for getting hacked happened to me on Apex Legends
I talked to the EA support team and they verified it cause of the different ip address and server stuff and told me they'll work on it
Only for them to send me an email that my account will never be redeemed, and I had an heirloom in it.
I created another account with similar username so that my friends can easily recognize me, only for that one to be banned as well
Since then I just gave up on Apex
Falcon has such a listenable voice. I like it.
Who's the difference between Jake and Falcon I thought Jake was Falcon I'm a casual and don't know this information how many other voices are in Gameranx
The escape from tarkov one is why I don't play overly toxic games. I stick to mostly destiny and then single player games such as God of war. The stress reduction from giving up games like cod and overwatch was amazing. I got banned for "game file manipulation" 3 times In one year playing call of duty on PS4. Haven't played cod in 5 years. Best decision I've ever made.
The Epic Games one hits home hard. Back before Fortnite had a BR mode, back then it was a zombie base building survival game, my account was hacked by Russians (emails I started getting were all in Russian for the charges made) and $2000 of micro transactions were done. Epic did NOTHING to help me, banned my account, and I was in the mud with them. Fortunately, my credit card company was on my side, froze all charged to Epic, and pursued further with Epic to get the charges reversed. Doesn't end there. I'm still with that credit company because (bless the employees that had to deal with this) it took about 6 months to get the charges reversed. SIX MONTHS! Since then, I've vowed never to deal with Epic ever again. That crap was super sketch.
Keep them coming
Keep reporting these, hopefully someone up the chain will learn and not repeat these mistakes
Not the automated ones. The alternative to that is hiring enough people to do the job, and that would destroy the profits.
I would like to formally request Falcon use his “I’m a computer” voice at least once a month in a video. That was pure hilarity. 😅
My old Steam account was VAC banned like 12 years ago because I played a Counter Strike Source game and a hacker joined the game who changed their name to mine because that was allowed for some reason. The hacker was reported, but the name was reported instead of the actual Steam ID so I got banned from any multiplayer games that Valve made.
Got a same ban on tarkov 7 days ago
Worst thing is i got killed by god mode flying cheater 2 raids before that
Number has been known to happen to the residents of the British town of Scunthorpe...
As you can see by my last name. I have run into issues setting up my xbox live account back in the day on 360. It got to the point where I just used a fake name.
Ironically if Microsoft ever finds out you used a fake name then you could be banned...
Twitch being arbitrary is certainly a thing. I very often think of the fact that “how y’all feel about green beans?” was not compliant with twitch guidelines.
About number 4, it wasn't all about the underwear. that was the one that got the most attention and loudest uproar for, but any and all unobtainable items are bannable in all online from software games
#7 - Lol, a dude in Ultima Online got banned by ...cant remember his real name, but goes by Lord British in a lot of crap, was also involved with Tabula Rasa game. Lord British was showing the game off and walk around when player PKed em. Then got banned for PKing em.
MW2 had an issue for a while with handing out account bans for no apparent reason. Hasn’t happened to me, but I know others
The new MW2 or the original?

Funny you mentioned the old ish tarkov dev story is mentioned here because boy should you see what happened recently in that game...
I love them using the tarkov imagine for the thumb nail
Guy got banned on Tarkov for killing a big twitch streamer too recently 😂
I can relate to that.. I got banned from Call of the wild the angler all because I gave an honest suggestion in how t fix something. The devs took it as I was being negative about the game. Turn away and permanently banned me from the discussions and discord.
You have been banned from Call of the Wild: The Angler
Community Hub. So I know how it feels.
Love this content from this channel, which covers a range of subjects in gaming industry. Keep it up 🤩🤌🏾
Oooof. You know it’s bad when the tarkov situation makes Gameranx
IMO, last entry is the best of all mentioned. By far.
It's ludicrous, to say the least, that in the Internet era, when we have access to a handheld "window" that can be used to look up any kind of information, this can happen: you have an entertainment media account banned because you *dared* to add to it the name of your hometown, which turns out includes a *word* that could very well be a lastname, *and in fact is a synonym to "happy"* , and was in no way insulting *when the town was founded* , all because said word *now* could be used or interpreted in an insulting way (I say interpreted, because regardless of the intent of the user, it's the people who hear the word the ones who react to it, and words lose all their meaning if the beholder just decides to ignore them...).
To add insult to injury, the *Major* of said town decided to intervene on your behalf, and is told off because "it doesn't matter if it is real or not, its *offensive in any context.* " How, just *how* , are we allowing this kind of arguments to be made, let alone be taken as a final decision? *Are we canceling town names now?*
We're no longer looking down a slippery slope, we are sliding down at mach 20, and speeding up...
As someone with a very unfortunate last name I can vouch for #1 on your list... Can be a lot of fun when you have customer service phone calls from people who have to be professional
What is it
how bad IS it?
i remember being banned from a forum for... and get this ...waiting out a two week suspension.
A littler earlier in the month the game Lost Ark on Steam had a huge automated ban wave trying to get rid of bots and banned I don't know how many legit accounts. People that haven't touched the game in almost a year now have VAC Bans on their Steam accounts and the devs still haven't got it all sorted out yet.
#6's is the reason I just don't like competitive team games very much. I cannot stand just wanting to relax, and play a game, and having people tell you that you NEED to play it a super specific way.
Also, with the Epic game store it shocks me how much people defend them to this day, despite them having to be forced by the FTC to do the right thing. I refuse to use the EGS.
"A guy got banned for being Hacked" and I thought my luck is bad sheesh
Banned for killing a dev? That reminds me of Rainz and Lord British
Same thing as Number 8 happend to me in the mmorpg Wildstar. 2 weeks after release a whole wave of accounts got hacked, mine as well. I reported it to the devs. They said thank you and simply deleted my account. No refund. Just gone. Never touched anything from NCSoft again....
I got banned permanently from playstation for reporting someone who was asking for my info through the playstation messages called support they told me nothing they could do i lost thousands in games and all they said was i could make a new account a rebuy my games i had at the time around 400 digital games. I eventually got it back through an appeal system on playstations website that playstation support said didn't exist.
