"This was a huge mistake was completely wrong on my end." "I've been permanently banned from 'Fortnite' for life," Jarvis said. Jarvis admitted to using the bots in an emotional video - in which he chokes back tears to reveal the punishment he received from Epic Games, the company behind "Fortnite." “I should have paid more attention to the community rules.FYI, Aimbots is an illegal hack that essentially auto-focuses your weapons on opponents, making it MUCH easier to hit your target and get kills. “Genuinely I don’t even know what I was thinking, cheating in anything is just terrible,” he continued. “Obviously this is a huge mistake and it’s completely wrong on my end,” Jarvis says in the YouTube video. Cheating software also directly tampers with how the game works.įaze Clan did not respond before publication. The professional players temporarily banned earlier this year teamed up and made an agreement, whereas aimbots are something that anyone could theoretically look up and buy, making them more pervasive. It seems that the cheating method made a difference in Epic’s decision. “When people use aimbots or other cheat technologies to gain an unfair advantage, they ruin games for people who are playing fairly.” “We have a zero tolerance policy for the usage of cheat software,” Epic says. The argument against this decision is that it seems absurd that a player using cheats in a non-competitive context would get a lifetime ban, while professional players who cheated in an actual tournament only got a temporary ban - and then were later allowed to play during the World Cup.Īn Epic Games spokesperson reiterated to Polygon that Jarvis broke the rules. While some believe this is a cut and dry situation, others, like popular YouTuber The Fortnite Guy, are calling it unfair. The Fortnite terms of service note that the game forbids the use of “cheats, bots, scripts, or mods not expressly authorized by Epic,” especially anything that may give “you and/or another user an advantage over other players who do not use such methods.” “It didn’t even cross my mind to think that I could be banned for life from Fortnite.”
“All I was thinking about as I was making those videos was just how entertaining and interesting these videos would be for you guys to watch,” he continues.
“I wouldn’t be here without this game,” he says.
