Gamer Banned for 8,000 Years From Forza After Designing Kim Jong-Un KFC Car

0

A Forza Horizon 5 player has reportedly received an 8,000-year ban after designing an in-game ‘KFC’ car featuring the face of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean Supreme Leader.

Alongside the logo of KFC and the face of Kim Jong-Un, the livery also included the hashtag “Send Nukes,” the logo of New Balance depicted as  “Nuke Balance,” and the Nike logo written as “Nuke”.

The news was initially shared by Reddit user ‘AllThingsRacing’, who claims to be a friend of the banned player.

“So my friend just told me that he got an 8,000-year ban for one of his liveries, looks like T10 doesn’t like jokes or something. He never received any warning before this ban either.” 

While the car may have only been designed for humorous purposes, it doesn’t seem like Turn 10 studios’ took the joke lightly, as it resulted in a 8,000-year ban for the creator.

Many social media users have commented on the ban and mocked the company for banning the player, while cheaters and exploiters are often seen roaming freely on the map.

It’s still unclear whether the player will appeal to the ban or if the ban will be removed in the future.

Dr Disrespect Announces AAA Game Studio Midnight Society

0

Herschel “Guy” Beahm or better known as Dr. Disrespect has recently announced that he is building a new “AAA” game studio called Midnight Society, which will, according to Doc, produce large-scale AAA games, with a focus on first-person shooters.

https://twitter.com/12am/status/1470875695836368897

For the success of his endeavor, Doc has hired various veteran developers from the gaming scene that have worked on large-scale AAA games such as Call Of Duty and Halo. Midnight Society lists four co-founders on its website including Dr. Disrespect, Robert Bowling, Quinn DelHoyo, and Sumit Gupta.

Something that many doesn’t know about Doc is that he has worked on creating multiplayer maps and has worked as a mapmaker and level designer on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare before going full-time on content creation and streaming.

Robert Bowling is a former creative strategist and community manager from Infinity Ward. He has worked on the Call Of Duty series has years of experience under his belt. Robert will lead as Midnight Society Studio Head. 

Quinn DelHoyo also a veteran will be the creative director at the studio. Previously, Quinn served in 343 industries as lead sandbox designer on Halo games. While Sumit Gupta is the founder and CEO of Boom.TV, a popular online platform for playing games, tournaments, and watching esports.

As per the studio website, the first game under development will be a PvP title and will involve the community from “Day Zero” of the development. The landing page on the site reads:

“We flip the tables on the traditional video game development model and embrace the Day Zero Community. That means including our players – yes, you – from the earliest most inception. That could be testing reload times and recoil patterns in a firing range or jumping in for the first-ever PVP sessions.”

We don’t expect much news about the game development as the studio is still in its early days and still needs a staff to start working on ideas. Don’t expect any news until mid-2022 or even late 2022.

CSGO ZywOo Admits s1mple Was the Better Player This Year

Team Vitality’s star since their inception Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut shed light on the turbulent year his team had and was critical of his own performance as well. Talking to Esports Kingdom, the 21-year-old prodigy wasn’t shy of accepting that Aleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev was the better player, and anyone who watched the 2021 season would accept that.

Team Vitality had a good 2020, experimenting with a 6 man roster helped them the most and they won multiple trophies last year and were one of the more consistent teams in the Online era. Coming to 2021, they were a shadow of their former selves and won their first trophy in December with IEM Winter.

ZywOo was the MVP of the tournament, his first of the year while his counterpart has won 7 already and maybe on course for an 8th with BLAST World Finals coming up. ZywOo had a slightly disappointing start to 2021 and it was in the early days that he had his worst ever map in CSGO on Overpass. He bounced back in the second half and helped his team achieve multiple top 4 finishes and also a top 8 spot at the PGL Major.

‘Of course s1mple is better than me this year, but I had a bad year too. I’m going to do everything next year in 2022 to get better. I know this year was pretty hard with COVID, we have to play from home, it was really hard sometimes. For sure, s1mple was better than me this year, I have no problem saying it, but I want to play better in 2022 and that’s it.” 

ZywOo Said

Finally winning an MVP and an S-tier trophy, Vitality are slowly coming back but with roster changes almost confirmed, it will be interesting to see how the team performs after signing ‘dupreeh’, ‘Magisk’ and ‘zonic’ as coach. ‘shox’ might leave for Liquid while ‘Kyojin’ is also going to be benched from the looks of things. 

After winning the MVP in a post-match interview, ZywOo also claimed that it was due to COVID and playing from home that they couldn’t perform as well as they would have liked. With LANs slowly coming back, Vitality could hit their peak sooner rather than later and we could see an even closer rivalry between him and s1mple just like 2020 was neck and neck until the end of the year.
