Nidas mentioned that he, being worried about his fellow streamer, tried to contact SAVx multiple times through his private email but didn’t receive a response.

“I received an answer yesterday, from his brother,” Ninad said. “I was asked to share this information with individuals who have known him and cared to ask, but since Sav was part of so many people’s lives and helped bring laughs and advice to so many of us I needed to take some time to figure out how to properly share this with the rest of you.”

“The family has asked for anyone that wishes to send or share anything, to do so through a mental health charity or become an advocate for suicide prevention,” he continued. 

Lastly, Ninad asked all of the readers to “remember Sav for his undying urge to help others, for his unselfishness and for his enormous positivity” and to stop any further speculations regarding it. 

This Twitch clip captures streamer ‘DasMehdi’ reading the email that Sav’s brother sent him to his viewers. The email states that Sav passed away on Christmas Afternoon.

The newfound success motivated him to bring major changes in his life, and having lived in the OfflineTV house until now, he teased moving out of California. He parted ways with OfflineTV to pursue his own personal projects back in November 2020.

After a few days of teasing his move, Sykkuno confirmed it via Twitter. “moving to las vegas! ill be back on streams soon!!” read his Tweet. His move will take time, along with setting up everything in his new home, thus he takes a break from streaming until further notice.

Las Vegas houses celebrities of various backgrounds and will expose him to greater opportunities. His fans are overwhelmed with his decision that he gets to do the things he always wanted in life. Though the break will cost him some time away from regular streaming, a massive influx of viewers can be expected when he comes back shortly.

Epic Games Sues Apple, Google in UK

Epic Game’s battle against giants Apple and Google has gone international, as the company has raised complaints against both to the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (CTA), claiming that the two had violated the UK competition laws. 

Apple and Google, on the other hand, have claimed that Epic Games has attempted to bypass their payment systems, thus breaking their ToS.

The dispute between the companies dates back to August 2020. To circumvent the 30% commission to Google and Apple for in-app transactions, Epic Games added a payment system of a separate virtual currency that players could buy directly from their website. Both Apple and Google retaliated by removing the Epic Games app from their app stores.

In their complaint, Epic Games accuses Apple and Google of abusing their dominance over their OS installed in smartphones. They have demanded Google prevent pre-installing Google Play on all Android devices in the UK, while the Apple complaint demands the removal of the restriction of downloading Epic Games Store to Apple devices in the UK. 

We’ll have to wait till 21st January to find out what comes out of this complaint when it will be put forward to the CTA for their decision.

YourPrincess quit Twitch Rivals; drama explained

The League of Legends star YourPrincess aka Jayden Diaz, has decided to step down from captaincy from the Twitch Rivals competition after she accused a fellow player of sexual abuse.

Though the decision was taken out of her own discretion, her teammates somewhat forced it out of her as they chose to abandon their team once the draft was finalized. Having three of her teammates drop out, Diaz was left without a team to be a captain of. Players who were drafted in her team found her allegations bogus and immediately opted out.

YourPrincess drama explained

YourPrincess made accusations against player ‘Tuesday’ aka Jean-Sébastien Thery in 2020 as part of the MeToo movement. She claimed Thery made her feel uncomfortable and things took a worse turn after he allegedly picked her up and placed her on his lap without warning. Tuesday defended himself by making public a series of private chats with YourPrincess that suggests they shared a flirtatious relationship far from platonic. YourPrincess has also been accused of abusing the popularity of the #MeToo movement to traction from media attention.

Why YourPrincess quit Twitch Rivals

Diaz has been under fire ever since the screenshots surfaced. The community was quick to get behind Tuesday as everyone finds enough ground to justify his actions. The pressure has forced Diaz to completely part ways with Twitch Rivals as after the truth came out, no one was willing to play with her anymore, three players of her team, MikeYeung, Dragoon, and LL Stylish, all flunked the team.

Marketing Firm Fined $75,000 In Brazil after promoting Cyberpunk 2077

Marketing Firm Fined $75,000 In Brazil after promoting Cyberpunk 2077

A marketing firm working for CDPR in Brazil was fined $75,000 by the city of Sao Paulo for panting a full-length Cyberpunk 2077 mural on a building.

According to the Brazilian gaming magazine START, marketing and production company NaLata hired by CDPR rented a windowless building just off a major highway to paint a full-length mural of Cyberpunk 2077 to promote the game. While the plan sounded simple and harmless, the city court of Sao Paulo ruled the mural as illegitimate and ordered the company to remove it. In addition, the court also ordered NaLata to pay a fine equivalent to USD $75,000 for violating Sao Paulo’s advertising laws.

As per START, the city has a  “Clean City” ordinance, which outlaws the use of all outdoor advertisements, including on billboards, posters, murals, and transit in front of stores. The law is in place since 2006 and works to ensure the unique character of the city isn’t hidden under massive signs and pervasive advertising. 

According to START, NaLata wasn’t informed of the illegality of the mural and believed it to be allowed as the city’s official Twitter handle complimented the company by post a picture of the mural, in a now-deleted tweet. Further to add to the confusion, NaLata had previously painted a similarly stylized mural for another game, Free Fire, which was allowed by the city to stay up. However, when the Cyberpunk 2077 mural was brought before the city court it was ruled as an advertisement and direct violation of the city’s “Clean City” ordinance. 

The fallout from the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 is only getting bigger by the day. With the Polish government now keeping an eye on the company and multiple lawsuits already in place, CDPR won’t be having a good time for the majority of 2021.

Minecraft Streamer Nathan loses all 21K followers overnight

Everything fell apart for Nathan when he found his Twitch followers disappear overnight. Before the fiasco, the Minecraft streamer boasted over 21000 followers, and two years of his handwork went in vain.

The 16-year-old did not share what exactly caused this debacle, however, the community swiftly got behind to support him. Nathan claims that he grinded for over two years to reach where he was before losing his followers, and all of it disappearing overnight puts a massive dent on his mental health.

The follower’s loss left him heartbroken but the community response was overwhelming as they helped to remedy the situation to some extent.

https://twitter.com/JustNathanTV/status/1349544546330406912

“I’ve lost everything,” “My Twitch lost all of its followers. Every single person who has followed me the last 26 months are gone. I’m just at a loss for words,” he said upon losing his followers. Not just the Minecraft community, rather the entire twitch userbase got behind him to help take his channel back to where it was. Nathan regained 16,000 followers, thanks to the community raiding his channel.

The support he is getting is something unprecedented, having gained 10,000 followers in just 2 hours is something unheard of. There is no clear explanation as to why this happened so Twitch is likely to take a closer look at the situation given the attention it is getting.

How to get M1887 One Punch Man skin in Free Fire

Free Fire has added yet another gun skin to the One Punch Man collection and this time, the M1887 One Punch Man themed skin is added to a special spin event in-game. This event is slightly changed but ultimately, players just have to spin the wheel and get special tokens to unlock special prizes, including the M1887 skin.

Free Fire is well known for its in-game skin range and with each new event or collaboration, the game adds more and more skins to its arsenal. They are very lucrative and one can only access them through specific events for a short period of time.

Recently, Free Fire collaborated with a famous anime series named ‘One Punch Man’ and as a result, many themed items from the series made its way into this game.

Steps to get M1887 One Punch Man Shotgun skin in Free Fire

The One Punch Man M1887 Shotgun skin is available under a special spin section. One has to spin the wheel to unlock the red fist tokens. After collecting a total of five, players can swap them with the special rewards like this new skin. You can follow these steps to unlock the skin.

  • Go to the Calendar tab and click on the ‘M1887 – One Punch Man’ banner.
  • Click on ‘Go TO’ and you will be redirected to a special minigame.
  • Here, players have to spin the wheel until they unlock the special fist coupons.
  • After unlocking these fist tokens for five times, players can use it to unlock the M1887 – One Punch Man skin.

Remember that the spin event is completely random and hence, it might cost you a hefty amount of diamonds to complete the spin and then unlock the skin. This spin event is quite different than the normal rolls because players have to invest to unlock a single token, which will be used to get the Shotgun skin. Try your luck at the spin and unlock the skin.
