Another PUBG Streamer Banned, This Time For Exploiting Known Bug
There's an expected uproar, but is it even warranted?
In June, we reported that Bluehole Studios had used the banhammer over 25,000 times in 3 months in pursuit of a fair experience for players. It was described as an “ongoing battle” and the developers have certainly had their hands full with stream snipers since our report, but now another popular streamer has been banned. This time around the reason is due to the exploitation of a glitch that the streamer acknowledged awareness of.
The glitch in question here is one that leaves players vulnerable because the house they inhabit didn’t render correctly in the game space. As reported by PC Gamer, the streamer expressed knowledge of the glitch before taking his opponents out. Not only that, the streamer said multiple times during the stream that they'd get banned for what they were doing. Wish granted.
The ban has sparked a conversation in the PUBG community, but this one sounds pretty cut and dry. There are surely a lot of instances where players have come across someone that seemed to be just standing out in the open when the glitch was actually taking place. It’s possible it has even happened to me and I’ve gotten a kill, but not while completely aware it was happening. The streamer’s declaration of awareness during stream probably made this the easiest ban Bluehole has had to hand out. It’s not a case of just encountering a bug and getting banned. It’s a case of explicitly exploiting one.
If you're on of the many players taking on the PUBG battle royale, be sure to check out our Invitational Crate Guide and give the first-person servers a shot as well.

I got this bug last night, god damn it was buggy but glorious, could see the loot in all the houses but couldn't walk up stairs and would constantly get super stuck on everything with rubberbanding galore. I was able to see every enemy in town but couldn't just shoot them, my duo partner said I was flying thru walls like a ghost. If only a car would of spawned near by, I died with 0 kills so im not worried about a ban.
I got this bug after playing like 4 games in a row, my pc only has 8gb ram and the game was using 7, if you are jetpacking down and the buildings don't load you have it too!-

Of course it's Destiny. No issue with him getting a temp ban like Doc.
