against real players, excuses it because he didn't do it in a big competition
(or use his main machine/account).
Fuck that, I play a bit of PUBG, don't take it very seriously,
but if I get killed by a cheat, I would hope that cheat gets banned,
doubly so if the cunt's making money off it.

Let me get this right...
- Kid cheats at game
- People in charge of game ban him
- Kid goes on YouTube, cries and decides to put it online anyway because clicks = cash
- Kid doesn't want to lose his account even though he can create a new one.
No sympathy. I'm no nutter, but you have to learn that if you f**k up, there's consequences. Putting your tears online to bag yourself more money, then getting your mom to talk to the papers for even more cash? Sod off.

He can create a new account, but he's been 'hardware banned', which means that the client on his PC will report back to Fortnite HQ if it detects that his computer is trying to access the servers (a bit like a MAC address). Not that it really bloody matters when he's got enough money to buy a whole new PC or ten.
No doubt they'll overturn the ban in a few weeks, anyway. As him up there ^ said - cunts, the lot of them.

I'd get a 3d artist to recreate his crying face as a free cosmetic DLC, and create a contract whereby he can only be unbanned if he licenses that image to them to use for $1.
He can play, but everyone gets to taunt him with his own crybaby bullshit.

It takes a hardware fingerprint of the entire PC, much the same as Windows does and looks for specific vendor information/serial numbers. If enough serial numbers match, it decides that the machine is blacklisted and denies it access to the Server.

He's almost as bad as someone who didn't get the result they'd hoped for in a referendum.
