Blizzard Entertainment (hereinafter, Blizzard) deals with “supervise 2]has been distributed for free since 5 October. As a sequel to the popular “Overwatch” combat FPS, it is attracting a lot of attention. In this work, which has just come out, a popular broadcaster faces a five-year ban (chat ban). It seems to be becoming a hot topic mainly in the overseas gaming community.
The talk is about streamer Tyler Steinkamp (tyler1). On October 13, local time, “Overwatch 2” live streaming on Twitch began. He said the stream was sponsored by Blizzard. Viewers were thrilled with its “Overwatch 2” release, which happened in a guerrilla fashion.
However, a few minutes after the play-by-play broadcast began, Tyler checked his chat section and saw a warning message saying, “You have been imposed a ban penalty of 1812 days.” Mr. Tyler reveals surprise and anger at the punishment for about 5 years. On the other hand, he said that after a while he will regain his composure and he admits his responsibilities to him. Also, if Mr. Tyler’s claim about the sponsor of the distribution is true, it has become a strange situation that he receives an in-game penalty even though he’s live with the official approval of the developer. .
Blizzard Official SiteSupport pageAccording to the company, the sanction of the ban is a sanction imposed on “person who has made a malicious chat”. The definition of “malicious chat” is discriminatory, obscene and offensive communication and the ban penalty period in “Overwatch” is 7 days (186 hours) for the first violation. Each time the same penalty is imposed, the duration will double or more, and could even result in the suspension of the account itself. However, Tyler said this was her first time playing Overwatch 2. There seems to be a different reason behind her facing a lengthy disqualification penalty.
After all, Tyler is a streamer who has long been known for his extreme behavior. He often broadcasts live broadcasts of Riot Games’ “League of Legends” and utters offensive words regardless of friend or foe, or speaks in anger. He was known for his so-called “kiregei” behavior. However, in April 2016, Riot Games announced that Tyler’s “League of Legends” account would be suspended indefinitely for his behavior.
After receiving an indefinite account suspension from League of Legends, Tyler began playing Overwatch. He said he’s played Overwatch a lot since his beta days. However, according to Tyler’s past stream, it appears that he has also been sentenced to a long-term ban sentence for “Overwatch”. Even while playing “Overwatch,” he said he complained and cursed, and it is believed that such behavior was punished in the same job as well.
In other words, the five-year ban sentence that Tyler faced in “Overwatch 2” is seen as a remnant of the “10-year chat ban” once imposed in “Overwatch”. Even after the transition from “Overwatch” to “Overwatch 2”, the disqualification sanction that took place five years ago still remained.
However, Tyler, who witnessed the penalty this time, reflected on his own remarks at the time, commenting, “I deserved it.” He demonstrates that he is reflecting on his past actions of him. Also, despite being a story of yesteryear, in 2018 Riot Games partially resolved the aforementioned “League of Legends” sanction. The live reproduction of the same work also continues, and it can be seen that some improvement in behavior has been made.
Mr. Tyler, who has been recognized by Riot Games for some behavior improvement and continues his activities as a distributor of “League of Legends”. However, it appears that his past actions and the results in “Overwatch” still remain in the form of a “chat ban” for about 5 years. Either way, all he can do is continue to refrain from inappropriate behavior.
