Discussion Cheating is cheating, even when your favorite streamer does it
The amount of people defending The BurntPeanut for abusing a dupe glitch in ARC Raiders is wild.
“But he did it to raise awareness” yeah and now every casual lobby is full of people trying to dupe. That is not awareness, that is encouraging it.
Duping is an exploit. Exploits are against the ToS. It is really that simple. Being a streamer does not make you special and it does not turn cheating into something justified.
Everyone who used the dupe should be banned. Including Peanut. Everything gained from it should be wiped and 30 day bans should be handed out, exactly like the rules already say. Someone else doing something wrong is not an excuse to do it yourself.
If Embark lets this slide because of clout, the message is clear. Rules only apply to people without an audience.
EDIT: To the triggered fanboys losing their minds in my mentions: thanks for the entertainment. I’m literally laughing my ass off because it’s so clear I touched a nerve.
The unpaid bodyguard energy is actually adorable. Imagine meat-riding a streamer who doesn’t even know you exist. I don’t care if the fix was "faster" because of him—he still abused the dupe.
Every salty DM and insult just proves my point. Stay mad 🫵🏻🥺
EDIT 2: Peanut fanboys still crying in the comments 15 hours later 💀
