Account Bans: Unfortunate series of events last night. A lot of accounts got popped last night, including mine. I'm shocked this happened considering there has been proof sent in of players that have been cheating using software for years that have gone unpunished & continue to ruin online gameplay. Unfortunately, as we have learned this year, SDS will only take action if it's to protect their wallets. They don't give a fuck about protecting their customers. I would like to point out that they made it their priority to get these bans out right before a collection drops today. Had to make sure all stub purchases go through the Show Shop! It's not only people that used stub sites, they also banned people who were using the marketplace to make stubs the legit way. People are getting banned for investing properly. I'll talk more about SDS in a bit, U4GM first. The last 5 years I've gotten a handful of offers from multiple stub sites that I never considered or responded to because I never wanted to risk getting any one banned. After learning that thousands of people from my community had already been using the site to get their collections done for years & seeing other creators promote it without issue, I decided to do more research into it. I chose to buy stubs from the site prior to partnership to see what the process was like & everything went perfectly smooth. I waited multiple days after the purchase to be safe, and obviously there was no ban. After then discussing it with my Twitch chat & seeing that they unanimously supported the move, I decided to do a trial partnership. I honestly still stand by everything I have said about U4GM as a company. They delivered everything that was promised on their end. They were legit & they were safe to use. Early on I made it a point to emphasize that what we were doing was against terms of service but nobody I knew had ever been banned for using the service. I also mentioned that if bans ever began I'd stop any type of promotion instantly. I didn't realize it could all happen at once & for that I'm sorry. In a year where SDS has done nothing but lie to us & limit our ways of earning stubs the right way, I loved the idea of players getting more stubs while spending less money. It's the LEAST they deserve after putting up with false promises & paying full price for a broken game. As for SDS, it’s baffling to see so much effort go into banning their customers while game breaking issues continue to exist and legitimate cheaters continue to ruin the game. When the mini-seasons glitch happened, they went into work on a Sunday to make sure they could limit any damage that the packs would do to their stub sales. Meanwhile it's been 5 months & they still can't deliver on their promise to remove PCI shrinkage. It's now AUGUST & their only priority is banning players for flipping the market? Where is this effort to ban players using scripts to cheat online? What have you given customers to incentivize them to spend MORE money in your shop for LESS stubs when all you've done is ruin their gaming experience with your lack of updates & communication? If all you care about is your wallet, customers should only care about theirs. Good work though, you eliminated the people that were trying to find a way to keep your game fun enough to play. If you bought stubs because of my influence & SDS punished you, I truly am sorry. It sucks to know that they care more about your $100 than protecting you from cheaters. Players deserve a better game & better communication if they're going to be spending $100 for 150k stubs. I love you guys & I'm aware some of you will be upset at me which I can accept because this is a super shitty situation. This is the first mistake I've made with my community but it's certainly not a small one. I wish it was only me who was punished. I'll be live later if you want to call me slurs 🥀 I spoke to U4GM & was assured that anyone who was affected by the ban will be compensated.
