Roblox bans PewDiePie, and his name
If you’re not familiar with the subscriber war, the basic gist is that a whole lot of YouTube users are unhappy that the channel of Indian production company T-Series is close to the top subscriber count on the platform. So they want PewDiePie on top instead. If you’ve seen the memetic “sub to PewDiePie” thrown around lately, that’s why – and it’s gone as far as a GTA5 hacker promoting PewDiePie on the in-game news feed.
PewDiePie’s latest effort in the subscriber war involved a big Robolox stream this past Sunday. After that stream, PewDiePie was banned from the game with a moderator note saying “your username is inappropriate for Roblox,” which the YouTuber addresses in a recent video. That username was ‘pewdie123t32.’
Ordinary players are seeing similar action, as Kotaku reports. In-game objects carrying the ‘sub to PewDiePie’ banner are getting removed, and usernames referencing PewDiePie in varied spellings have been restricted from the account creation process.
