Banned

The level of attempted justification in that post disgusts me. I mentioned it before, SDS cast a wide net to get everyone who even bought a card from a stub transfer bot(unknowingly)- they will sift out the innocent folks as they go. YFK is trying to paint it as laziness from SDS.
I remember him "discussing" it with his chat as well...I was watching that stream. There was nothing unanimous about it, he was being warned by plenty that it wasn't a smart move. Then trying to deflect the blame by saying "oh the game was so broken, SDS pushed us to it". BS. Hogwash. Bollocks.
What a tool.
Yeah except that hasn't been the case. No one has been banned for buying a card off the market place because someone else put it up for sale. That is just a foolish thing to even try and imply. They haven't banned anyone for something they don't control. Don't think I am defending SDS because I'm not, they have so much wrong and are obviously just protecting their pocket book right now. Hopefully this leads to banning the cheats next but doubt ful. Next let's face it you are most likely just jealous of Kyle and are always on here bashing him for his success, along with that i have no pitty for him for getting an account banned for buying 3rd party stubs.

Aren't they just going to create another account?
Yes, but now they can't buy cheap stubs or do anything they think will risk another ban. They NEED to get back on SDS's good side to pay the mortgage (YFK's exact words, not mine). They'll still have followers for sure, but you can see it in their eyes. They are going to finally take it down a notch or five.
Agreed, to really send a message I think a few IP bans need to placed.
I watched the pathetic video apology that YFK put out. I had to laugh, he said he's taking accountability for what he did and the proceeds to excuse his behavior by saying it's basically SDS's fault for the poorly ran game this year and proceeds to say that SDS isn't protecting their customers all the while his promotion of the stub transfer site(I'm not naming the site because I don't want to promote it) gets most of his followers who bought stubs from that site banned.
Hello pot my name is kettle and your black comes to mind.
An IP ban needs to start with that @ssclown.
Is SDS perfect or has been good this year.... no it's been extremely frustrating but what SDS has done in the last few days has begun to restore my trust and faith in them. I hope they keep the good fight up. I hope this is the beginning of true change back to what made them great!
OMG you took the words right out of my mouth! Check out Gatzbii's new video. He says word for word what YFK said. Same exact list of contradictions and EVERYTHING. Either this stub company or YFK scripted this for them in the group chat. I don't know which is worse! LOL

Unrelated but havent seen a "wanna boost" message in events since the bans.

@rkr789_MLBTS I have it turned on so u need to add me as a friend to message me. And I had a kid pause spamming and spamming me with friend requests earlier I wouldn’t accept so he just left.
I know what he wanted. -
IDK why we haven't heard publicly from MLB or Daddy Sony on these cheating and manipulation issues. After all it is their product and license that is being manipulated.

@Sarge1387_PSN my thoughts exactly

Now that you mention it, this is the first event I completed without anyone asking to boost. I even thought it was odd.

lol I caved and watched. There is just no way this is real life:
“I consulted my Twitch chat [of 12 year olds] and they assured me it’s okay. [so really that means your bans are all entirely your own faults for telling me it’s okay].”
(To avoid any confusion the brackets are reading between the lines)I feel like he’s memeing or something. I can’t believe a grown man would think this way.

The word that applies to describe this behavior is "mendacious." People who cheat in a video game are disturbed in serious ways. A video game after all is fantasy. I repeat that word because, sadly, there are just way too many humans who fail to grasp the truth that ALL video games are FANTASY.
Therefore, to cheat to play a video game is cheap and vain to extremes, but when it violates clearly established copyrights and protection of intellectual property, then it is also criminal. Don't seek integrity from those who willingly commit crimes. Yes, there is the one in a million case where a person commits a crime out of desperation. But, even that fails to apply here, as again we are talking about a fantasy game -- hardly the stuff of putting food on your family's table!
These people desperately need a "get real" moment. This banning might be one. But, mendacious deflection is where they hang their hats first. As I wrote before, we will never read words written by any of these banned people saying, "I was banned for violating SDS terms of service and I earned the ban."

I can't tell if they think they are smart or just think their followers are dumb. Both?
They basically say stub resales have been happening since 2021. This was around the time they all said come hang w/ me and play this game because it's not like EA or 2K in here. So, then they proceed to steal from and then encourage others to steal from this particular company of all companies and THEN say it's all SDS's fault because they have been dropping the ball since around...wait for it...2021!
Maybe SDS had to make cuts and drop all the balls because of you...?!?! Ever think of that? Just had to skim off their stubs income because money from streaming their product just wasn't enough. Then, they get banned and essentially ask their followers to ask "Why would SDS do this?" LOL
It might all be related. The WBC glitch meant more to them because they made money off of selling/transferring the stubs. They encouraged their followers to do the glitch because they most likely get a cut any stub transfers gained through their sponsorship. They might even have been buying stubs to get the best cards to stream with. I highly doubt SDS bans a single account because of a sponsorship. They did it because the stub transactions are all on their ledger for that account, and if not, the consoles/IP addresses with a password change right after a significant boost in stubs is all there. Not very smart. Especially if they did do it on their main accounts...? Yikes! Cheating software might also be related because that's how you farm the cards/stubs to sell.
Why SDS waited this long is beyond me. Maybe it finally got to a critical mass when...wait for it...streamers took the sponsorships (which are still apparently active if you look at the YouTube comments). If anything, this has been entertaining!

Show zone put out a tweet of the company asking them over and over again if they would be interested in being sponsored. They turned them down over and over again. Good folks over there at showzone

This is nothing new. Is there any game that has an in game market and virtual currency that won't ban you for purchasing from 3rd parties?
Gold sellers are a bane on most MMOs.
