SypherPK Disappointed as Epic Games Bans this Feature in Fortnite

Over the years, several content creators and millions of casual players have become a part of the Fortnite community. Even though both these factions have played an equally important role in the game’s success, their demands from the developers have been contrasting lately.
Creators and pros expect a weaker SBMM system in Fortnite and want the developers to strengthen the competitive scene constantly. On the flip side, casual players want the game to be more relaxing and less biased towards competitive players.
Owing to these differences, a lot of creators and pros could only interact with their vast audience through custom games. However, these events were usually exclusive for Twitch subscribers or YouTube members.

SypherPK looks forward to having better moderation tools and custom settings while hosting games. This includes the authority to ban players that intentionally ruin the fun for others.
“Honestly, with this rule change, I don’t think I can ever do custom games unless Epic actually gives us the ability to remove people who are griefing and messing up our matches.”
