"As a YouTuber Jarvis could have chosen not to be paid for his tearful post - but paid adverts were still appearing on his page," the Mail says. The Mail does not seem to like the fact Kaye has made quite a lot of money from playing Fortnite and making YouTube videos - irrespective of whether the paper agrees with the severity of Epic's punishment. The headline reads: "British Fortnite gamer FaZe Jarvis, 17, given life ban for cheating 'made another £20,000' from his tearful YouTube apology video."
In an article published this week, the Mail ran a piece focusing on the amount of money Kaye may have made from his apology video, including quotes from his mother, and estimated the value of their family home. Interestingly, the British tabloids have pounced on this story, with The Sun and the Daily Mail in particular going hard on the teen. In the video, which has seen nearly 9.5m views, Kaye insists he used the aimbot in a non-competitive game mode with an alternative account in order to create entertainment for his fans, and claims to have been unaware of the consequences of his actions. Kaye took to YouTube, where he has 2.1m subscribers, to publish a tearful apology. This week, Epic gave 17-year-old Brit Jarvis Kaye, aka Fortnite pro FaZe Jarvis, a lifetime ban from the game for using an aimbot. Analysts estimate that his apology video earned him $25,000 to $50,000 in ad revenue.We're used to the British tabloids attacking Fortnite for turning the nation's children into monsters, but now they're attacking Fortnite players for making money from the game. He later apologized for his actions, noting that he had been unaware of the consequences. Jarvis reportedly filmed the games in which he cheated as instructional videos for fans. Several gaming stars like Ninja, Dr Disrespect, xQc, and FaZe Banks have asked Epic to reconsider the ban, but it seems the publisher has not been swayed.Īfter the ban, Epic released a statement that read, "We have a zero-tolerance policy for the usage of cheat software." Aimbots are cheat software that automatically aim weapons, which gives the user an unfair advantage. Although he tried to hide his tag, Epic soon caught on to his attempts to stream again on Twitch. On September 11, 2020, he announced that he would return to play Fortnite on Twitch even though his ban had not yet been lifted. Although he wasn’t competing, Epic decided to ban Jarvis from the game permanently, which ended his Fortnite career. Epic banned the FaZe Clan creator after he uploaded numerous videos in which he used an aimbot in matches on his alt account.
