If you don't know what I am talking about, the PUBG reddit has been blowing up recently due to a player getting a 7 day ban for killing a popular Twitch streamer. The streamer argued they were "stream sniping" which alone is nearly impossible to prove. The official statement from PLAYERUNKNOWN™© even agrees:

But a ban was still handed out.
Now the argument against this has a few different layers:
- Should stream sniping even be a bannable offense?
- Should streamers go out of their way to protect themselves such as adding a delay?
- Is Bluehole trusting streamers too much due to their free advertising?
And I know us duders, in general, are not big on the youtuber/streamer scene but I can't help but feel these streamers are acting way too entitled. If you are showing everyone where you are, expect to get murdered (in game).
