The French-Canadian streamer has found himself in hot water before, having been banned on Twitch for a number of reasons including stream sniping and broadcasting explicit material on his channel. “In the week that the OfflineTV Rust server has been active, there has been conflict between some of the participants, but most of this seems to revolve around controversial streamer Felix 'xQc' Lengyel. It’s created endless drama and discussion points in the celebrity streamer world, as explained by this Gamerant piece, which almost feels like TMZ-level reporting: The reason for this seems to be simple - streamer/influencer collective OfflineTV created a private Rust server, and invited a whole bunch of big streamers to play concurrently on it.
