A rather baffled PewDiePie has addressed his banning from gaming platform Roblox as he live streamed a session on YouTube in his quest to beat T-Series.

The YouTuber – real name Felix Kjellberg – has been on a mission to make sure he remains at the top of the subscriber pile after the Indian music label’s channel stormed a mighty following towards the end of last year, and after figuring ‘desperate times calls for desperate measures’, the 29-year-old Swede took to his channel armed with nothing but his Roblox account and some mighty spirit.

Putting together a pretty popular game on the service, he roped in tens of thousands of people playing alongside him. It’s a touch short of the 300k odd that played Fortnite, but it’s better than nothing.

However, in a turn of events the YouTuber has now been banned from Roblox – even though it’s safe to say he would have introduced many more punters to the game than before.



Pretty peeved off with the ban, Pewds, masquerading as his Pew News alter ego Gloria Borger said he didn’t understand the ban as they claimed he ‘violated the terms of service.’

After repeating some outraged fans he sarcastically quipped it was one of the ‘most grave offences in our modern society’.

‘I watched the whole livestream, I don’t remember saying anything bad. What did I do that was so bad?’ he said incredulously.

‘You may say to yourself Pewds was having fun playing with his fans, there was nothing wrong with that I did.’

He then said others who had called out PewDiePie online were banned from the site – including a guy who created a ‘sub to PewDiePie’ t-shirt on their own account.

Felix then discovered he was banned, apparently, for ‘linking to inappropriate websites’, however, as he researched in their small print ‘they even say themselves they are not responsible for their own [the YouTubers’] content,’ even though he claimed that is why they were banning him.

‘Okay, well then you need to ban 90% of people on YouTube like Logan Paul …for saying inappropriate things,’ he fumed. ‘It’s the same thing.’

He added: ‘It’s annoying that fans that want to support me literally get their account deleted for adding ‘sub to PewDiePie’.

Feigning seriousness for a second, he said: ‘I supported you, I made the biggest Roblox livestream and I think a lot of people can benefit from your game, but I’ve changed my mind and I’m really angry.’

In turns, Pewds, who has over 85million subscribers, asked for his account to be reinstated, ‘with at least 500 Roblox as an apology and a written apology saying subscribe to PewDiePie so I know you don’t support T-series in this.’

Roblox staff previously wrote on YouTube: ‘PewDiePie is no longer permitted on Roblox due to his content redirecting to unsafe and inappropriate sites/channels, as well as continued inappropriate behavior, that would not be permitted on Roblox, on his own channel. (sic)’

Guess the war is only just beginning. Here’s hoping it scores him a few more subscribers in the mission.
