Bizarre petition attempts to ban PewDiePie from Apex Legends for no reason A petition that wanted YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg banned from battle royale game Apex Legends, for no apparent reason whatsoever, has been removed from popular petition website Change.org. PewDiePie is currently the most subscribed individual YouTuber on the platform (currently 2nd overall to Indian production company T-Series), but he is almost as controversial as he is popular. He started his YouTube career focused mainly on gaming, and also occasionally live streams games, including battle royales like PUBG and Fortnite. But, a petition, titled simply \u201cBan PewDiePie from Apex Legends\u201d had claimed that \u201cPewDiePie has RUINED EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES! keep him away from a great game like Apex Legends!\u201d What makes the petition so bizarre, is that PewDiePie has never played Apex Legends in any of his videos, or streamed, or shown any interest in doing so for that matter. Still, the creator of this protest stated that having the Swedish YouTuber play the game would be a \u201cdeath sentence\u201d for Apex Legends. Unsurprisingly, the petition did not receive much support, with less than 300 signatures, and now it has been taken down. Although Change.org does not specify if it was removed for violating community guidelines, this is likely the case. Of course, even if the petition had picked up some momentum, it\u2019s very unlikely EA or Respawn Entertainment would have cared. Banning the most popular YouTuber on the planet from playing your game despite having done absolutely nothing to deserve it, would be a monumental PR disaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
