Mr Beast explains why he won\u2019t replace young streamer\u2019s destroyed PC Popular YouTuber Jimmy \u2018Mr Beast\u2019 Donaldson has explained why he won\u2019t be replacing the destroyed PC of a child who was tricked by an impersonator. The streamer, known on the site as rogue07, was playing and broadcasting Fortnite from his $1,200 PC, when a Twitch user appeared in his chat pretending to be Donaldson. The account claimed that if the child destroyed his PC, they would send him a brand new computer worth $5,000. Rogue07, believing this to be Mr Beast, proceeded to destroy his computer in a bathtub, before finding out that the Twitch user was a hoax account. Since then, many have wondered if the YouTuber would offer to replace the PC for the child, as Mr Beast is well known for his generosity. This will not be the case, as Donaldson released a statement to Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem explaining that he wouldn\u2019t be able to buy the child a new PC, and why couldn\u2019t do it. \u201cI feel bad about it,\u201d wrote Mr Beast. \u201cBut unfortunately I don\u2019t want to replace it and start a trend of people breaking things in hope of me fixing it.\u201d \u201cIf Twitch would simply verify me, this would all be fixed. I\u2019ve gotten hundreds of millions of views from donating to people on their platform, so it makes no sense not to.\u201d For the YouTuber, publically replacing the child\u2019s computer may put him in a difficult situation, as some may attempt to take advantage of his giving spirit to profit off of him, and could also paint him in a bad light to some fans if another viewer fell for this trick and Mr Beast declined to fix it. While Mr Beast will not be replacing the destroyed PC, the streamer\u2019s mother posted on Twitter to confirm that she would be \u201cfixing the situation.\u201d As stupid as it looks to most of you- my son and his friends thought this was some guy they follow- it wasn\u2019t. We screwed up his PC- and it\u2019s up to mama to fix the situation. That\u2019s it!
