The reason behind it was a lot more innocent than some fans had hoped. Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel is one of Twitch\u2019s most popular streamers, with a follower count of over 4.4 million. Thanks to the sheer amount of streaming he does, it\u2019s no wonder that on a daily basis something dramatic or hilarious ends up happening while live. This time, people thought Felix had really messed up when he accidentally revealed his computer screen mid-stream. Lengyel made matters worse by appearing to panic as the screen showed, probably just worried that something private might have shown accidentally. xQc explained that he has a push to mute, and when he clicked it, it ended up pulling up a screen full of files. The names of the folders included \u2018Battery,\u2019 \u201cBit and Sub Badge Files,\u2019 along with games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Fall Guys. It didn\u2019t take long for one folder to catch viewers\u2019 attention though: one labeled \u2018Cheats.\u2019 Almost as soon as the page opened it was closed, but chat managed to catch on to the suspiciously named folder and flooded xQc with comments about it. Read More: Who is CodeMiko? &#8211; Felix then went on to explain why exactly the folder is named that, and it was a lot less incriminating than it initially looked. \u201cIt\u2019s Minecraft mod packs. I have a \u2018cheat\u2019 folder, that\u2019s just how it works.\u201d After a moment of thinking he said \u201cah it\u2019s actually not even Minecraft. It\u2019s Pokemon. I\u2019m dumb, it\u2019s actually Pokemon.\u201d \u201cWhenever you download a game like Pokemon and you have a randomizer, and your randomizer, there\u2019s something called \u2018cheats,\u2019 and those cheats are like to make the game different,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf you\u2019re doing a certain run, you have to use a cheats folder. It\u2019s called cheats because you\u2019re cheating the game, you\u2019re cheating it. Either to make it harder, or easier.\u201d That didn\u2019t stop the chat making jokes about the accidental reveal, but at least Felix\u2019s explanation illuminated the real reason he has a folder labeled cheats on his computer. Read More: Twitch unbans Forsen &#8211; Using any kind of cheats or hacks in games is actually against Twitch\u2019s community guidelines (not to mention likely to get you banned from the game as well). So, of course, xQc will stay well away from anything untoward when gaming. But, mods are allowed on Twitch, provided it doesn\u2019t \u201cgive the account owner an unfair advantage in an online multiplayer game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>xQc explains himself after leaking \u201ccheats\u201d folder on his PC YouTube: xQcOWPopular streamer xQc ended up having to explain why he had a folder labeled \u201ccheats\u201d on his PC after he accidentally revealed his folder menu screen live on stream.
