Epic permanently bans renowned Fortnite leaker HYPEX for incident 3 years ago Epic GamesEpic Games have elected to permanently ban renowned Fortnite leaker HYPEX for an incident that happened three years ago. In a bizarre turn of events, Epic Games have permanently banned popular Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, for breaking the game\u2019s rules in 2018. This comes in the wake of a similarly obscure ban during the FNCS, where 100 Thieves\u2019 team (led by MrSavage) were banned mid-match, ultimately losing them a whole host of points just when they needed them. The leaker has expressed his disappointment on Twitter, and is pleading with the gaming behemoth to overturn the ban. HYPEX permanently banned from Fortnite In a Twitter post from September 9, HYPEX informed their following that they had been permanently banned from the game for \u201caccount transferring\u201d in 2018, now three years ago. \u201cEpic said I\u2019m permabanned for \u2018Account Transferring,’\u201d they lament. \u201cAll because my friend gave me his account in 2018 when I lost mine. After all the love that I gave the game since the start and sticking with it during its highs & ups, I get this for a simple mistake I didn\u2019t know about. \u201cNobody knows how much I truly love the game,\u201d they continue. \u201cAnd I can name MANY reasons why my ban is beyond unfair, I already told some of those reasons to Epic in private hoping they\u2019ll reconsider this but seems like I\u2019ll get ignored again.\u201d Nobody knows how much I truly love the game. And I can name MANY reasons why my ban is beyond unfair, I already told some of those reasons to Epic in private hoping they’ll reconsider this but seems like I’ll get ignored again. Thanks to everyone who tried to help, love y’all \u2764\ufe0f \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 9, 2021 Their original tweet has accrued over 13k upvotes at the time of writing, with the comments section awash in fellow players supporting their attempts to get the account unbanned. Two hashtags have also been set up to try and wield the power of social media, with fans of his content rallying behind #FreeHYPEX and #UnbanHYPEX. While both HYPEX and the larger community are clearly devastated by Epic\u2019s decision, they\u2019ll need to wait and see what the future holds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
