FaZe Sway loses Fortnite creator code over account sharing FaZe Sway \/ Epic GamesFortnite star FaZe Sway has revealed that his Support a Creator Code, which allows players to give him a percentage of their in-game purchases, has been taken away permanently. Popular Fortnite player and YouTube star FaZe Sway has made a name for himself in the competitive scene as one of the best controller players, but now he\u2019s revealed that his Creator Code has been removed by Epic Games. With the Support A Creator program, players can elect to support their favorite creators every time they spend V-Bucks in the game. This gives content creators another way of making money alongside the traditional methods like streaming and videos. In a pair of tweets from July 20, 2021, FaZe Sway told his 1.4 million followers that his Support a Creator Code had been taken away \u201cpermanently\u201d, but also said that he \u201cneeded this [to happen] as a wakeup call\u201d. just got my support a creator code taken away permanently pic.twitter.com\/eJjj09IlaF \u2014 sway (@swaywtw) July 20, 2021 lowkey needed this as a wake up call, bouta start going crazy on everything now. \u2014 sway (@swaywtw) July 20, 2021 The tweets included a screenshot of an email sent by an Epic Games employee which explained that he was removed \u201cdue to violations of the Terms of Service you agreed upon when joining the program\u201d. While the FaZe Clan member didn\u2019t share the reason why it was removed on Twitter, he later opened up about what happened during a Fortnite stream on Twitch. Apparently, the removal of his Support a Creator Code occurred because he was account sharing with viewers, and not for comments he\u2019d made on social media as some followers had previously speculated. Account sharing is against Epic Games\u2019 terms of use, with their website clearly stating: \u201cAccount buying, selling, or sharing is not allowed.\u201d Despite this being a significant source of income for many content creators, FaZe Sway doesn\u2019t seem too bothered about the removal \u2013 he even told viewers that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t really care\u201d about it while streaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
