Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg has once again come under heavy fire, this time after he used a racial slur during his most recent livestream (proof of which can be found here), and after Firewatch creator Sean Vanaman noticed PewDiePie's latest performance, he decided to take action and block PewDiePie's coverage of Campo Santo's games.
PewDiePie's coverage of the developer's most recent game Firewatch last year must've boosted the sales of the adventure by a good number, as Vanaman admitted in his Tweets. However, he couldn't bear Kjellberg's excesses anymore and therefore explained that Campo Santo is about to cut off every piece of content PewDiePie has done using the developer's current and coming IPs.
Over the course of yesterday evening, a popular Let's Play series of Firewatch had already been taken down on Kjellberg's YouTube channel.
"We're filing a DMCA takedown of PewDiePie's Firewatch content and any future Campo Santo games," Vanaman said on Twitter.
"He's worse than a closeted racist: he's a propagator of despicable garbage that does real damage to the culture around this industry."
"Freedom of speech is freedom of prosecution. His stream is not commentary, it is ad growth for his brand. Our game on his channel =endorsement."
This isn't the first time PewDiePie has come under fire, as earlier this year he was dropped by his big business partner Disney after controversial reports of anti-Semetic jokes. Soon after that incident, PewDiePie started to lose his influencer top spot in the eyes of the renowned Forbes magazine.
