PewDiePie and controversy

Felix has been on the platform for more than 10 years and he has been a catalyst for many drastic changes on the platform and global movements. He had been part of the  catastrophic controversy that had almost ruined the ecosystem of YouTube. But as the years have gone by, PewDiePie himself has changed a lot. 

Felix has been part of or caused many controversies in his career/life. But the worst thing that he has ever done was not directly to a person. He may have made someone’s life very miserable with his action but it wasn’t direct.

Well, the thing is, Felix had severely ruined a person’s character in Tibia. Tibi was one of the most popular online multiplayer games in Sweden back in the early 2000s. It had a massive following and player base that actually interacted outside of the game, in the real world, to exchange in-game items and other actions.

The “Worst” thing that PewDiePie has done to someone 

The players would sell their in-game items to the highest bidders online and meet to exchange the goods in return for money. The young mischievous PewDiePie once saw a great opportunity to gain some cash without losing anything.

Young Felix and his friends told a buyer once to meet them in a Netcafe where they conduct the exchange. The plan was simple: they would meet and log in using the NetCafe computer, exchange the item, take the money and leave. But the poor buyer didn’t know what was waiting for him. 

Felix devised a devilish plan. He installed software on the NetCafe computer and stole the person’s login details for the game. At first, they had planned to just take the items they had given him and log off. But the little devils went further. 

Felix and his friends stole all the gear that the player had and killed his character so many times that it lost all its levels and then stranded it on a rookie island. At the end of his confession, Felix apologized to the person and agreed that something was very “Wrong” with him.

In the end, all we and Felix can hope for is that the person wasn’t affected by his actions too much. But looking at the amount of grinding it took in the old game such as Tibia, the sentiment may not be very true.
