As someone who started playing Sea of Thieves way back in March 2018, I am disappointed to see how low Rare has fallen. What they have done is simply not right.
@@FunnyFreak_ well sea of thieves is great but its how rare is handling things with their community, the content creators they partnered and how they abuse copyright systems.... it had nothing to do with them not making games for nintendo lol
been a pirate since the beta love the game butt its so disapointing to see where the game has ended up every year i felt the game getting worse and worse and then they started turning against theyre own community... ur not allowed to pirate ur not allowed to kill ur not allowed to chase people down ur only allowed to fly the multi coloured flag and form alliances anything else if u get reported ''ur working against theyre COC'' its a shame to see a game this great go down the drain butt im hoping and waiting for the next pirate game not filled with people that get theyre feelings hurt assoon as they see another boat. servers in SOT used to be close to COD lobby's back in the day now u get galled a N..... or a F..... or whatever just for being in theyre vacinity
Sea of thieves is an amazing game and rare is not a bad company, I think rare will apologise and make things right although the UA-camr was constantly toxic and had it coming, the permanent ban was too far though, I also think the main problem is dodgy employees in there banning and guidelines as proven with the email sent to the UA-camr
You have not been able to go afk for a extended period of time on twitch for a very long time now. This is not a recent thing. I know of people having issues back in 2016 and 17 during cod zombies games. When a game takes over 60hours it was common to pause and go afk to sleep.
wanna know somethin interesting... idiot at rare made it so hitbotc has a 0% chance of shrouded ghost spawning on him, just because they dont like him. may be fixed now but a few month's ago i know for a fact that was the case
man im so happy the theb situation is finally being adressed. So many people talking shit when he first reached out for help on X. Thanks dudes, Theb is literally the reason i push myself to get better at SoT.
@@orbit1894”and use in game exploits to have an advantage over other players” that’s literally just a skill issue at that point, I barely touch the game but I’ve been playing on and off for 3 years and I’ve learned to pick up the new and leave the old exploits, anyone can learn to use them lmfao. Not our fault that they’re in the game.
If these videos don’t solicit some sort of response from rare I think I know what will. I won’t be buying cosmetics from their precious emporium ever again, and I encourage you all to do the same.
As someone who loves SoT and has been playing since launch day, This whole Theb situation has opened my eyes to what exactly rare is doing and how much they care about the community. I have officially uninstalled SoT and refuse to play it or support rare in any way, shape, or form and I urge many more to take this same approach.

I purchased Sea of Thieves in April 2018. I did not play with other people at first and was a solo sloop. Even as much as another ship going up to me freaked me out. Eventually I would try public crews on bigs and galleons and even later have friends who wanted to play the game, but by then I had began to lose interest in the game and so for all I played with them I did not play a lot. Little did I know that if my account was banned, I would never be allowed to play again, even if my only offense was simply creating a new account to play the game. Rare seems to think bans should not be bypassed, and if you cross them in a big way, they will use any means to hurt you.
Rare is not the ONLY company that does this. Sega have done the same thing to a UA-camr named Syberbolt for simply criticizing their game Phantasy Star Online 2. Technicals video of ‘How a Sega Employee’s 4chan broke a community’ explains how Sega does the same thing, even banning anyone that mentions him or their videos. People need to be aware of Developer hypocrisy, favoritism, and unprofessional behavior. Both companies violated their own terms of service to avoid solving the problem which get this… SAVES THEM MONEY. It’s a CORPORATE MOVE.

@@netherwarrior6113 they don't want us talking or posting about the situation, but this is my personal account so I'm going to.

this is the entire reason I stopped playing the game. I play from time to time with friends, but I just refuse to support a company like rare. I have seen many of my friends get banned indefinitely. Little side note pretty good video you delivered your points across very well.
Thanks for informing a bit more on the topic! On a note about the outro: Maybe remove the "si" (source identifier) tag from youtube links, as it contains data where the link was pulled from from. UA-cam uses it to simply collect more data. Only the part between "/" and "?" is the actual video ID
i will watch every video made about these issues. anybody who plays sea of thieves long enough will see the clear lack of professional standards from rare.
Just as a headsup to anyone planning on using the sot discord. Don’t even mention theb at all, i was just looking in the general part of it and happened to see someone mention it, i commented and got permanently banned from the server for “being in support of breaking TOS”
I love the vids on this topic. Absolutely hate what they did to theb. Regardless of what you think of his bans and whether he deserves them, he does, Rare is absolutely being petty by doing this. They’re guilty of harassment, bullying and abuse of DMCA
@@Brreeze that being said I’m not opposed to the notion that people can, and in his case have, changed and deserve second chances. He may be a goofball, maybe even a troll, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be allowed to redeem himself. Rare is just ran by a bunch of ego driven losers who can’t forgive anyone. Having influencers as part of your mod team, Mutinous Mel and Owly, also doesn’t look good.
How did a company of seemingly joyless, hate-fueled people create this game I love? Rare is gone mad with the absolute power they have over their community.
I started SOT in 2019 . I feel disappointed seeing how pathetic Rare has become . From being able to save a game with one of the poorest launches to resorting in such pitiful ways to stop people from playing their game is just heartbreaking
I always knew that these guys were just a bunch of furry control freaks. I got banned indefinitely from their discord by a power hungry mod named Badger. it’s similar to those vr chat mods you see trying to flex the little power they have.
No thebs original ban is definitely deserved. It's unfortunate that the theb situation only went viral to the larger community mostly after thebs explanation video was re-uploaded on cruds channel because it edits out important context from the original video that theb uploaded to his channel and most people making videos about don't seem to know the full story. The original video is much longer. These are the 3 reasons for his first ever ban in SoT. 1) In the re-upload he just casually mentions that the stream he sniped was an arena match but in the original video, he goes into great detail about it and it's much more serious. The arena match was a planned tournament of top players. Even Rare was helping set it up. The winners got a real $$$ prize so the stakes were high. Theb stream sniped someone in the match to share where the streamers crew were going for their next dig spots and stuff. This made a huge impact on the streamers crews ability to dig up their loot because the enemy knew ahead of time to cut them off. He sais he didn't know the seriousness of stream sniping but I think anyone 15 with a brain can tell that this is cheating and more serious than if it was just any old arena match. 2) The link to cheats in his bio was a fake looking SoT link but it took you to a real Minecraft cheat client website. Rare didn't say he was banned for advertizing sea of thieves cheats, they said cheats in general. The cheats the link took you to were legit so the ban reason is true. 3) Toxicity to both Rare and players. I've been watching theb since his early Ark days before he played SoT.. Anyone who has seen his earlier SoT content knows he used to talk extremely rudely to people being both sexist and racist and he would say some pretty strong words about Rare too, which only got worse after his ban and further solidifying his punishment. He would almost always bucket the enemies ship to keep them from sinking for more tdm which is Rares definition of spawn camping. Theb admitted himself that he deleted a lot of early SoT footage to clean up his image when his viewership grew to a certain point.. but the damage was already done and Rare caught him on it before he stopped. Take any 1 of those 3 reasons and it's still enough to be banned. The dude has ban evaded so many times that I question his sanity. His obsessions with playing this one game is unhealthy. He argues that Rare wastes their time hunting down his new accounts but really he's making them waste their time. They would be nuts to let someone desperate for even a second on the seas for 5 years to get back into their game permanently. Now let me debunk some popular arguments. -Just because he sais he'll be nice now doesn't excuse what has already happened. -Just because other people haven't been taken out yet doesn't mean he can break those rules. Theb just happened to be the guy they banned and it's only a bigger thing than other players bans because he's made a big enough stink about it to make it viral and now it's like a repeating story that gets less and less true every time I hear a youtuber talk about it. -The person who banned theb while he was fighting a hacker was tasked with taking out thebs account at that specific moment and not analyze his stream to take out everyone he comes across that breaks a rule. Did anyone record and report that other player? did anyone check X amount of time later to see if that hacker s banned? No they only see that the other person wasn't also immediately banned too and jump on the sheep wagon of hating the corporation. I genuinely enjoy thebs content. His wabungus video was absolutely hilarious.. but Rare caught him fare and square and can take whatever level of punishment they want. The DMCA strikes make sense when his YT and Twitch channels have been centered around SoT for years now and he's not even supposed to be able to get in-game to get content anyways. The % of the community just blindly biased by the way youtubers talk about this issue is striking. I watched this all unfold in real time by actually watching theb way back then. His audience was too small at the time for enough of us to still be around and speak the truth on the finer details that everyone is missing. (Edits for spelling mistakes)
"rules for thee, not for me" I'm almost certain is a motto growing within Rare at this point, the growing pile of evidence of it points me that way. Rare doesn't have to follow microsoft TOS to completely obliterate some guys channel, Rare doesn't need to restrain themselves from hurling "keep yourself safe" to people sinking them in-game, Rare can freely threaten children's access to the game for annoying them, Rare can withhold ban reasons and tell their confused customers "welp, you know exactly what you did, this is non-negotiable", Rare can harbor actual criminals in their partner program because they never did anything wrong in-game, Rare can spy in the discord servers of those they don't like, the list goes on... There's a great many reasons why I lost all my trust and respect for Rare, and no amount of future banger games will help me forget the atrocities committed in the SOT days.
Rare has always been shady, we dont ever know who is really in control. This makes me fear for the game health as a whole if they are this petty and cruel. They must not care about their game.
How is it possible that nobody does anything about these people from rare? I've never seen community managers allow themselves to do such things in my life: banning players because they killed a streamer, BANNING PLAYERS WHO WERE ON THE SAME DISCORD AS OTHER BANNED PERSONS (when I found out about this it blew my mind), acts of hypocrisy etc. Community managers are a bunch of kids with too much power. Remember with great power comes great responsibility, people from rare lack one of these things. (rare partners are joke btw)
I feel this the sea of thieves support and customer service team is dogshit. My account with 4k hours was randomly banned on launch day of season 12 and i sent in countless tickets to get help or find out what i did. All they responded with was that I was caught using third party cheats (which is impossible) and they would not further elaborate on how they came to this conclusion or what exactly I did and now do not respond to my tickets. While I got it no where near as bad as Theb I feel for him cause the rare team is complete ass.
I honestly hope this rises into legality and courts. I dont even care that much about theb's channel, but do a little. I just think a company should not be allowed to do the things rare does, it sets a dangerous precedent. Threatening a child with his parents info, having favorites amongst their community, a vague list of rules among others, it is the most unprofessional behavior I have seen from a organization of any size and the fact it is so closely tied to microsoft is vile and makes me mistrust microsoft even more.
@@Chellzie I doubt it’ll go to courts. Theb is like 19 and has no job, do you think he’ll be able to afford legal costs in a case versus rare/microsoft?
@@yoshyfoods Again its not even theb that this is about. Obviously not. But I do think a bunch of people who have spent money on a game and been fasley banned could do a class action law suit or something. Even if they dont win microsofts name would be tarnished
After Sea of Thieves inevitably dies. I don't really see Rare coming out with another hit game. The game has only gotten worse over the years, with more bugs/glitches/server crashes. Even now they're WEEKS BEHIND on fully releasing Season 14 content. Feel like there are more videos that are Anti-Rare and Exposing SoT Issues & How Broken The Game Is. Personally as a Season 1 player, I'm back to playing other games that are NOT SoT. I regrettably have like $20 in Ancient Coins, which I know isn't much. But with hindsight, I regret ever putting an extra dollar beyond the $25 I spent back in 2019.
So sad to see what SoT has come to. Was such a good game ruined by pure incompetence and horrible practices. Dumbing down the game by removing all "exploits" was the start of the end for this game.
I'll hold up my hands and say I don't particularly like Theb. I don't like the fact that he stream sniped, broke insider's NDA, I do believe he did kind of deserve a game ban as that applies to everybody. But if Rare didn't want him in their game, they should have contacted him and asked him to stop making content on their game, rather than playing dirty. It's really scummy
Well done making videos this reminds me of a Hollywood documentary😂 💯 And yes i do agree that still does rare waist their rescorses, i reported a guy 3 data ago with a CLEAR evedince of tp asp and shooting through Walls. Met the same guy today Even tho rare answerd with that the report was true and they banned him
Given what has happened to Theb and then finding out about Noobface and then some, I genuinely cannot bring myself to support the game in any sense. I cannot play the game knowing that this company is pretty crap when it comes to working with community. Or well...axing the community
They don't own the rights to content made on their IP, but they DO have the right to dictate who they allow to use their IP to make said content. It's been pretty clearly indicated that rare don't want theb near their IP, yet he's persisted in continually breaking TOS and evading those bans. Literally none of the actions rare have taken that you've covered are illegal.
Sadly, even if Rare were to let up on Theb, it is already far too late. Theb losing his whole channel and being pretty much console locked out of the game means he will probably never be able to play, or find a way to trust the game and its company again. Even if he did, he would have to start a new channel and hope that history doesn't repeat, which, with how Rare has been, seems like it would just keep happening
"This one person we don't like was making money off of our ip, so we deleted his career." Nice work rare, you deplatformed one of your biggest content creators over something at this point is just petty, yet hack videos remain, as well as PAID alliance servers, which is against your TOS, but you guys publically admitted you didn't care about that cause you didn't see it as an issue. Internal review and a new way of hiring people, other than twitter posts is needed

I started SOT in 2019 . I feel disappointed seeing how pathetic Rare has become . From being able to save a game with one of the poorest launches to resorting in such pitiful ways to stop people from playing their game is just heartbreaking
I always knew that these guys were just a bunch of furry control freaks. I got banned indefinitely from their discord by a power hungry mod named Badger. it’s similar to those vr chat mods you see trying to flex the little power they have.
the mods are not sentient
Badger is a well known crazy lady.
@@captainshelf7 oh shi I didnt know that ! that’s funny.
Dude literally. They promote LGBTQ and unity and friendliness then are just toxic af to others. Which doesn't suprise me but is very ironic
No thebs original ban is definitely deserved. It's unfortunate that the theb situation only went viral to the larger community mostly after thebs explanation video was re-uploaded on cruds channel because it edits out important context from the original video that theb uploaded to his channel and most people making videos about don't seem to know the full story. The original video is much longer. These are the 3 reasons for his first ever ban in SoT.
1) In the re-upload he just casually mentions that the stream he sniped was an arena match but in the original video, he goes into great detail about it and it's much more serious. The arena match was a planned tournament of top players. Even Rare was helping set it up. The winners got a real $$$ prize so the stakes were high. Theb stream sniped someone in the match to share where the streamers crew were going for their next dig spots and stuff. This made a huge impact on the streamers crews ability to dig up their loot because the enemy knew ahead of time to cut them off. He sais he didn't know the seriousness of stream sniping but I think anyone 15 with a brain can tell that this is cheating and more serious than if it was just any old arena match.
2) The link to cheats in his bio was a fake looking SoT link but it took you to a real Minecraft cheat client website. Rare didn't say he was banned for advertizing sea of thieves cheats, they said cheats in general. The cheats the link took you to were legit so the ban reason is true.
3) Toxicity to both Rare and players. I've been watching theb since his early Ark days before he played SoT.. Anyone who has seen his earlier SoT content knows he used to talk extremely rudely to people being both sexist and racist and he would say some pretty strong words about Rare too, which only got worse after his ban and further solidifying his punishment. He would almost always bucket the enemies ship to keep them from sinking for more tdm which is Rares definition of spawn camping. Theb admitted himself that he deleted a lot of early SoT footage to clean up his image when his viewership grew to a certain point.. but the damage was already done and Rare caught him on it before he stopped.
Take any 1 of those 3 reasons and it's still enough to be banned. The dude has ban evaded so many times that I question his sanity. His obsessions with playing this one game is unhealthy. He argues that Rare wastes their time hunting down his new accounts but really he's making them waste their time. They would be nuts to let someone desperate for even a second on the seas for 5 years to get back into their game permanently.
Now let me debunk some popular arguments.
-Just because he sais he'll be nice now doesn't excuse what has already happened.
-Just because other people haven't been taken out yet doesn't mean he can break those rules. Theb just happened to be the guy they banned and it's only a bigger thing than other players bans because he's made a big enough stink about it to make it viral and now it's like a repeating story that gets less and less true every time I hear a youtuber talk about it.
-The person who banned theb while he was fighting a hacker was tasked with taking out thebs account at that specific moment and not analyze his stream to take out everyone he comes across that breaks a rule. Did anyone record and report that other player? did anyone check X amount of time later to see if that hacker s banned? No they only see that the other person wasn't also immediately banned too and jump on the sheep wagon of hating the corporation. I genuinely enjoy thebs content. His wabungus video was absolutely hilarious.. but Rare caught him fare and square and can take whatever level of punishment they want.
The DMCA strikes make sense when his YT and Twitch channels have been centered around SoT for years now and he's not even supposed to be able to get in-game to get content anyways. The % of the community just blindly biased by the way youtubers talk about this issue is striking. I watched this all unfold in real time by actually watching theb way back then. His audience was too small at the time for enough of us to still be around and speak the truth on the finer details that everyone is missing.
(Edits for spelling mistakes)
Well stated brother
Breeze uploaded guys! You know something seriously bad happened then
Video started off strong af LMAO
"rules for thee, not for me" I'm almost certain is a motto growing within Rare at this point, the growing pile of evidence of it points me that way. Rare doesn't have to follow microsoft TOS to completely obliterate some guys channel, Rare doesn't need to restrain themselves from hurling "keep yourself safe" to people sinking them in-game, Rare can freely threaten children's access to the game for annoying them, Rare can withhold ban reasons and tell their confused customers "welp, you know exactly what you did, this is non-negotiable", Rare can harbor actual criminals in their partner program because they never did anything wrong in-game, Rare can spy in the discord servers of those they don't like, the list goes on...
There's a great many reasons why I lost all my trust and respect for Rare, and no amount of future banger games will help me forget the atrocities committed in the SOT days.

Rare has always been shady, we dont ever know who is really in control. This makes me fear for the game health as a whole if they are this petty and cruel. They must not care about their game.
There are some toxic people in sea of thieves
I will never play another rare game. I had 1400 hours in SOT
like and share so this video reach more people
I don't even play SoT, thanks for giving me reasons to avoid starting.
How is it possible that nobody does anything about these people from rare? I've never seen community managers allow themselves to do such things in my life: banning players because they killed a streamer, BANNING PLAYERS WHO WERE ON THE SAME DISCORD AS OTHER BANNED PERSONS (when I found out about this it blew my mind), acts of hypocrisy etc. Community managers are a bunch of kids with too much power. Remember with great power comes great responsibility, people from rare lack one of these things. (rare partners are joke btw)
I feel this the sea of thieves support and customer service team is dogshit. My account with 4k hours was randomly banned on launch day of season 12 and i sent in countless tickets to get help or find out what i did. All they responded with was that I was caught using third party cheats (which is impossible) and they would not further elaborate on how they came to this conclusion or what exactly I did and now do not respond to my tickets. While I got it no where near as bad as Theb I feel for him cause the rare team is complete ass.
Breeze is always the goat ❤
yes let the word spred ascros the platforms, we need to make rare to see this and know the true meaning off freedom
I honestly hope this rises into legality and courts. I dont even care that much about theb's channel, but do a little. I just think a company should not be allowed to do the things rare does, it sets a dangerous precedent. Threatening a child with his parents info, having favorites amongst their community, a vague list of rules among others, it is the most unprofessional behavior I have seen from a organization of any size and the fact it is so closely tied to microsoft is vile and makes me mistrust microsoft even more.
@@Chellzie I doubt it’ll go to courts. Theb is like 19 and has no job, do you think he’ll be able to afford legal costs in a case versus rare/microsoft?
@@yoshyfoods Again its not even theb that this is about. Obviously not. But I do think a bunch of people who have spent money on a game and been fasley banned could do a class action law suit or something. Even if they dont win microsofts name would be tarnished
Fries. Bag. Now.
mfs went so far they made breeze come out of retirement 🙏
After Sea of Thieves inevitably dies. I don't really see Rare coming out with another hit game. The game has only gotten worse over the years, with more bugs/glitches/server crashes. Even now they're WEEKS BEHIND on fully releasing Season 14 content.
Feel like there are more videos that are Anti-Rare and Exposing SoT Issues & How Broken The Game Is.
Personally as a Season 1 player, I'm back to playing other games that are NOT SoT. I regrettably have like $20 in Ancient Coins, which I know isn't much. But with hindsight, I regret ever putting an extra dollar beyond the $25 I spent back in 2019.
I’ve been personally boycotting rare and sea of thieves, I received a ban for pirating.
It's definitely personal; Rare is playing favourites. And I hate it so much. I surely lost interest in the game since the Theb situation.
So sad to see what SoT has come to. Was such a good game ruined by pure incompetence and horrible practices. Dumbing down the game by removing all "exploits" was the start of the end for this game.
Breeze the new BayThanger?
Posted this on Rare's main Sea of Thieves server on Discord, I'm expecting to get banned lol. But yeah, Rare is hypocrites.
poor the. shits unreal
Theb will go down in history for sot downfall
I feel like atp a class action should be filed and Rare should lose the IP
i havent watched the vid yet
Amazing video I wish I knew how to make something this good❤
Its been so long 🥲🥲
Too long
1. Rare is now more focused on running a business, then maintaining a video game.
And
2. Rare are a bunch of European snowflakes.
I'll hold up my hands and say I don't particularly like Theb. I don't like the fact that he stream sniped, broke insider's NDA, I do believe he did kind of deserve a game ban as that applies to everybody. But if Rare didn't want him in their game, they should have contacted him and asked him to stop making content on their game, rather than playing dirty. It's really scummy
This game is such a missed opportunity
Typical Breeze W
Well done making videos this reminds me of a Hollywood documentary😂 💯
And yes i do agree that still does rare waist their rescorses, i reported a guy 3 data ago with a CLEAR evedince of tp asp and shooting through Walls. Met the same guy today Even tho rare answerd with that the report was true and they banned him
Given what has happened to Theb and then finding out about Noobface and then some, I genuinely cannot bring myself to support the game in any sense. I cannot play the game knowing that this company is pretty crap when it comes to working with community. Or well...axing the community
They don't own the rights to content made on their IP, but they DO have the right to dictate who they allow to use their IP to make said content. It's been pretty clearly indicated that rare don't want theb near their IP, yet he's persisted in continually breaking TOS and evading those bans.
Literally none of the actions rare have taken that you've covered are illegal.
Breeze made a video?
Breezie pies
FREE THE B
Sadly, even if Rare were to let up on Theb, it is already far too late. Theb losing his whole channel and being pretty much console locked out of the game means he will probably never be able to play, or find a way to trust the game and its company again. Even if he did, he would have to start a new channel and hope that history doesn't repeat, which, with how Rare has been, seems like it would just keep happening
Then report them to the police authorities around there areas
"This one person we don't like was making money off of our ip, so we deleted his career."
Nice work rare, you deplatformed one of your biggest content creators over something at this point is just petty, yet hack videos remain, as well as PAID alliance servers, which is against your TOS, but you guys publically admitted you didn't care about that cause you didn't see it as an issue.
Internal review and a new way of hiring people, other than twitter posts is needed
Keep going im so close
Bro…
We’ll put 👏🏻
So they'll ban theb but not a partnered streamer who had sexual relations with a 17 year old, laws or not that's disgusting 🤢
You set out to make an antirare video but you kind of just ended up showing us that these players deserved their bans.
Everyone will agree and comment how terrible Rare is, but they won’t do the one thing that would actually change things: STOP. PLAYING. THE. GAME.
IN THE THOUSANTH VIEW
