Ninja reports a player for stream sniping

NOV 10 2018

Stream sniping is the practice of watching a broadcaster's live feed to gain an in-game advantage. Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins, then the most-watched streamer on Twitch, was eliminated in Fortnite by a player and reported him to Epic Games. The player denied sniping, and the episode drew criticism over the power imbalance between large streamers and ordinary players.
