From the Xbox front, the first comment came to the latest harassment incidents on Twitch. With the release of Halo Infinite, there has been a significant increase in the number of publishers playing the game. However, some people broadcasting on the platform were subjected to intense insults from Halo players.
Evaluating the situation, Xbox management stated that they were sorry and announced that they would take the necessary steps. The company will react more strongly to such events in terms of brand reliability.
Xbox next to hacked publisher
The female broadcaster named Grenade Queen, who recently broadcast on Twitch, was subjected to harassment by some Halo Infinite players. The successful name, faced with sexist rhetoric, gave the first reaction on Twitter as follows:
No woman should have to deal with it if they’re playing 1 tough match against decent people. This was just part of what happened.
Realizing the situation, Xbox manager Seamus Blackley showed the first reaction. The manager in the creative team of the company explained that they could not foresee this event. Stating that they will work to ensure that such a thing does not happen again, Blackley included the following in his statement:
This was not the future we envisioned for Xbox. As a community and with the help of Microsoft this needs to be highlighted and stopped. It will take teamwork between gamers, developers and console makers to change that, and the time has come. Time has passed. I know this is not new. I also know that you are angry that nothing has been done for a long time. You are right. It just motivates me more. It is possible to clean these environments. Let’s do this.
After the reaction from the Xbox front, it was learned that one of the players who made sexist statements apologized to Grenade Queen. On the other hand, the Twitch front did not comment on these attacks, which have been on the agenda for a long time and caused the publishers to boycott. Xbox management argued that the anonymity of people encouraged them to attack, while they argued that everyone should enter the Internet with their real identities. It is a matter of curiosity when exactly the sad events that will remain on the agenda for a long time will end.
