Summary
Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known by his online handle IShowSpeed, has gotten hisPlayStationaccount banned. This turn of events elicited quite an emotional reaction from the streamer during one of his recent broadcasts, adding to the list ofIShowSpeed’s livestream antics.
During a mid-January livestream, IShowSpeed opened an email notifying him that his PlayStation account had been temporarily suspended. Inappropriate behavior in thePlayStation exclusiveLittleBigPlanetwas cited as the reason for the ban. While this was hardly the first time that IShowSpeed had one of his online accounts suspended, what made this situation unusual was that it wasn’t the streamer’s fault. Namely, the content creator had no idea whatLittleBigPlaneteven was, having said as much during the January 16 livestream, as seen in the clip of the now-deleted broadcast shared by Twitter userIShowSpeedHQ.
IShowSpeed’s Brother Was at Fault for the LittleBigPlanet-Related PlayStation Account Ban
After Googling the name of the game, the 18-year-old concluded that his half-brother Dian was at fault for the ban. Following some animated raging on camera, IShowSpeed called his two-year-younger sibling to question him about the incident. Dian immediately admitted to being responsible for the suspension, revealing that he had uploaded a custom sticker that warranted the ban.
ShowSpeed was also puzzled about why his brother was even playingLittleBigPlanetwith his PlayStation account in the first place, stating that he could have used his own profile. However, Dian claimed he actually had no other account to play on. The younger sibling asked IShowSpeed not to worry about the incident, noting that he had only received a three-day ban instead of a permanent suspension. This only went to further agitate the streamer, who kept screaming that he shouldn’t have been messing with his account. PlayStation had alreadyunbanned IShowSpeedby the time the streamer realized he was suspended.
Sharing PSN passwords is a breach of thePlayStationTerms of Service. Sony’s support pages note that doing so also compromises the security of one’s account, urging users never to reveal their login credentials to anyone.
