This very talented young boy, who has 169,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, burst into tears and it was his father who came to comfort him. “Zenon dreams of progressing in Fortnite and being recognized for his talent. With this ban, it's impossible. If you can, use the hashtag #FreeZenon to change the situation. Thank you, ”the player posted on his Twitter account.
"It breaks my heart, let [him] play"
Several other famous players have taken a stand in his favor. "Why create a game for children if they are not allowed to play? It breaks my heart, let him play it, ”said another player.
Why create a game that's clearly targeted towards kids if you're not going to let them play it? This shit breaks my fkn heart actually, let the kid play @EpicGames @FortniteGame https://t.co/4rilPleh4R
- FaZe Banks (@Banks) May 5, 2020"Unless the Arena begins to offer money, there is no reason to banish Zenon until he is 13 years old […] He should not be banned from other Fortnite modes", said tweeted another world famous player, Ninja. Epic Games has never been tolerant on this kind of subject and could compromise the boy's return to Fortnite.
