Forum Post Questions Fenris Creations Giveaway Practices
An EVE Online forum post has raised allegations about giveaway practices involving guest streamers on Fenris Creations' Twitch channel during the Operation Avalon marathon.
Forum user igRaVeN wrote that guest streamers repeatedly required raffle entrants to follow their personal channels or held giveaways solely through their own Discord communities. The poster characterized those requirements as barriers to entry and described the arrangement as resembling an illegal lottery.
The post also alleged that a Fenris Creations Video Creator of the Year ran a contest in which the top donor would win. According to igRaVeN, two contestants spent $3,350 and $2,500 on prizes. The poster further alleged that the contestant who spent $2,500 received 100 Large Skill Injectors in a giveaway described as free and worth hundreds of billions of ISK.
igRaVeN argued that the alleged conduct amounted to real-money trading and questioned whether creators connected to Fenris Creations were being treated differently from other players. The post claimed that ordinary users found to be involved in RMT would face account deletion, while alleging that the creator involved was receiving more favorable treatment.
The forum post calls on Fenris Creations to address the concerns surrounding the giveaways and the enforcement allegations. Its claims remain the allegations of the forum user.
