YouTube personality Felix Kjellberg, AKA PewDiePie, has once again courted controversy after using a racial slur towards another player during a live playthrough of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
As reported by the BBC, Kjellberg - who has over 57 million subscribers on the video sharing website, and was the first person to reach 10 billion views - was livestreaming when he used the slur to refer to another player, appearing afterwards to realise his error and saying "I don't mean that in a bad way".
It prompted a furious response from Sean Vanaman, creator of Firewatch, who promised via Twitter to use the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to file for any videos of Kjellberg's featuring Firewatch to be taken down. Since then, PewDiePie's playthrough of Firewatch has since been removed from his channel, although it's unclear if it's as a result of Vanaman's actions.
