DIM is also good, and even the Bungie app is actually fine.

Pokimane was just streaming as far as I’ve read, she’s completely innocent, I think dude deserves a permaban as you said, to send a message. This shit isn’t okay, it’s not cool, it was a childish stupid thing to do with no reason or purpose, play stupid games win stupid prizes, this guy got what he deserved.
