2K Sports is Banning Users Who Upload Chris Benoit CAWs

[bigdipper88]

I understand WWE has erased Benoit as if he didn't exist, but 2k allows uploading of other killerrs such as Manson, Dahmer, and O.J. to name a few as if that's ok. Double standard in a way

Assuming this is WWE mandate, I don't have the WWE Network but apparently there are several PPVs with Benoit matches on their service. Which is a double-standard as well.

I don't agree with the censorship here, especially considering that A) It was fine to upload whoever you wanted on last-gen WWE games and B) If you paid $60 for the game, including it's online suite, then you should be able to create, upload, and download whoever you want.

Apparently my thread wasn't good enough. Lol, jk.

As I said in the thread I made, I think it's ridiculous. I could upload Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer etc. and it wouldn't be an issue.

But like others have said, it's most likely a WWE decision.

What I've noticed now is that they are not even allowing non-facial Benoit's up on Community Creations like they were.

Considering you can watch PPV's with his matches included on the WWE Network, this is really stupid.

Community Creations has been a thing for years now and I don't ever recall any controversy over Chris Benoit CAW's. WWE is making an issue out of a non-issue.

End Result: Whoever decided to enact this rule is actually BRINGING ATTENTION to Chris Benoit in an attempt to draw attention away from him. Self defeating and inane, but also, a microcosm of the WWE today.

Why don't people just make up someone who looks like Benoit and just give him some other name? And who wouldn't expect this from WWE. They like to think they in control of everything and then some.

LoL @ the typo of Christ Benoit. Also I'm pretty sure before this year there were plenty of Benoit CAWs in previous games that people weren't being banned for.

You can watch PPV's & matches with Benoit, but WWE doesn't advertise him. In fact, they don't even mention him being in the matches until you actually watch it. The WrestleMania XX description lists Triple H Vs. Shawn Michaels, that's it. No mention of Benoit, same goes for every other match he was involved in.


The fact that we could make him all the years before this one, and that everyone isn't being banned for uploading a Benoit, just the ones they happen to catch themselves, I think this is stupid. I feel like if we pay 60 bucks for a game, we should be free to involve whoever the hell we want in our game. But I suppose we still can, we just can't upload him to share.
