Greg Miller banned from E3 2020 after "trading his badge" with someone

[Winstano]

So... Greg's currently blowing up on Twitter (and live on the Kinda Funny Games Daily show) about this. He showed a video that proved his badge wasn't confiscated, as he was part of Gamespot's final live segment of E3, where he'd need his badge to get in.

Sounds like a bit of a balls up on the ESA's part here! Options are:

1) Someone copied his badge from a photo from Twitter etc
2) He actually traded it
3) The ESA have made a major balls up

Gonna be a fun ride to watch this one play out!

Huh. Well that's a weird one.

 

[Aloysius]

Responses are twitter are pretty funny so far. Excited to see how this unfolds lol

 

[Magneto]

Damn, already great announcements for E3 2020 ? That's crazy !

 

[entremet]

I'm sure it will get resolved.

 

[Toumari]

E3 is (apparently) dying, so ban one of the most known hosts of E3. Makes sense.

1) Someone copied his badge from a photo from Twitter etc

This is probably what happened. People do that with SDCC badges if they find one posted online with a name on it.

Maybe theres 2 greg millers? one that works at kindafunny and another from kindoffunny

 

[BUNTING1243]

I can't imagine he'd be handling this so publicly if he was responsible in any way, seems like the ESA made a fuckup?

 

[bonch00ski]

dude was kind of annoying with whatever videos i watched with him in them so it's fine by me

 

[kennyamr]

I mean, most of E3 is not happening at E3 anymore anyway. But, yea I bet they will work something out.

 

[stumblebee]

Strange. Bet it's an error.

 

[Einbroch]

Great idea. Ban someone who actively loves and supports your dying expo.

 

[staedtler]

Little early for E3 2020 leaks!

He followed with this:

So here's the thing, and apologies if he reached out to the Esa before going to social media. But am I the only one that kinda hates when "internet celebrities" use social media to sick the internet on something before trying to resolve the issue privately? Because I'm like 110% positive that was a mistake by Esa.

 

[Kuro]

They actually banned him for bursting the Respawn devs' ear drums.

 

[TheIlliterati]

Of course he will be cleared by next year, probably within the day.

 

[clockstrikes]

lmao

I wonder if Dr. Disrespect was banned from E3 2020 for his camera crew filming a minor peeing

He's perhaps the most insufferable person I have come across in game journalism.

 

[ChaserX]

And people thought Square announced E3 stuff too early.

 

[Blindy]

Seems kinda tacky to take it to social media unless they weren't responding back to his emails in defense no?

How could you trust sending GameOverGreggy anything business related via email if he will share it for all the world to see?

 

[el_galvon]

I think now Shawn Layden can feel safe enough to bring Sony back to E3 2020.

 

[ClamBuster]

ha... and e3 2020 will be the big one as well

 

[Deleted member 54073]

Looking forward to E3 2020 already.

Plot twist: the person who showed up at Gamespot's closing show was actually the Greg Miller impersonator!

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

It's for the best.

 

[Absoludacrous]

How disconnected from the industry do you need to be to ban Greg Miller without even trying to speak to him about it first.

 

[ShinobiBk]

Maybe a hacked e-mail or prank?

 

[Aly]

Those replies are pretty good tho.

 

[Darryl M R]

So did he try to respond through email first to explain that there must be a mistake?

I mean it's a pretty ridiculous situation but it's strange that his first response is to post this on Twitter than to respond and wait for a follow-up or reach out to his industry connects.

 

[JimJamJones]

lmao

Dammit, I came in here to make that joke.

 

[Maxime]

The answers from Greg's tweet are the real deal though (Zhuge, Patrick K, Devolver, ...) :3

 

[LiK]

So it was a mistake?

He's not even the most insufferable founding member of his website.

But Greg has become really quite annoying lately. He acts like, dare I say, a bit of a shill

 

[funky]

He is a popular youtuber.

Dude could shoot someone in the Ubisodt booth and the ESA would let him back.

 

[Calibro]

His hosting was so fucking bad this year (didn't watch it previously) I don't see it as something bad. Maybe they'll get a better one.

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

I can't wait to see how the European Space Agency responds.

It was a Skrull.

Sounds good to me. That EA thing was embarrassing.

LMAO

 

[Smash-It Stan]

He's ubisoft tier cringe host. Hope the ban sticks.

He hosted EA Play and the Kinda Funny Showcase, neither of these things have to do with the actual E3 showfloor.

Geez some of you are so hateful sometimes.
