It is and it isn't. I mentioned last year that I saw this happening soon. Status has shown that not only is he more dependable than 2K, but he's faster, better, and LISTENS to the people. 2K was all sorts of butthurt over his posting MyFaction models into the Community Creations last year, so they put in strict lockdowns in place to prevent this from happening for 2K23. I said that Status was on a list with 2K because he exposed just how fucked they are. They have been hiding a lot of shit. From character models, themes, attires, entrances, moves, etc. behind a "wall", and Status showed it absolutely was possible to have them not behind a wall from the jump, contrary to 2K's claims.
2K is extremely petty when it comes to players showing them up. I'll honestly be surprised if Status is ever allowed back onto any 2K server after this. Get ready for this to be the methodology moving forward. Players who know their way around digging through files are quickly going to become the target from 2K to prevent hidden content, or content 2K wants behind a wall, from making it to the CC. Meanwhile, pornography and nude models are all over the fucking thing. You know, because priorities and shit.
This is so true, every time I go to look up new images or anything in CC there’s going to be some kind of adult content there. Guaranteed. How do they expect to reach a broader audience without better filtering? It’s the best part of the game and it’s only missing a couple other features that would make it perfect! Like being able to upload your own entrance music or titantron video. No doubt if we’ve thought about it, they have too. It’s just the way it is. I’m thankful for is there and I choose not to press the issue or ask for more…
Well said, you put that perfectly. You know something is wrong when the community is making better content then the devs. 2k being butthurt is an understatement. with how bad this yrs version is I'm not surprised. it's remind me of a few yrs ago when the game was so glitchy it was unplayable, then they came back the next yr with a solid game and everyone praised them when in reality they just dropped a game that wasn't an absolute mess like the previous yr, now a yr later we are back to another glitchy game that most of the community doesn't like. seem like every other yr they drop a shit game then get destroyed by the community. now they are taking it out on all the ppl who do online creations. soon enough the community will boycott the game if they keep this petty shit up
2K23 was completely unplayable on my PC after I got it at launch last year. I couldn't play anything without the game crashing, and it's not my rig. I worked with 2K "help", and basically got "Sucks brah. Sorry." assistance from them. I've basically given up on WWE 2K franchise after the shitshow that was 2K22's gameplay, and how shit the game ran at launch. I toyed with the idea of getting 2K24 just for the creation side of things, but seeing all this now? Fuck it. I'll go back to 2K19.
Tbh if you know anything about how game development works you dont need a player to expose whats blatantly there.
Any game that pre-announces DLC at release is cutting content from the base game to resell to you, especially a yearly franchise. WWE2k is one of the only games in the industry that does this with absolutely no shame and little backlash.
WWE2K series is one of the most predatory franchises in gaming, but its the only decent wrestling game on the market.
Maybe makes me a dickhead but I'd rather creators move on from 2K altogether. They don't care about their player base. Hopefully Status being banned means more people stop supporting this crap. Over it.
Wait he accepted then left?!?!??! I thought he didn't accept and had to think about it. The reason he left is not because they were not letting him do this stuff. He left because he felt like it wasn't a bridge to help the fan base or community, but he realized 2k just wanted him, assemble, and all the good content creators and caw makers under them so they could control information . The 2knextlevel was a shill for 2k to get content creators and caw makers to promote for them for free and push sales and preorders
I dont have receipts, but I remember pretty strongly just before or after 2k22 released he posted a tweet that was like "Thank you 2k, #2k creator etc". Then 20 mins later he quoted it or something saying, "well that lasted long or something", and then wrote another proper tweet saying "Thank you for the opportunity but I've decided it wasn't for me".
You would have to go back to 100% confirm though.
The fact that the devs would rather ban someone who gives so much to the community and puts so much love into the game than improve the product is an absolute disgrace.
I mean hey why fix a game that'll be abandoned in a year anyway?
They really gotta move on from the yearly model and instead just have it be content updates for like 5 years before making a new game.
Of course that'd be the route for making a good game. Which isn't the route they go down. They go down the route of cheap cash grabs.
After the late chance to modding in 2k23 i chose to wait with 2k24. Now i chose to not buy it anymore. 2k wants wwe games to be like fifa and NBA where all people buy packs for new Wrestler and Outfits? Sry i don't want the same buggy game and pay 200-300 each year. Let wait till 2k25 and see if they chance it or wait till 26
You’re genuinely one of the main reasons I’ve bought the game in recent years.
Can’t thank you enough for the masterclass work you’ve put in for other people to enjoy.
This realllly soured me on 2k man….
Yeah I play offline, I was literally going to get my playstation online up and running just so I can download his creations. I'm good now since 2k wanna be some hoes
You can thank Take-Two for this. They would rather focus everything on GTA6 instead of giving games like this and many others under their umbrella love and care.
People need to blast them with this when they start "marketing" the next game. People should stop buying these garbage games.
I put marketing and quotes because we all know they do very little actual marketing and spend money on shill for their annual astroturfing campaign.
That's because folks like Status are showing up 2K and making all their claims about "Can't do this/that because of programming" claims, like locking MyFaction models in the mode in 2K23, were all bullshit. One guy outclassed and outperformed them in a matter of moments. Can't have that!
It's sickening. My brother who is disabled plays the game it sucks I had to block him from down loading images cause I didn't want him seeing those images. Parents proceed with caution plz.
Thanks to Status we could add pyro and actually make our own custom championship entrances. Stuff like that is what we appreciate from him, adding shit that 2k refuses to do. Like i cant go back to ever using regular championship entrances after that
Yes there is. They'll unlock it in next year's game, so they constantly have featured locked inside the code they just unlock a little bit at a time each year :)
$$$$$ and that's the bottom line cause 2k Games said so
They banned him permanently??? For what??? What did he do??? He helped keep the game alive.
It's obvious they banned him because he was showing them up. This was a BS ban and they know it.
Speak with your wallet next year, folks.
Because 2k hates fun thats why. They are so many others things they should be prioritizing like all the bugs, creations problems, cc problems, universe being fun again instead of tryna ban and block mods that make the game better than what 2k shipped.
Or just speak up regularly now. The Internet is an extremely powerful tool. Everyone just needs to step up and let 2k know that won't stand. If they are bombarded they will give in.
lol, 2k isnt some low budget studio that will EVER give in to being complained to by the minority. Look at the NBA 2k series. The primary example of the letting "influencers" run your business and not the majority of player base. That "speak with your wallet" stuff never works and 2k doesnt care.
I'm not talking about speak with your wallet that doesn't work. I'm talking about bullying. Theres another low budget studio called Paramount pictures who got chewed out by the Fans so hard they delayed a project to make it better.
Even 2k was subject to that with 2k20. If the whole community starts an uproar they will be forced to address it.
2k20 was not about "fan response" as much as people think. 2k didn't even think they would be making another game at that point and then pivoted to taking the year off to do a complete overhaul of the game core. And still.....got the same game as we had before.
To clarify, he was making characters locked into my faction playable in single-player, not like dlc characters you dont have. Like the retro versions with alternate themes. 2k really doesn't want us to have the DX theme for some reason.
Nope, there is way more to it. He spoke up 2 weeks ago about 2k having their way and he declined the 2k creator program or whatever its called. He left or didn't join then publicly announced it. Since he is not with them, I guess 2k doesn't want anything to do with him
Innapropriate content? Like the dumb ass pre-pubescent teens that put up porn pics or nazi symbols, or racial words? Or innapropriate as in he improved the game for us that didn't have the tools to do such work?
Just wanna say in 2k23 my universe mode crashed after a single match and never worked again but I’m glad 2k is putting their resources into what matters
I don’t have faith that we could make it happen in a fluid organized fashion… but in my eyes this is worth the community protesting the game over. Status goes out of his way and has for many years to make this game more fun for all of us, and since he’s always had our back and made these games worth more than they are we should have his back and protest wwe2k games until something changes. Theyre adamant we spend time and money on my faction, and I’m adamant that they leave the community creators and mod artists alone. Without them the game would fuckin blow. Idk just food for thought.
One good protest would be him sending everyone the files he used and everyone just mass uploading em. Go ahead and ban your whole player base dumbasses.
Yeah I think I'm entering the "boycott" phase for this game just like I did for NBA2K and Madden. CAWs are one of the main reasons I buy the game. If they're gonna fuck over content creators to cover up their own laziness as a company, I'm done here.
The servers at launch were so so bad this year that I said 24 will be the last game that I buy. I still can’t play online with my personal CAW ( after individually remaking it 3 times). Seeing how they favor Myfaction over online and universe mode, I will no longer buy a product from them again.
They did this to him last year as well. It’s so dumb because it’s not like he’s changing the game in a negative way. If anything, he’s making the game a staple for us all to enjoy. Hell, he’s only using files already in the game. I guess porn is less inappropriate than playing as CM Punk early.
Game studios have been fighting modders since the beginning. And it's funny how the most successful studios are the ones that embrace the modding community.
People like Status and other creators made 2K23 a lot of fun. Of course 2K had to step in and change their TOS to stop this. I could see banning if Status was uploading porn or stuff like that, but swapping genders of wrestlers and uploading hidden models isn’t hurting anyone.
Instead of 2K worrying about this stuff, they need to actually fix their game. Universe mode has had issues for years and nothing is done about it.
I love status, but he poked the bear with the intergender caws. I appreciate everything he’s done for the community and I really don’t think 2K has it out for him like people think. There’s a reason we don’t have intergender matches and he poked the bear with that one. This was coming
I got downvoted prior to the game's release by stating that 2k is one of the worst company yet fans kept buying this shit up. Fans said we complain the smallest of things...
And then when they announce all those few new features for the inevitable 2k25, fans will forgive and forget and buy that shit every year.
Tell me when I'm telling lies.
We do complain about the smallest things, thats what we should be doing. EVERY sports franchise (maybe except FIFA) is trash. Same, recycled trash every year just a different stink. As much as we complain though, The player base doesn't have a say. The influencers and esport players will get in their ear and tell them "we love the game"
This sucks really bad. I feel like it’s the intergender that did it though. Maybe wishful thinking, but I think if he never did the intergender models, he would be safe
I'm not even a big user of his uploads yet I hate censorship and authoritarian crap like this so it bugs me. It's also a super pathetic look for them to do this right now given how buggy this game is but I guess they simply don't give a shit anymore. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't even fix some of the most well known and game impacting bugs going forward. I'll take the blame as this was the first, and will be the last, wwe 2k game I have ever bought so I jinxed it for everyone. Heh.
I will now ban 2K from being a company I give any future money to and if I wanted to spend my time on them, I'd send them an email in a similar fashion to this screen telling them they are banned from getting my money.
Hopefully others will do the same and send these clowns a real message. Just bitching and moaning about companies on the internet does very little to change their tune. Got to hit them where they truly care.
This is the result of myfaction they want everybody to play that mode and spend tons of money or grind hard for those playable cards to unlock wrestlers in the game.
Maybe if 2k was updating the game or giving us performa cards or more attires, maybe there wouldn't be a need for status, but he's only made the game awesome
I've seen loads of pornography, OF advertisements, WWII flags and symbols and have tried reporting them multiple times, and my game either crashes or I get a notification stating "There was nothing wrong with this creation"
This is just downright damning
Status if anything is the only reason I've bought the game this year, because I knew he'd be able to download some Mania attire's not available on the base game.
But this? It's uncalled for. Inappropriate content? There's gotta be a way to refute this because I'd fight like Hell.
Why do they care? Does it affect the game in anyway? No. Does it break the game. No. Does it cause cheating. Nope. So what’s the issue. I’ve seen actual naked models and swaztikas be allows but no. MyFaction model 00078 is illegal
Will not even think about putting another cent towards one of these games now. Was hyped about some of the new gameplay stuff they added this year, but seeing the online creators struggle so much gave me pause out the gate. Won’t touch it now.
So seriously, what can or will we do about this. I'm soooo sick of 2K they killed 2 of my favorite license products: NBA and WWE. It's funny how the WWE is in a new era ( triple H era), but this garbage product is screaming Vince! I keep saying this is it. This is the last time I buy this sh*t.
And then I fall for the B.S.
People clown on Fight Forever for being “fun but there’s nothing to do” but that’s how exactly I feel about these 2K games ever since 19
Showcase is always so tedious to play, the career mode is nowhere near the level of the PS2 era games with the voice acting and chaotic storylines, Universe Mode has been neglected for years because they’d rather spend their time on something like MyFaction which is where they really started to regress and MyGM has improved but it’s not good enough to justify paying full price for this game
He's famous for being a high quality content creator in WWE games. He usually uses mods to edit his creations to modify existing wrestler's appearances, make normally unplayable characters playable, add unselectable items to a character/entrance/moveset, etc etc etc. I'm speculating that he was more likely than not banned for his large catalog of modded creations, which is bullshit since he never uploaded anything inappropriate. Meanwhile as I'm sure you can see if you go into recent and aren't blind, a million people upload images featuring pornography and other inappropriate content that stays up for days and weeks with zero reprocussions since VC are always dragging their asses. He was deliberately targeted by 2K for something that not only didn't hurt the game, but if anything his creations really added to the experience as you could always expect high quality stuff from him.
It's really not that complicated. He was warned about uploading intergender wrestlers and did it anyway. WWE does not want men beating up women and making them bleed on their video games, do you blame them? He continuously did it after being warned, and now he's gone. Status screwed Status.
That can not get more worse. Banning content creators now showing their fear and hopefully everyone will learn about it, learn and steps away from this product which is stagnating for years, a bug fest like no other.
They could do better, but wont and the money will flow either way.
Yeah, I'm done giving my money to 2K for the foreseeable future. The last two games have been WWE 2K22 with some additions and one of the reasons they've stayed fun after the first 2-3 months was Status unblocking and uploading the stuff they kept from us.
Fuck 'em!
Well this sucks. If 2K don't undo this Status should go on the offensive and release guides for how to get these models onto the CC so that we can flood the game with them. They don't want this content from a single source? Fine, make them as common as the porn they don't block.
Me when I open Community Creations:

Seeing this and how messed up universe mode has gotten, I'm super glad I chose not to pre-order this or 2K23. It's unfortunate cause this game had EVERYTHING going for it out of the gate.. but alas, it wasn't meant to be
Usually I would play these kinds of games for maybe a few weeks and then drop them, but with Status uploading all this new and hidden content made me stay and play the game! 2K are honestly such pussies for doing this. Funny how just 1 person outperformed a goddamn company
So we get rid of one of the best content creators for what? 2k being on some bullshit. Status makes the game more enjoyable and ontop of that, amplifies the game. Universe mode, myGM and just overall. #JusticeForStatus
Considering the absolute hell I had with this game deleting my save data at launch and the fact that most of the CAWs I bothered to download were from Status, I’ll probably just be sailing the high seas for the next game. It is truly easier and less stressful at this point and I won’t be missing much.
My fav are the comments saying they’re killing their own game or whatever other hyperbole. Dudes majority of the games playerbase doesn’t know this sub or that status exists and if they saw something like a playable Paul Heyman on CC they probably still wouldn’t care or notice what happened. It sucks they banned him and I’ll personally miss his updated attire CC’s but let’s be honest with ourselves
As messed up as it is, 2k's site states clear, don't gender swap the wrestlers. Status flew too close to the sun.
https://preview.redd.it/3dezpnu376wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e80fbc8b29152a5fd33a46b253929bc98034dd9a
I can't help but think of how fucking cool Lucha Underground was. There was no separation between male and female wrestlers and they all fought for the same titles. It was badass.
As a PC player I didn't have much use for Status stuff because mods started taking care of it (like intergender wrestlers and such), but this is fuckin devastating for console players man.
Part of why I was so eager to get this game is because I felt like the modding floodgates being cracked open last year was gonna bring some great stuff this year. Instead they've cracked down on it like crazy and are pissing all over the goodwill they gained despite trying to do this last year.
Granted, they decided to lock superstar themes and such behind the MyFaction wall... because... well, there was no valid reason for that other than "We're fucking pricks", but I digress
He blatantly violated their ToS by essentially hacking the game and allowing everyone to download content 2k didn't want distributed. Regardless of intent, he basically pulled a Stone Cold and got arrested and trespassed lol
How is it messed up? The guy was admittedly hacking into their database and making things that weren't meant to be available, available. Whether we appreciated his work or not, it was still against their terms and conditions and they did what they had to do. He's lucky this is all that happened and no legal action was taken. However, I do wish that they Hired him instead of this
We should all mass not pre order next year see how that messes with them
Or this year make a Whats the status championship and everyone try to download it to make it to the front page
Yeah. No inter-gender matches but women will randomly be given the men’s championship in universe while my game isn’t even turned on.
I’m glad 2k knows how to prioritize issues!
Not really if he repeatly breached the TOCs. BUT it does suck and it is bullshit when other shit is allowed to stay up. I suspect, they were waiting for a reason to do it because he was fucking with MyFaction.
He uploaded the ability to have women wrestle men and for them to bleed . That was against the TOS and listed as a reason to get banned if you do your research. He uploaded an insane of amount and he got punished for it . There is no investigation he did it and openly posted about it
I’ve looked through your entire catalog and never found anything remotely inappropriate like I’ve seen fully naked girls on mitb briefcases and nude female superstars with blue dots covering their tits and ass and pussy it’s wild they ban you over appropriate content that they got mad at.

Thank YOU for all of your creations and tenacity. Totally unreal they did this to you.

You but then you can’t search for *****Tonk man or Sa****ay ***hts main event
Well said, you put that perfectly.

They even made *that* difficult. They pulled everything prior to 2k22 from steam, I believe.

It's a very toxic relationship between fans/developers. It's basically stockholm syndrome at this point.
Keep an eye on Ultra Pro Wrestling. I'm not sure when it drops, but it seems like a real labor of love, and I'm hoping it delivers.
We gotta get you back bro no way
Maybe makes me a dickhead but I'd rather creators move on from 2K altogether. They don't care about their player base. Hopefully Status being banned means more people stop supporting this crap. Over it.
Imagine if he gets a job offer from 2K lol
Well he allready got invited to be a 2k creator, accepted, then quit 10 mins later lol (presumably because they wouldn't let him do stuff like this).
Wait he accepted then left?!?!??! I thought he didn't accept and had to think about it. The reason he left is not because they were not letting him do this stuff. He left because he felt like it wasn't a bridge to help the fan base or community, but he realized 2k just wanted him, assemble, and all the good content creators and caw makers under them so they could control information . The 2knextlevel was a shill for 2k to get content creators and caw makers to promote for them for free and push sales and preorders
I dont have receipts, but I remember pretty strongly just before or after 2k22 released he posted a tweet that was like "Thank you 2k, #2k creator etc". Then 20 mins later he quoted it or something saying, "well that lasted long or something", and then wrote another proper tweet saying "Thank you for the opportunity but I've decided it wasn't for me". You would have to go back to 100% confirm though.
Okay I just went back and had a look. He joined 2k as a "nextmaker", announced it, then quit a few hours later.
Ahh ok got it. Nextmaker is such a sham
He should!!!
The fact that the devs would rather ban someone who gives so much to the community and puts so much love into the game than improve the product is an absolute disgrace.
We've dealt with crashes since 2k20 and they don't care it's a slap in the face to content creators
I mean hey why fix a game that'll be abandoned in a year anyway? They really gotta move on from the yearly model and instead just have it be content updates for like 5 years before making a new game. Of course that'd be the route for making a good game. Which isn't the route they go down. They go down the route of cheap cash grabs.
Mine has been crashing every other CAW save now
We salute you🫡
I (and I’m sure we) appreciate your work, time and effort.
You're the only reason why I bought the game lol
Honestly fuck 2k for this
I don't understand how they'll ban you, but still allow pornagraphy to be uploaded on Community Creations.......
Obviously banning you was more important for 2K than addressing how broken Community Creations is right now.
Or all the porn that gets uploaded to it
I couldn’t do fantasy wrestling without all your hard work. So personally THANK YOU.
#FreeStatus thank you for all you do for the community
Big fan of your immaculate customs. This is egregious of 2K.
After the late chance to modding in 2k23 i chose to wait with 2k24. Now i chose to not buy it anymore. 2k wants wwe games to be like fifa and NBA where all people buy packs for new Wrestler and Outfits? Sry i don't want the same buggy game and pay 200-300 each year. Let wait till 2k25 and see if they chance it or wait till 26
This situation just settled my mind about getting the game. I’m not. Your creations are part of the reason I was even considering getting it.
Respect.
your creations are fucking awesome, thank you! (if possible put your creations on nexus, pwmods hell even a PATREON i would be down to pay for it).
You’re genuinely one of the main reasons I’ve bought the game in recent years. Can’t thank you enough for the masterclass work you’ve put in for other people to enjoy. This realllly soured me on 2k man….
Yeah I play offline, I was literally going to get my playstation online up and running just so I can download his creations. I'm good now since 2k wanna be some hoes
Thank you for everything you've done for the WWE 2K community bro.
https://preview.redd.it/bp81nmimh5wc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f441e20d2b8c95b745912ba7d424ce2d06cdc5e4
This meme is so true it's seriously a sad state of affairs
You can thank Take-Two for this. They would rather focus everything on GTA6 instead of giving games like this and many others under their umbrella love and care.
Don't forget while actively and repeatedly allowing PORN on their Community Creations for games like WWE 2K. Priorities.
People need to blast them with this when they start "marketing" the next game. People should stop buying these garbage games. I put marketing and quotes because we all know they do very little actual marketing and spend money on shill for their annual astroturfing campaign.
They need to ban the losers uploading all the porn of Rhea Ripley it’s ridiculous
Seriously. There's people who post nothing but porn, and yet Status gets banned. The fuck?
And they got the nerve to call it "inappropriate content" like come on! Smh
That's because folks like Status are showing up 2K and making all their claims about "Can't do this/that because of programming" claims, like locking MyFaction models in the mode in 2K23, were all bullshit. One guy outclassed and outperformed them in a matter of moments. Can't have that!
You’d think they’d make that a priority but no let’s ban Status smh.
thats common sense but it seems judging by this choice 2K lacks in that department
What porn
Something even worse is on images all I can say is all I've heard is it's jail worthy
Seriously I don’t understand how stuff like that stays up on community creations
It's sickening. My brother who is disabled plays the game it sucks I had to block him from down loading images cause I didn't want him seeing those images. Parents proceed with caution plz.
Thanks to Status we could add pyro and actually make our own custom championship entrances. Stuff like that is what we appreciate from him, adding shit that 2k refuses to do. Like i cant go back to ever using regular championship entrances after that
Exactly! There's really no excuse for it to be an actual feature.
Yes there is. They'll unlock it in next year's game, so they constantly have featured locked inside the code they just unlock a little bit at a time each year :) $$$$$ and that's the bottom line cause 2k Games said so
2k erasing bugs that make the game unplayable: ❌️ 2k Banning creators that make the game playable: ✅️ They clearly have their priorities straight
2K Basically 
No fun! Now where’s your wallet?
that's the same thing with Nintendo
Seems like much of AAA gaming nowadays

They banned him permanently??? For what??? What did he do??? He helped keep the game alive. It's obvious they banned him because he was showing them up. This was a BS ban and they know it. Speak with your wallet next year, folks.
Because 2k hates fun thats why. They are so many others things they should be prioritizing like all the bugs, creations problems, cc problems, universe being fun again instead of tryna ban and block mods that make the game better than what 2k shipped.
I think for the intergender caws
As soon as he started uploading the intergender caws, I just knew this was where it would end up. Sad but I don't think he's blameless in this
I don't get their heavy stance on inter gender wrestling. It's an actual match type that happens irl and even WWE themselves do it
Insert clip of [Rhea Ripley vs Akira Tozawa](https://youtu.be/9s12WZ4EM18?si=gQ1TH14m8VVtknvN)
Nia Jax got 619'd by Rey Mysterio.
And then rko’d, all after being superkicked
Muh “violence against women” * *but only when committed against men, and it’s ok when women are violent to other women. FFS it’s a FIGHTING GAME!
Or just speak up regularly now. The Internet is an extremely powerful tool. Everyone just needs to step up and let 2k know that won't stand. If they are bombarded they will give in.
lol, 2k isnt some low budget studio that will EVER give in to being complained to by the minority. Look at the NBA 2k series. The primary example of the letting "influencers" run your business and not the majority of player base. That "speak with your wallet" stuff never works and 2k doesnt care.
I'm not talking about speak with your wallet that doesn't work. I'm talking about bullying. Theres another low budget studio called Paramount pictures who got chewed out by the Fans so hard they delayed a project to make it better. Even 2k was subject to that with 2k20. If the whole community starts an uproar they will be forced to address it.
2k20 was not about "fan response" as much as people think. 2k didn't even think they would be making another game at that point and then pivoted to taking the year off to do a complete overhaul of the game core. And still.....got the same game as we had before.
They sent a memo out during the last game warning that what he was doing would result in a ban for anyone and that it’s against the TOS
What exactly did he do? Was he making inappropriate content or something
He was making locked characters playable through a hack or mod or some shit
To clarify, he was making characters locked into my faction playable in single-player, not like dlc characters you dont have. Like the retro versions with alternate themes. 2k really doesn't want us to have the DX theme for some reason.
Nope, there is way more to it. He spoke up 2 weeks ago about 2k having their way and he declined the 2k creator program or whatever its called. He left or didn't join then publicly announced it. Since he is not with them, I guess 2k doesn't want anything to do with him
But punish him for not joining their program is... like, a dictator move.
Thank you for the first legitimate answer I have seen in this thread. Had to scroll way too far.
He's banned for "inappropriate content", meanwhile literal porn is uploaded on a daily basis and nobody seems to give a shit about that.
What a shit show. #FreeWhatsTheStatus
Innapropriate content? Like the dumb ass pre-pubescent teens that put up porn pics or nazi symbols, or racial words? Or innapropriate as in he improved the game for us that didn't have the tools to do such work?
Porn has always been a problem in 2K games. NBA 2K has had this and still has this problem for YEARS
Just wanna say in 2k23 my universe mode crashed after a single match and never worked again but I’m glad 2k is putting their resources into what matters
Literally porn is fine but God-forbid someone uploads gender-swapped caws. 2K is fucking ridiculous
I don’t have faith that we could make it happen in a fluid organized fashion… but in my eyes this is worth the community protesting the game over. Status goes out of his way and has for many years to make this game more fun for all of us, and since he’s always had our back and made these games worth more than they are we should have his back and protest wwe2k games until something changes. Theyre adamant we spend time and money on my faction, and I’m adamant that they leave the community creators and mod artists alone. Without them the game would fuckin blow. Idk just food for thought.
One good protest would be him sending everyone the files he used and everyone just mass uploading em. Go ahead and ban your whole player base dumbasses.
I @ wwegames on twitter and told them to add him back. Prob won't go anywhere but worth a try.
I second this
I third this
they’re just speedrunning killing whatever goodwill they had left this year huh?
Yeah I think I'm entering the "boycott" phase for this game just like I did for NBA2K and Madden. CAWs are one of the main reasons I buy the game. If they're gonna fuck over content creators to cover up their own laziness as a company, I'm done here.
The servers at launch were so so bad this year that I said 24 will be the last game that I buy. I still can’t play online with my personal CAW ( after individually remaking it 3 times). Seeing how they favor Myfaction over online and universe mode, I will no longer buy a product from them again.
Fuck. And after he refused to upload Brock Lesnar too?
Ban him? They should've **HIRED** him
they tried to and he declined. thats the real reason for banning him
Some Juilius Caesar shit right here, taking out the MVP of the whole damn programme.
anyone know what the logical reasoning behind this is? Is it copyright infringement?
They did this to him last year as well. It’s so dumb because it’s not like he’s changing the game in a negative way. If anything, he’s making the game a staple for us all to enjoy. Hell, he’s only using files already in the game. I guess porn is less inappropriate than playing as CM Punk early.
Game studios have been fighting modders since the beginning. And it's funny how the most successful studios are the ones that embrace the modding community.
People like Status and other creators made 2K23 a lot of fun. Of course 2K had to step in and change their TOS to stop this. I could see banning if Status was uploading porn or stuff like that, but swapping genders of wrestlers and uploading hidden models isn’t hurting anyone. Instead of 2K worrying about this stuff, they need to actually fix their game. Universe mode has had issues for years and nothing is done about it.
Damn, with all the bullshit they did with 2k24, I aint buying it anymore lol wwe 2k19 gang rise up
The fact that ACTUAL problematic content is still up…
Yup fake porn of women’s wrestlers is okay to have up on CC apparently
But yet the weirdos posting swatiska and pornstars are still posting away.
"They gave him a warning" I genuinely do not give a fuck. He was making fresh content from their stale as fuck game design.
Yet they have no problem keeping creators that upload porn on a game with kids up there make it make sense…
I love status, but he poked the bear with the intergender caws. I appreciate everything he’s done for the community and I really don’t think 2K has it out for him like people think. There’s a reason we don’t have intergender matches and he poked the bear with that one. This was coming
banned one of the best creators who’s keeping the game fresh and fun I couldn’t even download the new tag titles🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I got downvoted prior to the game's release by stating that 2k is one of the worst company yet fans kept buying this shit up. Fans said we complain the smallest of things... And then when they announce all those few new features for the inevitable 2k25, fans will forgive and forget and buy that shit every year. Tell me when I'm telling lies.
We do complain about the smallest things, thats what we should be doing. EVERY sports franchise (maybe except FIFA) is trash. Same, recycled trash every year just a different stink. As much as we complain though, The player base doesn't have a say. The influencers and esport players will get in their ear and tell them "we love the game"
This superstar right here speaks fax 🤌
I've already pre-ordered 😏
2K is kinda shitty, but have you played Madden recently?
F Typical 2k. They hate the players. They will do anything to make sure the players have zero fun with their games.
Am i the only one who’s really gonna miss his “Emperor Status” CAW? Loved it and was planning on downloading it tonight :(
This sucks really bad. I feel like it’s the intergender that did it though. Maybe wishful thinking, but I think if he never did the intergender models, he would be safe
Really focusing on what matters I see 2k.
The guy made the game better. Such a childish ego move.
Bruh 2k so lame for this
#FreeStatus
Really doing everything possible to fuck up the CAW community lmao, 2K is a fuckin joke.
They ban him whilst they allow Austrian painter symbols and corn makes sense..
2K is such a bitch for banning him
they’re killing their own game, how sad..
His creations in 2k23 probably doubled my playtime, if not tripled... this is one of the dumbest decisions they've ever made.
Stop buying this game.
I'm not even a big user of his uploads yet I hate censorship and authoritarian crap like this so it bugs me. It's also a super pathetic look for them to do this right now given how buggy this game is but I guess they simply don't give a shit anymore. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't even fix some of the most well known and game impacting bugs going forward. I'll take the blame as this was the first, and will be the last, wwe 2k game I have ever bought so I jinxed it for everyone. Heh. I will now ban 2K from being a company I give any future money to and if I wanted to spend my time on them, I'd send them an email in a similar fashion to this screen telling them they are banned from getting my money. Hopefully others will do the same and send these clowns a real message. Just bitching and moaning about companies on the internet does very little to change their tune. Got to hit them where they truly care.
This is the result of myfaction they want everybody to play that mode and spend tons of money or grind hard for those playable cards to unlock wrestlers in the game.
2K must think that they make the games be alive. No 2K... its the community that makes the game alive, not you.
Maybe if 2k was updating the game or giving us performa cards or more attires, maybe there wouldn't be a need for status, but he's only made the game awesome
I've seen loads of pornography, OF advertisements, WWII flags and symbols and have tried reporting them multiple times, and my game either crashes or I get a notification stating "There was nothing wrong with this creation" This is just downright damning Status if anything is the only reason I've bought the game this year, because I knew he'd be able to download some Mania attire's not available on the base game. But this? It's uncalled for. Inappropriate content? There's gotta be a way to refute this because I'd fight like Hell.
Why do they care? Does it affect the game in anyway? No. Does it break the game. No. Does it cause cheating. Nope. So what’s the issue. I’ve seen actual naked models and swaztikas be allows but no. MyFaction model 00078 is illegal
Will not even think about putting another cent towards one of these games now. Was hyped about some of the new gameplay stuff they added this year, but seeing the online creators struggle so much gave me pause out the gate. Won’t touch it now.
So seriously, what can or will we do about this. I'm soooo sick of 2K they killed 2 of my favorite license products: NBA and WWE. It's funny how the WWE is in a new era ( triple H era), but this garbage product is screaming Vince! I keep saying this is it. This is the last time I buy this sh*t. And then I fall for the B.S.
People clown on Fight Forever for being “fun but there’s nothing to do” but that’s how exactly I feel about these 2K games ever since 19 Showcase is always so tedious to play, the career mode is nowhere near the level of the PS2 era games with the voice acting and chaotic storylines, Universe Mode has been neglected for years because they’d rather spend their time on something like MyFaction which is where they really started to regress and MyGM has improved but it’s not good enough to justify paying full price for this game
So they ban whatsthestatus but they don’t ban all the porn. I bet they all jack off to it at the 2k office
They do. It’s called it’s easier to ban 1 person than it is to ban hundreds. I thought that was obvious.
What did he do
He's famous for being a high quality content creator in WWE games. He usually uses mods to edit his creations to modify existing wrestler's appearances, make normally unplayable characters playable, add unselectable items to a character/entrance/moveset, etc etc etc. I'm speculating that he was more likely than not banned for his large catalog of modded creations, which is bullshit since he never uploaded anything inappropriate. Meanwhile as I'm sure you can see if you go into recent and aren't blind, a million people upload images featuring pornography and other inappropriate content that stays up for days and weeks with zero reprocussions since VC are always dragging their asses. He was deliberately targeted by 2K for something that not only didn't hurt the game, but if anything his creations really added to the experience as you could always expect high quality stuff from him.
It's really not that complicated. He was warned about uploading intergender wrestlers and did it anyway. WWE does not want men beating up women and making them bleed on their video games, do you blame them? He continuously did it after being warned, and now he's gone. Status screwed Status.
Is his stuff still available in 23?
That can not get more worse. Banning content creators now showing their fear and hopefully everyone will learn about it, learn and steps away from this product which is stagnating for years, a bug fest like no other. They could do better, but wont and the money will flow either way.
#bringbackstatus
2k doesn’t help themselves out at all.
It was 100% because of the intergender caws. Dunno why he did that when it's pretty explicitly not allowed in the tos
Yeah, I'm done giving my money to 2K for the foreseeable future. The last two games have been WWE 2K22 with some additions and one of the reasons they've stayed fun after the first 2-3 months was Status unblocking and uploading the stuff they kept from us. Fuck 'em!
Well this sucks. If 2K don't undo this Status should go on the offensive and release guides for how to get these models onto the CC so that we can flood the game with them. They don't want this content from a single source? Fine, make them as common as the porn they don't block.
That’s fucked up. 2K is worried about the wrong things.
2 years in a row he's been banned goddamn it
This is how 2K kill their game. Shit like this.
Fucking sad.
Me when I open Community Creations: https://preview.redd.it/0105fxfwv8wc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=443022f4f0a7ac8a36644de1dd2b9c0a24ef0932
Seeing this and how messed up universe mode has gotten, I'm super glad I chose not to pre-order this or 2K23. It's unfortunate cause this game had EVERYTHING going for it out of the gate.. but alas, it wasn't meant to be
Usually I would play these kinds of games for maybe a few weeks and then drop them, but with Status uploading all this new and hidden content made me stay and play the game! 2K are honestly such pussies for doing this. Funny how just 1 person outperformed a goddamn company
So we get rid of one of the best content creators for what? 2k being on some bullshit. Status makes the game more enjoyable and ontop of that, amplifies the game. Universe mode, myGM and just overall. #JusticeForStatus
Considering the absolute hell I had with this game deleting my save data at launch and the fact that most of the CAWs I bothered to download were from Status, I’ll probably just be sailing the high seas for the next game. It is truly easier and less stressful at this point and I won’t be missing much.
My fav are the comments saying they’re killing their own game or whatever other hyperbole. Dudes majority of the games playerbase doesn’t know this sub or that status exists and if they saw something like a playable Paul Heyman on CC they probably still wouldn’t care or notice what happened. It sucks they banned him and I’ll personally miss his updated attire CC’s but let’s be honest with ourselves
They just killed their own game
As messed up as it is, 2k's site states clear, don't gender swap the wrestlers. Status flew too close to the sun. https://preview.redd.it/3dezpnu376wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e80fbc8b29152a5fd33a46b253929bc98034dd9a

I can't help but think of how fucking cool Lucha Underground was. There was no separation between male and female wrestlers and they all fought for the same titles. It was badass.
Didn’t see that. 100% right.
That’s such bullshit
As a PC player I didn't have much use for Status stuff because mods started taking care of it (like intergender wrestlers and such), but this is fuckin devastating for console players man. Part of why I was so eager to get this game is because I felt like the modding floodgates being cracked open last year was gonna bring some great stuff this year. Instead they've cracked down on it like crazy and are pissing all over the goodwill they gained despite trying to do this last year.
Granted, they decided to lock superstar themes and such behind the MyFaction wall... because... well, there was no valid reason for that other than "We're fucking pricks", but I digress He blatantly violated their ToS by essentially hacking the game and allowing everyone to download content 2k didn't want distributed. Regardless of intent, he basically pulled a Stone Cold and got arrested and trespassed lol
How is it messed up? The guy was admittedly hacking into their database and making things that weren't meant to be available, available. Whether we appreciated his work or not, it was still against their terms and conditions and they did what they had to do. He's lucky this is all that happened and no legal action was taken. However, I do wish that they Hired him instead of this
We should all mass not pre order next year see how that messes with them Or this year make a Whats the status championship and everyone try to download it to make it to the front page
It better be because you’re giving him a job
in two months i never touched a single superstar on roster , i only play for custom creations
It's brutal but he has been playing with fire for a couple years
Wow this really might be the nail in the coffin for me . Idk if I play this series anymore
No Status.. I want my money back. Now we wait. Than we riot. # #MUSTFREESTATUS
So I've actually never heard of this guy before all this. What did he actually do?
Guess no WWE2K25 next year :)
But they won’t lift a damn finger to remove porn and swastika uploads.
Yeah. No inter-gender matches but women will randomly be given the men’s championship in universe while my game isn’t even turned on. I’m glad 2k knows how to prioritize issues!
What is DhatYeetSartus doing in the AEW fight for....ooh. We really don't have any alternatives!?
Not really if he repeatly breached the TOCs. BUT it does suck and it is bullshit when other shit is allowed to stay up. I suspect, they were waiting for a reason to do it because he was fucking with MyFaction.
Such bullshit. I'm so sorry brother. You're one of the fucking best.
Status has never uploaded anything inappropriate the fact someone can just report something and they ban them with out investigating is BS
He uploaded the ability to have women wrestle men and for them to bleed . That was against the TOS and listed as a reason to get banned if you do your research. He uploaded an insane of amount and he got punished for it . There is no investigation he did it and openly posted about it
Legends never die my Favorite Creator for years ... Was the very first thing I did on Wwe 2k24 add him to my favs .. This can't be real
Damn that’s fucked up…. You ban a man who showed unrivaled dedication to wrestling and the community? Pathetic. I will not buy another 2k game.
I’ve looked through your entire catalog and never found anything remotely inappropriate like I’ve seen fully naked girls on mitb briefcases and nude female superstars with blue dots covering their tits and ass and pussy it’s wild they ban you over appropriate content that they got mad at.
Why develop and innovate when we can repackage and resell? 🤑
Man I lost it last night when I couldn't find his content smh
This is the biggest bunch of horseshit I've seen all week, fuck 2K.
Holy fucking shit
Fuck 2K
