Shroud was checking out some of the upcoming titles that were being advertised by Microsoft at their annual press conference, when one of his subscribers suggested that it was a promotion he was being paid for. It’s fair to say that the viewer’s idea didn’t go down too well with the former CS:GO pro player.

“Hey, where are you? Hey, hey bitch,” he said, before scrolling through the chat and quickly banning the user from his channel. “I’m not getting paid for this, but I wish. Get the fuck out of my chat. [Get] the fuck out of here!”
The former Cloud9 member was checking out Microsoft Flight Simulator, a game which allows players to become a pilot from the comfort of their own home, and will be made available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers when it first launches in 2020.
