FaZe Sway (aka Josue Sway) has confirmed that Epic Games has removed his creator code. 

The 17-year-old streamer, who has 1.4 million followers on Twitter, let his audience know that his code has been removed permanently - and he's not happy about it. 

The screenshot, that appears to be an email from Epic Games, reads: "Upon investigating your case and your account, I was able to confirm, that we have permanently disabled your Support-A-Creator due to violations of the Terms of Service you agreed upon when joining the program. That means that we cannot enable your account and that you are permanently removed from the Support-A-Creator program."

He later Tweeted: "lowkey needed this as a wake up call, bouta start going crazy on everything now."

In a stream explaining the situation, he confirmed that he had already 'made a lot of money' from the code, and that he 'doesn't care'. 

The reasoning appears to be that Sway played on viewers accounts, as Epic Games sent him an email, which directly referenced account sharing. Sway has confirmed that he will be streaming on Twitch for the 'whole day' in a series of Tweets. 

The American is known for playing Fortnite, and got millions of followers off the back of his gameplay.

Fans appear to be rallying round the creator, with one dan writing: "That's it, I can't bear deal with Epic's nonsense and unbelievably bad decisions. Using code yosway gave me the will to live and without it I'm hopeless, desperate for anything that could possibly make his code come back. I can't even explain how much anger I have built up."

This comes after other FaZe Clan members were dropped from the organisation following cryptocurrency drama. 

FaZe removed Kay from their organisation amid allegations of using their influence to promote cryptocurrency whilst "dumping" their investments. Kay's brother Jarvis was also suspended from FaZe Clan, alongside Nikan and Teeqo.  

Later Kay was outed by YouTube personality, Coffeezilla, and in return reportedly attempted to sue him
