H1Z1 cheaters allowed back if they publicly apologize on YouTube

H1Z1

Some feel that getting a ban hammer for life after being caught cheating is a little extreme, and I agree. We make mistakes from time to time, and everyone deserves a second chance once punishment has been doled out and the crime atoned for.

H1Z1 developer Daybreak Game Company also agrees that players who have been expelled from its game are welcome to come back after a heartfelt apology. No, not an apology to the developers themselves, though. What does that accomplish besides a guilt-free trip back into the expansive, anonymous unknown? No, if you want back into H1Z1, you have to make your apology real and do it in front of those who you cheated against…

…through YouTube! You know, public shaming.

Daybreak’s John Smedely has the guidelines on his Twitter page.

Don’t ever say that a decent public shaming is an insufficient punishment. It does work. Already, three people have apologized, and Smedley has their videos linked into his Twitter account. Be sure to check them out! Talk about awkward!

Great system, and maybe others will follow suit. A lifetime ban is never the answer, and this should be penance enough to at least let the H1Z1 community consider letting people back. Daybreak is only offering this temporarily, and three players out of the 30,000 banned have been let back in. One is even having his ban reinstated for making the video private after the decision to let him back in was made. Harsh!

This offer expires today at noon, so if you were one of those people banned by Daybreak, by all means, you better hurry up! Just be sure to look like this guy when you do.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
