Hello folks,
On November 28th, 2021, I was sent an anonymous message alleging players currently competing in Age of Empires IV and formerly Project Celeste, Age of Empires Online revival project, had been bullying and harassing another person. Upon speaking further, this person alleged that two players in particular, and a group, in general, had been targeting that person for harassment and had scammed them once over a period spanning 2017 to 2019.
Before I go into any further detail, I want to emphasize that as soon as the allegations were made and potential evidence turned over, I contacted an authoritative figure in the scene to make them aware of the situation. Whether that will turn into its own investigation is unknown to me and made unclear in their statements to me following the reporting of the allegations.
I wish to publish this to allow others in the competitive scene to see what is presented, come to their own conclusions, and determine if any actions are necessary. I’ve tried to be as thorough as possible with my limited time and resources. As far as I think I can feasibly take this investigation into the allegations.
