Pokemon TCG streamer under fire for destroying god pack viewer won fair and square
A Pokemon TCG streamer on Whatnot is under fire for destroying a god pack that a viewer won fair and square because he didn’t like how it was won.
Over the last few years, manyPokemon TCGresellers have started live streaming as a way to sell their packs online through a method called ‘Rip and Ship.’
The buyer makes a purchase, and then the streamer opens the pack before sending the user all of the cards inside. These streams exist acrossTwitch, Kick, andWhatnot, and often include giveaways to viewers who make purchases.
One Pokemon TCG streamer learned the winner of his giveaway filled out his form instead of making a purchase and promptly destroyed the pack. As a result, the streamer has come under fire across social media by fans of the hobby.

A video of the stream went viral after being posted to X, with hundreds of fans sharing their thoughts in the comments.
“A WhatNot streamer destroys a “buyer giveaway” demi-god pack because the winner entered for free by filling out a form,” the post read.
After crumbling the pack and destroying its contents, the streamer discovered that it was a pack of high-end cards that fans have dubbed a “demi-god” pack.

“You’re doing giveaways. Whoever wins, wins. I sell on whatnot and I don’t care about goblins. Giveaways are your marketing budget. Also, dude broke ToS and actual US laws on sweepstakes. ‘No purchase necessary’,” one user replied.

Another asked: “Would this count as destruction of property since the pack was technically won already by the person? Expensive cards damaged.”
“What???? Why???? It’s like people don’t have any responsibility for their actions. That’s really upsetting to see. Someone winning a cool pack of cards should be celebrated, not punished,” a third said.
This isn’t the first Pokemon TCG streamer to spark backlash over the last few months, either. Back in November, one user went viralafter he was caught opening packswhile driving down the highway.
