The Brazilian player has disclosed his profound passion for first-person shooter video games, having invested a staggering £30,000 ($38,000) in in-game purchases. Gabriel Jesus owns a personalized M4A1-S Hot Rod gun valued at £630 ($800), adorned with various decorative stickers on the barrel. However, his excessive indulgence led to severe consequences, resulting in a substantial penalty from the developers, and his account remains banned.
Expressing his predicament, Jesus took to the platform X and implored Valve, the game developer, to reinstate his account. In a message, he wrote, “Hi @counterstrike, my account received an unjust VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) ban; can you assist me? Please follow the account link and provide a print of the ban.”
The ban allegedly occurred on Saturday, coinciding with Jesus’s on-field contribution to Arsenal’s 5-0 triumph over Crystal Palace. Despite assisting in Leandro Trossard’s goal, as well as witnessing own goals from Dean Henderson and a late brace from Gabriel Martinelli, Jesus faced the setback of his gaming account being banned.
Jesus frequently shares his gaming adventures on Twitch and has previously streamed a session with fellow Brazilian player Neymar, attracting a substantial audience of over 10,000 viewers. However, a portion of Arsenal fans expressed satisfaction with his ban, given his goal drought in the Premier League, extending over a month since his last goal against Brighton on December 17 in a 2-0 victory.
As Jesus aims to rediscover his scoring form, the striker faces the risk of social media backlash from fans already growing impatient. His return to competitive action is set against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday in the Premier League, with Arsenal hosting Liverpool at the Emirates on February 4.
