[2022] Is it bannable to hold survivor hostage?

Originally posted by RamboRusina: yeah, if your whole team is dead and no EGC has been triggered you can report him for holding game hostage.

It is irrespective of whether other players are in the match or not.

Yes, if you are being held hostage in the game (and EGC has not started), then this is a reportable offence and against the game rules.

It does not matter if other survivors are alive and can complete gens, the important point is that someone is actively prevented from playing the game.

We've definitely reduced the time from 45 minutes. There's also absolutely no reason for a player to hold another player hostage for any length of time (prior to EGC having started), so it's definitely griefing a player when it's done.
