The first Pirate Legend in Sea of Thieves has been named — but after streaming his achievement, the game’s biggest thus far, Twitch user Prod1gyX has set off widespread backlash among the Sea of Thieves community.

Prod1gyX began streaming his attempt to unlock the Pirate Legend title shortly after Sea of Thieves launched on March 20. Developer Rare said prior to the game’s release that becoming a Pirate Legend — which requires players to hit level 50 across all three of Sea of Thieves’ factions, a process that involves lots of sailing, puzzle solving and even complicated riddles — was the ultimate goal for individual players. That’s why the continuous stream amassed a growing number of viewers, who were eager to see what the touted status would actually unlock.
