In Beast Games, one thousand players battle it out through a series of ‘physical, mental and social’ challenges for a chance to win the jackpot in a contest that has been compared to Squid Game and Hunger Games. Before the show landed on Amazon Prime on December 19, it was hit by claims of sexual harassment, ‘inhumane’ conditions and insufficient wages by contestants. In November, MrBeast said on X the allegations were ‘blown out of proportion.’.

On X, fans were left appalled after watching the first ‘dystopian’ episode which premiered on December 19 and argued it encouraged the ‘worst of human nature’ as the players behave ‘appallingly’ to remain in the competition. @fakeart09 raged: ‘#BeastGames represents the worst of human nature, selfish, individualistic, push someone down so you can stand high all directed by a guy who broke the system and now throws endless amounts of money around to push people to their limits. It’s squid game capitalism.’.
