xQc has addressed the absence of several major GTA RP streamers from NoPixel 5.0, including Summit1G and Chang Gang members. The NoPixel co-owner said some players chose to leave the server and build their own community, while others had previously criticized NoPixel. xQc argued that Summit could return if he wanted, but claimed he is staying away because his friends were not invited. NoPixel 5.0 launched on September 8.
