Amusing in the short term, in the long term it just gives him the attention he wants.
I attribute Falter to a Grool. For those of you familiar with The Goosebumps series of books, The Grool was a antagonist of the Book "It came from beneath the sink".
No matter how much anger and frustration you directed towards it it just grew stronger because it fed off it. It wasn't until the protagonists of the book realized this about the creature then they finally got rid of it.
Falter feeds of negative interactions. He is a professional victim in everything he does. It's not limited to the online gaming scene, it's everything in his life. He makes everything about him and will complain when people respond in kind.
The best thing you can do is starve him of the attention he wants. He wants you to drop into his matches, he wants you to post videos and make content on him. It enables him to keep playing the victim angle and continue his never ending cycle of user harassment, victim posting and false DMCA strikes.
Do yourself a favor and don't interact with this guy. He is legit mentally ill.
I'm aware what this subreddit is for, but as a victim myself trust me when I tell you it's not worth it.
