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.

Yes it is.

If it is possible, record your screen and send a ticket to Behaviour at their site.

Yeah it is I was suspended for playing around with one of my buddies like that with the huntress he couldnt get out and i was suspended for 48 hours for it before only held him in place for a minute or two lol I ain't pulling that joke again not even for 30 seconds. He somehow was booked with me in a public match with strangers and someone seen us with me cornering him and they reported.

I usually don't mind if it's just one or two minutes, but 40? Does this guy have no hobbies or places to be? I'd definitely mention that detail in the support ticket. Don't forget his Steam-ID.

What about the quote from Cote (I think it was him) about it not being a hostage situation until "45 minutes or so" have passed?

I mean, we have that on video.

Rules will change all the time as some will walk the fine line just to grief others.

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.
