gamers are stepping up their game against Punjabi. Investigation reveals that the ESU were alerted to Punjabi's house by a phony 911 call, or 'swatting', another indication that the K.O.B.S. Later, when Punjabi is giving an online interview via webcam, her house is raided by the NYPD ESU SWAT team in the middle of the podcast. Fin takes personal interest due to being an avid video gamer himself, but is still able to discern reality from the world of video games, unlike other gamers. SVU is called in once one of Punjabi's employees is assaulted at a gamer convention, and it involves a game known as 'Kill Or Be Slaughtered' (K.O.B.S.). Raina Punjabi is preparing to debut her first video game, Amazonian Warriors, but finds herself being threatened numerous times by the male-dominated gaming community, who believe that women can't excel in the video game development and gaming overall. Raina, however, refuses to delay the launch, even as she herself is kidnapped, and the NYPD must play along with the gaming-obsessed captors to get her back. When one of her (predominantly female) employees is assaulted at a gamer convention, Detective Tutuola investigates the crime. Notable video game developer Raina Punjabi solidifies the launch of her first game amid a stream of online insults, intimidation and death threats from the male-dominated gaming community.
