    Just excuses. Not like I care, but he’ll never actually own up to this or apologize for being rude to people who called him out.

    Who’d of thought. A billionaire a cheater. /s

    These people cheat at every aspects of life, society rewards narcissism, rewards people willing to forgo morals. We have systematised this were we can look at hi school bullies and have a vague idea where they will end up.

    These people aren’t worthy of our respect, and we need to make it known.

      He needs to pretend to be a top tier gamer to win the affection of internet strangers because he craves validation and attention.

      Natural born grifter and liar.

          Yes but he has no time for this sh*t of course. If you want to reach this kind of levels, you need to play hours and hours per day. And every day of the week. Nobody has time for that.

            Precisely, whenever I heard Diablo 4 I had my doubts, at the least I expected he paid others to grind out some of the time sink stuff. Should’ve picked a game thats less time intensive, though I’m sure he’d cheat anyways.

        To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that’s one thing. He’s claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it’s meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they’ve been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say… on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user… and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.

    I just remembered that Grimes came out defending him on this topic.

    Or did I fall for a meme/shitpost?

      She said something about Diablo that I didn’t understand as someone who doesn’t play that game but apparently confirming that, at one time, he was very skilled. Which is absolutely meaningless in a context where he pays people to play for him and then pretends that he did it.

        Diablo IV gives scaled advantage for having very good equipment, and you can spend tons of time getting that equipment optimized. If someone else got him max rolled equipment and all he did was pilot it, it might look to someone who is a non-gamer that he is amazing at the game. You’d have to get the honest opinion of other top tier gamers if he is actually skillful.

        Some builds all you have to do is keep spamming one or two attack buttons to wipe out all enemies.

    I enjoy that the meta image is him doing the nazi salute

    Not that I like him doing it, just that it’s being shown around.
