    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.

    What a loser.

    I totally understand people who use cheat engine or similar to break games and to have fun seeing what they can do. Skipping content. Whatever.

    But those that cheat to be able to boast… pathetic.

    And then he’s like “well, everyone’s doing it.” 🙄

      Honestly, one of the big reasons multiplayer sucks now is because of cheaters. You wanna cheat in a single-player game? I couldn’t give less of a shit. But giving yourself an unfair advantage while playing against other people is pathetic and ruins the game for everyone…

        Yup. For me it is Lethal Company. While we run from tbe monsters in fear for our lives they have god mode, etc. Which simply ruins the cooperative aspect and just the entire game for everyone involved. Why even play? I guess they enjoy seeing people reaxt to their hacks but I dont give them anything, simply quit immediately as soon as I find out.

        I totally agree.

        I agree so much, that I’m always upset when I see comments on a post about anti-cheat software that only focus on the downsides of needing it. They never acknowledge the need.

          Anticheat became a necessity because too many games decided to remove the ability for players to host their own servers. This sucks a lot when people get some games that have SP/MP but never really bother with the MP part

          There’s also the problem that most anticheat software will only stop the laziest cheaters, usually the ones that aren’t willing to pay for the cheating software. There are a bunch of cheat-focused forums and creating the software can be profitable.

          The benefit of an anticheat can be replaced by an old-fashioned kick vote system. The downside of an anticheat is that I’d need to install Windows and a rootkit on my computer to play some games. Not a problem till a younger relative is over and you have to explain how your gaming PC won’t run Fortnite or GTA Online for security and ideology reasons.

        This ^

        If I’m playing by myself I’ll use cheats if I feel like it, like messing around, or if I wanna get that ONE unlock that I’ve been trying at for months now and I just wanna be done with it…

        But in an online game lad? There’s no glory in ruining other people’s fun.

    If he says he’s top 20 player and it turns out he bought that account then what does that mean for the credibility of his other supposed achievements? Oops.

    I’m sure if there was actual worthy news this wouldn’t be reported on however there is obviously nothing else happening so clearly we need to talk about this instead.

    This goes against the TOS for both games. If you play either, I highly recommend flooding them with reports on that. It would be great to see him banned. He’ll probably just set up a new account and start again, but it’ll cost him and you know he’ll keep cheating so you can just rinse and repeat.

      You’re talking about a guy that could pay 100 million dollars for a new account and not even notice. He obviously wouldn’t pay anywhere near that much for something like this. There is no financial cost you can force on him that will change his behavior.

    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.

      It reveals his character pretty well in a clear and verifiable way.

      He denied it strongly. Only to have people call him out all over the place which eventually triggered him to admit to it.

        And more importantly It reveals his character in a way that some of his die hard supporters might actually care about.

        He’s been shedding fans for a long time now, but way slower than he’s been going off the rails, because the things he’s done have rarely been directly contradictory to the image his fans have of him. Sure taken as a whole they are, but individual actions can be written off as haters using cult logic.

        This though, this is… just so pathetic… so blatantly approval seeking and manipulative tendencies.

      My initial reaction mirrored yours; who even gives a shit? But seeing how people have been responding, apparently quite a few. And I’m left here, just utterly blown away that it’s this that is making people angry. This? Not all the Nazi shit? Inciting riots? All the molest-y allegations? Lying about a goddamn video game?

      Please, asteroid, hurry the fuck up already. C’mon monkey pox, do your stuff.

        Believe it or not, a lot of us are actually capable of being angry about more than one thing at a time.
