    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.” 🙄

      Well, since the only persons on his mind appear to be Trump and himself: Yeah, everybody’s cheating.

      I mainly just have Cheat Engine in order to reduce save scumming in Monster Rancher and keep monsters I like alive longer. I specifically avoid doing anything with the online because I know it’s not fair to everyone else. Though some use mods and cheats for the same game just to make it harder.

    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.

          Interestingly my instant seems to cache the original photo. If I go on the website it’s a different image he still looks like prick though.

            Nah, but it’s part of the radicalisation stream. Get them when they’re feeling worthless, point a finger and say it’s not you, it’s them. Once they’ve bought in, point at someone else. Keep going and next thing you know, you’ve made a domestic terrorist.

    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.

    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’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.

    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.

        Because it’s the same thing. He’s boasting about other people’s achievement. He gives them money and pretends he did it.
