    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.” 🙄

      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.

    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.

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

        It shows you a trend. What other things has he lied about?? He knows more about manufacturing than anyone else… Look at the POS cybertruk

        Full self driving will be here next year… Yep 2016 is here and gone, no FSD…

        Starship will get us to the mars…

        The manchild is a compulsive liar and a fucking Nazi

    Not many individuals manage to form a stain of shame on their related species. I guess he is, indeed, remarkable in that way.

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

    Or did I fall for a meme/shitpost?

      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.

      He’s the President of one of the more powerful countries in the world, so I think a lot of people.

      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.
