This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
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.
Yeah, I honestly like manually kicking cheaters! However, it is not enough on its own. It doesn't help when BOTS join the game in hordes and outnumber the human players enough to make themselves impossible to kick...
That is, I would prefer even bots to a kernel-level resteictive anticheat.
Well, since the only persons on his mind appear to be Trump and himself: Yeah, everybody's cheating.
In a single player game, yeh.
Cheating in a game that impacts other people is trash
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.
It tracks with everything else. He also bought Tesla in order to become a 'founder'.
Not just bought either, he had to sue them too in order to be called a founder.
Man who never earned anything a day in his life continues streak by not earning video game achievements.

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.
Yeah, but it will annoy him.
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.
Idk how anyone can say he is not a real gamer after the nazi salutes seen side by side with his twitter history.
This is a distraction. Ignore it.
Whaabout being a founder of Tesla?
What do Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning have to do with Elon lying about having mad gaming skills?
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
Because it’s the same thing. He’s boasting about other people’s achievement. He gives them money and pretends he did it.
Known liar founding lying. More obvious observations at 5!
I don't even want to joke about this anymore.
Stay strong and resist folks.
Not many individuals manage to form a stain of shame on their related species. I guess he is, indeed, remarkable in that way.
Buying someone else's ball and going home.
Who the fuck cares? 😦
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.
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.

People need to cheat at Diablo 4?
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.
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.
He didn't say "account boosting", he said they share accounts. I don't play PoE, much less competitively, so I don't know if that's true, but let's assume it is. Just disclose it. Like, disclose it publicly before you play the game. Don't deny it after being called out on it and then retaliate against the person calling you out on your platform like a petty manchild, then disclose it in private. If anything, people will respect you more for being someone who doesn't play video games all day every day like it's their job.
