    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.” 🙄

      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.

    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 don’t recall saying anything about even attempting to change his behaviour, anyone with half a brain knows that’s a lost cause. The point is being a thorn in his side. He clearly cares or he wouldn’t invest the time and money into these games.

        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

        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.

      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.

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

    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?
