> Why do you talk about hours per day? Does it matter if you play less hours per day, but more days?

Because the only way to level up your character is to grind through a dungeon. You'll get experience for doing so. Every time you level up your character, it takes exponentially more experience to hit the next level.

I don't remember the exact number of hours per day that are required to hit the levels his characters are at, but it's in excess of 14+ hours/day.

Combine that with the evidence from his live streaming that he doesn't actually know how to play these games, and it's clear that he can't have achieved the character levels he has on his own.

This youtube video has a decent breakdown of the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N-WW0UDrVQ

To be clear, I don't think anyone really cares that he's paying for a leveled up account. What people care about is that he's taking credit for achieving the high level on his own, when that's obviously not true.

Q: Why would a person with $300 billion feel the need to lie about being good at a video game?

A: Likely because deception has become habitual/reflexive for them.

This one is considerably shorter, and I feel does a good and quick breakdown.
