That was i think the most revealing thing about his character bar none because of how mundane it all was.

Anyone with a tiny bit of video game background called that out from miles away. It was so pathetic. Richest dude in world with spaceship company. Has nothing to prove. Cheats, lies, and gaslights when caught.

Has to be “number one” at a video game that has virtually zero skill where rank is almost entirely who grinds more. Eg time.

What a weird and sad thing to do. So unimaginably insecure.

Any billionaire you know the name of, is probably not too far off from this. There are alot of rich people who are secure with themselves. Zuck aint one if em.

The mask was off way way before this imo but I think you’re right that inanity of it is telling in a lot of ways.
Agree with everything else but POE does have a high skill ceiling, it’s just more of a strategic game than tactical.
Did he cheat at other games too? I knew of the Path of Exile 2 incident, but I'd hardly call that a zero-skill game.
