    Elon, you don’t need to apologize for anything.

    You’ve shown the people you were trying to impress, exactly who you are. A liar, a cheat, a pay2win newb pretending to be hot shit but failing terribly on it, the worst kind of gamer that most gamers have encountered.

    He should deal with his accounts being banned, because account sharing is against the tos in both games.

        GGG is based out of New Zealand, they don’t have to care about any political ramifications unlike Actiblizz

          What did I say to suggest it had anything to do with politics?

            For what reasons other than political would blizzard want to stay on his good side? Or do you think Elon’s money in the cosmetic store would just be that valuable to them?

    I see we’ve hit the “it wasn’t that big a deal” part of the Narcissist’s Prayer.

      You forgot: expresses a complete lack of moral capacity to understand why he should feel bad about it.

    What cracks me up is I prefer pve. I like cooperative play but not really competitive play in games. It always seemed to me the pvp community had so many people looking to get an advantage or were ok with cheating. Funny thing is it does not even matter if you cheat in pve as its just your own gameplay. I mean like in doom I would do the full map cheat when I got to the exit to go back and get everything but I did not want it till I got through the level. I mean its still cheating but there is a reason I did not use the unlimited ammo or health or such codes.

    It’s interesting that his thought process is, “It’s not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!”

    I mean, the thought process he’s admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”

      Not exactly “interesting” - he’s just deeply narcissistic. Here’s a handy guide:

      "That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

      (Current story sits here)

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

      And if it is, that’s not my fault.

      And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

      And if I did, you deserved it."
