I whole heartedly believe that he got the high score legitimately.

Primo joystick dude looks tired

What are you talking about it's as competitive as ever
Have you seen the prize pools of esport tournaments?

It's more popular than ever

Those are filled with cheaters, and aren't real competitions

What the fuck do you mean? Competitive gaming is a multi million dollar industry

Is this the guy that shot down 87 enemy planes?

What in the holy fuck are you even talking about?

The new kids can't just play for fun or to get better these days that's why. All they want is rewards and more content 24/7. Back when CoD4 was still being played, I spent many hours playing pickups for fun and just to get better at the game.

because they're doing it for just the fame and fortune, not because they enjoy the game.

>multi million dollar industry
valve alone makes over $100,000,000 a year on a single one of their games tournament passes. it's easily multi billions

Then you are as deluded as Billy the faggot himself.
Lads a cheating cunt.

High scores are inherently interesting because it's something the game itself tracks. Speedrunning doesn't have that same "Average Joe" appeal.

The most popular games are almost entirely competitive.

Hi, it's Billy. Just wanted to check in and remind you that I bullied a grown ass man so fucking hard they made a documentary about it and Netflix spammed that shit in your recommended feeds and that's why you know about me. I just wanted to make hot sauce and play arcade games, but YouTube faggots got so fucking butthurt over it that they started making hit pieces on me. One of them took shit a little too far, so I sued his ass into the afterlife. He "an hero'd", to use your dumbass terminology. Then another faggot speedrunner commentator (what the fuck even is that) tried to shut me down, so I sent my crack legal team paid for by the hot sauce reviewers (because they all love my hot sauce, it's in stores RIGHT NOW and I know you jackasses love hot sauce so buy it) after his ass and then he cried bitch tears and shut the fuck up until one of his patreon lawyers said they MIGHT have me in a corner and he started yapping again. Then he shut the fuck up real fucking quick. Why? He knows but I forced his ass to sign a NDA with my dick. My wife was cool with it. In fact, I think she gets off on it.

Later, suckers.
