It's not that he's bad at games, it's that he used illegal methods to cheat his way into being one of the Top Diablo IV and POE 2 players, and when the devs of the latter called bullshit (Blizzard being the old men who yell at clouds didn't because they thought being associated with Elon was a positive thing) so he played on a new account to "Prove" he was "Just that good"

And basically did the Action RPG equivilent of dying to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros.' World 1-1 at a live convention where your speedrunning skills are the main attraction
