Elon Musk's alleged cheating in Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 has sparked controversy, with fans questioning the integrity of the games and the developers' response. Screenshots of a private conversation revealed Musk's admission to paying for account boosting, a violation of both games' terms of service.
Account boosting, where a player pays another to level up their account, is a clear breach of Blizzard Entertainment's and Grinding Gear Games' rules. Despite this, both companies have declined to comment on whether they will ban Musk's accounts, leading to criticism from players.
Forum posts express outrage at the perceived lack of action against Musk, suggesting that his wealth allows him to circumvent the rules. Players question the fairness of the game and the credibility of real money trading (RMT) enforcement when such a high-profile individual openly admits to cheating.
Both Blizzard and Grinding Gear Games have remained silent, with Blizzard stating they don't comment on individual player actions. This silence fuels the controversy, leaving many players feeling that the integrity of the games is compromised.
Musk's claims of high-level gaming prowess have been challenged. His performance in livestreams raised doubts about his skill, leading to speculation about account boosting. A direct message conversation with YouTuber NikoWrex confirmed Musk's use of account boosting, justifying it as necessary to compete with Asian players. He also clarified that while he personally streams gameplay, his high-level character achievements were not solely his own.
Musk's ex-partner, Grimes, defended him, claiming to have witnessed his gaming achievements. However, further allegations surfaced when his Path of Exile 2 character appeared active while Musk was in Washington for Trump's inauguration. The situation continues to generate debate about fairness, accountability, and the impact of wealth on online gaming communities.
