The man actually hired a professional gamer to play a video game for him and then bragged about how skilled he was. Instead of enjoying the experience and collaborating with other players, he cheated. For him, it’s never about having fun; it’s about claiming a win he didn’t earn but paid for.

Actors think they are "special" ... that they are "artists" and it would be somehow unethical to replace them ... now they are butt-hurt over the possibility of being shown up by a different, but similar, variety of creature ... they are afraid of losing the celebrity they are so accustomed to.
