A few hot takes of mine:
- Something small is throwing off someone's calculations ... Perhaps some small fact about the RNGs that is not common knowledge
- I'm a 31 year old and followed the events and was thoroughly on Dreams side, and accepted his (handwavey despite hiring a math person) explanation, mostly on character and verisimilitude
- The consensus of most people seems to be that he cheated and is a convincing liar, sort of a magician in a way
- The fact his cheating is the crowd consensus among adults made me question my initial beliefs
- I don't have time to go down the rabithole but I also don't really care if he cheated as his achievments as an entertainer stand alone. If he did cheat, he's just loveable scum
In summary... He cheated?
- faeriechangling 5y agoLets put it this way. The RNG in Dream's version of Minecraft was acting so astronomically far outside of the norm, that we can't consider Dream's world record run as being valid. He was essentially playing a different game, and it would be absurd to give somebody a world record for the good fortune of playing on a busted version of Minecraft. The linked video is a response to the anonymous statistician associated with Dream. Now, I think there's one explanation that's more likely than others as to how Dream ended up playing on a rigged version of Minecraft.
