He's on the spectrum. People are projecting racism where it doesn't exist. Unfortunately negative posts get more views and interaction than positive ones, so most people are wired to assume the worst.
At first, I also kinda thought it was a bit suspect.
But I've got 2000 hours in POE1 and about 250 in 2, and when I am baked, I make each and every "mistake" that he did on stream. Sure, I think he even admitted to using RMT for currency, and that in itself is honesty. But come one, did anyone really think that the richest man in the universe wasn't going to buy some currency to fast-track into endgame?
I think a lot of the hate against him is jealousy. And look, I'm from SA too, he isn't my favorite person, but I think he has done pretty well for himself, so if the man wants to send rockets up into space, whilst also wanting to be playing end end game POE2 without grinding thousands of hours, then let the man buy a few mirrors.
Hell, he's probably nice enough to offer to buy a mirror for all his followers 😅
There's too much hate in the world, we gotta focus on happiness and kindness a bit more.
