Spending countless hours out of passion and for the benefit of other's is truly awe-inspiring. Rarely do they get the spotlight, but their work is often so crucial and impactful. Props to Donadigo.

Yet they didn't look into it for 10 years. In the latest game the inputs are encrypted before storing them into the replay files. Therefore we cannot use the same method to look for cheated runs.

Personally, this feels like the worst case of cheating in a modern game I've seen on this channel. Trackmania's only objective is to go fast, this isn't just a speedrunner thing... everyone is racing to be 1st. For it to go on for so long and someone to build such a career and make what I can only assume is a lot of fucking money out of it is messed up. As I understand, Riolu has been streaming and effectively made his career this game for ages. To have the whole thing cheated is messed up. He stole money from legitimate fans who donated to him thinking he earned his acomplishments.

You are extremely good at putting videos together. The narrativ always explains things well, so that even I - who know very little about speedruning - can understand the mechanics behind a game, and how those mechanics are misused. It's informative and interesting, not boring or dull. The clips you use are relevant and accompanies the narrative very well. I really think that you can make a carrier out of this talent. I mean, you could make a video on how paint dryes, and I'd still watch and be interested. Keep up the great work YOU ABSOLUT LEGEND! Greetings from Denmark. 🇩🇰 😊

All of that just non-existent from one day to the other sicne then. People, don't cheat. Or if you do, don't pass it off as legit.

I know I'm a bit late here, but I've been playing Trackmania since 2011 and I'm feeling mugged off knowing, that a guy, that played this game for 1 week completely smashed my PB of 24.18 by 2 tenths of a second...

I do like that the tone of your videos convey less "reveling in schadenfreude" and more just focus on being informative, including giving an insight on the games' mechanics themselves before anything and even incentivising people to try out the games/speedruns themselves. This stuff keeps communities healthy without handing out pitchforks and it's great.

always interesting to see these community dynamics. great work on how they analysed these inputs, and found out who slowed down the game. i wonder if there are ways to detect other cheating methods, like virtual controllers/inputs. p.e. comparing multiple runs, if they have segments with equal values or so.

Personally, the thing I find the most amazing about this is the amount of work and research that Donadigo put into exposing the cheaters, and how methodical and rigorous his methodology was. Those skills can be applied to so many spheres of life. If someone hasn't already, I hope someone offers him a job where he can put those skills to good use.
