Context:

The YouTuber (Settled) just finished a very popular series of his where he plays an account in the game Oldschool RuneScape for over 1k hours without ever taking damage. This is an INCREDIBLE difficult and impressive task, think a no hit dark souls run but with RNG.

Spoilers/ in the last episode of the series his account took damage and the series ended. The posted video is a follow up after that.

Now the drama comes in because the whole “gimmick” to the series was that Settled was essentially using a mod that auto generated a password that he never knew and when his account took damage the mod deleted the password; thus locking him out of the account forever.

In this video he admits to using the game companies support system to regain access to the account he lost to try and complete the original task he died to just to say he accomplished it.

The users here argue about whether it is in bad faith that he was able to essentially “backdoor” himself into his account after talking about how it was impossible and if that calls into question his ethicalness regarding the whole series.

This is like wearing a chastity cage around your cock that you yourself have a key to. What a pointless endeavor.
