Donkey Kong Champion Wins Defamation Case Against Australian YouTuber Karl Jobst
mercredi 2 avril 2025, 00:10 , par Slashdot
![]() Jobst, who makes videos about 'speed running' (finishing games as fast as possible), as well as gaming records and cheating in games, made a number of allegations against Mitchell in a 2021 YouTube video. He accused Mitchell of cheating, and 'pursuing unmeritorious litigation' against others who had also accused him of cheating, the court judgment stated. The court heard Mitchell was accused in 2017 of cheating in his Donkey Kong world records by using emulation software instead of original arcade hardware. Twin Galaxies investigated the allegation, and subsequently removed Mitchell's scores and banned him from participating in its competitions. The Guinness World Records disqualified Mitchell as a holder of all his records -- in both Donkey Kong and Pac-Man -- after the Twin Galaxies decision. The judgment stated that Jobst's 2021 video also linked the December 2020 suicide of another YouTuber, Apollo Legend, to 'stress arising from [his] settlement' with Mitchell, and wrongly asserted that Apollo Legend had to pay Mitchell 'a large sum of money.'
