Dunkey \u201capologizes\u201d for believing Dream cheated his Minecraft speedruns YouTube: VideogamedunkeyThe saga of Dream\u2019s supposed cheating to achieve Minecraft speedrun records is still dragging on, even after his response to the claims. At least Videogamedunkey has come out with an apology \u2013 of sorts \u2013 after initially believing the accusations. Never one to be taken too seriously, Dunkey initially covered the drama when the speedrun moderators made their claims about Dream\u2019s \u201ctoo lucky to be genuine\u201d time in Minecraft. Although he was tongue-in-cheek, his video covering the allegations actually racked up more views than the allegation video itself, so it certainly spread the word of the drama even further. Dream has since posted an in-depth response, claiming to have drafted in the help of an Astrophysicist PhD from Harvard to do the calculations, and the findings appear to disprove the moderators\u2019 math. Dunkey\u2019s message to Dream Not everyone was convinced though \u2013 some poked holes in the defense, and were also critical that the name of the Astrophysicist was not given. Whether you believe he cheated or not now comes down to personal choice in who you believe, but Dunkey as at least come out to apologize for \u2018jumping on the bandwagon.\u2019 \u201cSomehow I just got sucked into the hype, and the drama, and I got on the \u2018Dream cheated\u2019 bandwagon,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just me who fell for the trap, all of you thought he cheated, don\u2019t lie.\u201d However, Dunkey didn\u2019t seem totally convinced by Dream\u2019s defense either, poking fun at the \u20181 in 100 million\u2019 figure given by his researcher (still substantially less than the 1 in 7.5 trillion which the moderators had claimed). However, the research presented by Dream actually claimed that the odds were statistically insignificant, and fell within the possibility of random chance. \u201cI think Dream\u2019s video made a lot of great points, and it really disproved all the haters out there,\u201d Dunkey continues in his apology. \u201cAgain, I just want to apologize to Dream for jumping the gun on this. It\u2019s really not like the internet to hop on a moronic bandwagon, with absolutely no credible information to back their claims,\u201d he finished, sarcastically of course. Dream\u2019s rebuttal video has now racked up 5.4 million views in only a few days, and generally, the internet seems to be taking his side in the debate, even if there are still some lingering questions about the findings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
