Mark Zuckerberg thinks he is a Civilization "grandmaster" who can beat "anyone in the World," and we should prepare ourselves for his Twitch Career

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta and Facebook founder, says he'll annihilate anyone at Civilization. He says he will annihilate anyone in Civilization. This is an act of hubris that rivals the heroes of Greek myth.

"I would be surprised if anyone could beat me in that," Zuck said to Pubity (via Dexerto), while wearing his "Aut Zuck Aut Nihil" T-shirt (All Zuck, or all nothing), which seems to be the one thing he is allowed to wear in the year 2024.

But which Civ is it? Zuck hasn't revealed which iteration of Sid Meier’s opus he prefers, but a clever detective like myself could piece together the answer. By "evidence," i mean a photo of Zuckerberg on a laptop playing a game that is clearly Civ 5.

He could have moved on to 6 since that was already taken, but I'm fairly certain it's an experience shared by all humans, to choose one entry (mine is 4) in a series and stick with it for eternity.

Prepare yourself for the billionaire to start contacting Twitch subscribers. "I think I should at some point do a Twitch streaming of me playing with somebody," he says. If anyone dares to face him. Zuckerberg brags a bit about his wife, Priscilla, who once looked at his Steam account. She was shocked to see that he'd spent over a 1,000 hours playing a game.

Which... we're friends here, right? This is a space where there are no judgements? These are pretty rookie numbers, aren’t they? PCG staffers have played more than 1,000 hours. I think if Zuckerberg were to throw down the gauntlet and challenge a real Civ sicko he would learn that he is a long way from being a grandmaster.
