Yeah, what to say....
Putting endless of hours into something, and getting some reward for it is not so bad. Guess Steve and Bill outsmarted Tim Sczerby in making a penny of their skills.
It IS A FUN MOVIE after all.
But hey, it is the USA, so go sue the BASTARDS, but please stop whining.  ;D
I never had the idea I was watching a documentary from the first minute I saw the movie. And the highscores are made by the guys.

Here's the deal: the people in the movie are armatures. These aren't Oscar award winning actors we're talking about. So, planned or not, that Billy is able to come off as a evil villain of video games indicates that that's at least in part who he is. Same for Steve.

Anybody who's ever been in the entertainment industry knows that, to a degree, everything is scripted and everybody is playing a role. That doesn't make it any less real or true.

I've seen the complainers, the don't want the "truth" to get out, the are just sad that they aren't as awesome as Billy and Steve.

Of course it's fake, every movie/doku needs a villain so it would be more interesting..
Though, after i saw the doku i found a forum where Walter "answeres/explais" some of the strange things in the doku...

Gee, am I glad they never earned a penny from me.  ;D

Luckily Dutch world record holders are normal and nice people ;);)
