Full disclosure, I haven't actually read the article but is it really a scandal? Just create a new speedrun category for preset seeded runs. The old record stays and people can now try to hunt for the most efficient seeds.
It wasn't a scandal per se, but that in attempting to replicate Groobo's runs, they found too many impossible situations to be plausible.
Groobo's “runs” can now be considered entertainment, no legitimacy to be found.
Wait, i thought all of it was entertainment :O
Only in the same way that (e-)sports are entertainment. They are entertainment mixed with competition, cheating in any form of sport is a massive no no.
