Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Meta and the co-founder of Facebook, spends a lot of time playing a well-known video game. He would even consider getting started on Twitch!
You can be one of the busiest tech bosses of this generation, but still be addicted to video games. Bill Gates was totally addicted to Windows Minesweeper in the early 1990s, and Elon Musk notably plays Diablo IV. But what about Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Meta? It turns out he has his addiction tooand when you know the franchise concerned, you understand why.
“I would be surprised if anyone could beat me”
For Zuck, the best game franchise in the world is Civilizationhe explained in an interview given last September to the media Pubity. He started playing the strategy games of this saga when he was in middle schooland according to him, this pushed him towards a career in engineering.
And this passion never left her, sincehe has more than 1000 hours of play on Civilization VIthe latest installment. He says his wife couldn’t believe it when she found out: “Priscilla looked at my Steam account the other day and she was like, ‘What? Have you played this for over a thousand hours? ” »he laughs. In reality, For many Civilization VI players, 1000 hours may not be a huge amount of time considering the game was released in 2016. But when you’re as busy as Mark Zuckerberg, it can actually go a long way.
The boss of Meta even considers himself an excellent player : “I would be surprised if anyone in the world could beat me at that level. »
Mark Zuckerberg, soon on Twitch?
Obviously very proud of his in-game performances, Mark Zuckerberg adds: “I think at some point I should do a stream on Twitch of me playing with someone because I’m pretty confident I’m close to grandmaster status”.
Besides the fact that he’s talking about streaming on Twitch (which is owned by Amazon) rather than Facebook, Zuck may surprise you with the passion that drives him around this strategy game franchise. We already knew that he was sporty, but gaming is therefore another facet of the life of this decidedly busy father.
In any case, his statement did not fail to make other Civilization VI fans reactwho claim to have many more hours of play under their belt and who consider themselves fully capable of beating the creator of Facebook in an online game. Failing to have been able to face Elon Musk in the octagon, Mark Zuckerberg will perhaps be able to face fans of Civ VI on Steam in the future.
