[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

FORCE: Degen EconomyUNIVERSE: Brazilian Gaming SlangCLUSTER: brazilian_game_economy_slang

Brazilian Portuguese gaming slang for a player who uses a bug or exploit to duplicate items or in-game currency, from "dupe" plus the agent suffix -eiro. In online games it is usually a negative label, since duplication is treated as cheating.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""Baniram o dupeiro que inflacionou o leilão", the player commented on the news."

LORE & ORIGIN

Built from "dupe", the English gaming shortening of "duplicate", with the Portuguese suffix -eiro for a person who does something. Wikipedia describes duping as using a bug to create illegitimate copies of items or currency, usually in persistent online games, and notes that it can destabilise a virtual economy and is usually treated as a cheat. The Portuguese noun "dupeiro" itself is not defined in the pages opened for this entry, and no dated first use is documented.
