  Dude was a piece of shit. Why are you so eager to defend him?

  It’s okay to be happy awful people are dead.

    Awful as in he was responsible for day one DLC and microtransactions or awful as in he raped and murdered children?

    There’s a spectrum and I’m not sure which end of it he’s on based on your comments.

      I don’t play Ubisoft games. I don’t have a horse in that race.

      He’s awful because he was one of the money-addicted ownership class that collectively are ruining our world to fuel their addictions. Everyone in that class is a piece of shit and I don’t find much value in trying to determine the particular vintage of shit we’re dealing with. There are no “good guys” here.

      I won’t wish death or harm on any of them, but I’ll certainly not shed a tear if karma gets them.

        You need therapy.

        I think you and I would agree that billionaires aren’t people, and I long for the day in which we dismember them and feed them to the pigs, but this guy wasn’t a billionaire. He was a successful video game developer who co-founded an awful company.

        I’m not saying he was a saint, I don’t mourn his passing, but I’m also not celebrating his death as his crimes pale in comparison to the ruling class.

        What’s wrong with people making money because other people buy their video games? Are they hurting someone?

    Or you can just accept it as a net gain for humanity and move on.

    No need to be either happy or sad.

    Let’s keep our dignity and behave nice, but also let’s not pretend this is a tragedy, because it isn’t.

      Taking a steaming dump on their graves is keeping our dignity.

      This man didn’t give a tin shit about me, you, or anyone else while he lived. Why do we owe him decorum and consideration just because he got himself killed?

        Because we are better then him, thats why!

        because our behavior does not reflect him, it reflects us.

        That just Sounds so bitter. Reread your comments later when you’re in a Calmer State of mind

    I never defended him. Just because I am sending his family my condolences doesn’t mean I agree with what he did or believed, it only means that I am trying to be a good human.

      I’m sure his family is just fine crying into their piles of money. They don’t need my sympathy or yours.

  Would you say the same for Hitler? There is a line for everyone

• GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  you’re right.

  look at all the good stuff Adolph Hitler gave the world!

    Casually comparing a game company founder to a brutal dictator who started a devestating war and an industrialized genocide is as strech to say the least.

      This is the kind of disgusting behavior that perpetuates people treating each other so horribly.

      it’s an obtuse example but clearly demonstrates the absurdity of the original comment

  It’s terrible for the health of the Fediverse, too. And probably a legal liability.

    And probably a legal liability.

    And that’s a giant steaming lie.

    There is no legal liability to say “good riddance” to a billionaire’s death
