  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!

        Miss me with that idiotic “we go high” mentality. That nonsense is what lead us to here.

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

        I’m more bitter than a stout, to be sure. That doesn’t mean I’m not calm, though.

  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.

        He was a member of the ruling class. What the hell are you talking about? He was a board member and co-founder of a corporation with a valuation in the billions of dollars. Yeah, sure, he wasn’t a billionaire but they aren’t the only problem. He certainly had a lot less in common with poors like you and me, especially since the corporation he was part of wasn’t exactly championing labor rights.

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

        Let’s just ignore the recent and rampant suppression of unionization to avoid improving work conditions then

        It’s a matter of scale, and what they do with the money. Wealth hoarding has reached the point where it’s a cause of inflation. The top 1% (and even moreso, the 1% of that 1%) have hoarded ao much wealth, and do nothing but essentially sit on that wealth, that it makes life more expensive for all of us in the working class.

        Strictly speaking, yes they absolutely are hurting someone. Wage theft is a significant issue we face today.

  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.
