Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash

  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.
