Actually yeah, and aside from being co-founder of Ubisoft with his brothers I couldn’t find much. He ran some other audio company. Literally nothing that justifies people talking about shitting on his grave.

And where were you to punch up when he was alive? Ah right, on the internet being a keyboard warrior.

You’re making an awful lot of claims about somebody you don’t have any actual information on or had even heard of before they died based on what, perceived net worth? General dislike of large companies? Or maybe you’re projecting.

I’m not here to mourn this guy or defend him, if you remember how this conversation started I was looking for a reason to piss on his grave right beside you, but I can’t find one. Dude was nearly 70, had nothing to do with the day-to-day at Ubi for who knows how long, living his life until he wasn’t. No scandal, no donating to MAGA, no Epstein association, no union-busting. Just a higher than average net worth though I don’t think he was in the 1%.

So what’s the cutoff for you then? If a person has more than $10 million does their life no longer matter? $5 million? What exact net-worth cutoff indicates they’re a cretin who is hellbent on enslaving the working class?

We live in a capitalist society. Even here in Canada where I have access to more socialized services, it’s still a capitalist society. People are going to make money - sometimes it’s borne of privilege, other times hard work, and sometimes the amount is egregious, but in my eyes the hard cutoff is whether or not they are a billionaire and/or use that money to influence policy.

Being wealthy at the age of 70 after spending literal decades growing one of the largest video game companies is not a crime and does not by default make this guy an awful person - AND - the amount paid to execs in many cases is disproportionate and would be better spent uplifting those who do the actual work.

I can believe both of those things simultaneously while not punching down at a dead guy who was not a billionaire. Why can’t you?

We’re talking about a fucking video game company.

Touch grass.

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.

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.

Political violence is acceptable.

When the actions of a dictator or party directly worsen the lives of citizens, I believe it should be a legal right for the citizenry to execute those in power.
