Ok look, I hate Ubisoft, but this is sad. My condolences to his family. People being happy about this are disgusting.

    It's so easy to not be a parasite. And yet this person chose to do it anyway.

    Not gonna say I'm happy, but I will not shed a tear for the people who are actively making this planet literally unlivable.

    This thread, the comments, and the people who post them, would be fascinating subjects for a sociological-psychological study.

    Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood: I'm calling out the people who are proverbially dancing on the victims' graves (yes, there were two fatalities). Regardless of your feelings for one or the other, you are celebrating the loss and pain of their friends and families. Frankly it's disgusting behaviour.

    you don't get it mate I don't like the games ubisoft makes so making fun of someone who burned to death in a freak accident is totally justified

    also his ancestors ran from the french revolution over 200 years ago. this is relevant because... uh.......

    this isn't complicated

    the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you

    assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes

    when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong

    when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fucking with our lives it should obviously not be the same

    whether tanking a video game falls into that bucket is nuanced but people like the united health fuck are easily fair game

    It’s wrong to wish people dead

    I had this attitude 20 years ago. I no longer do. I've come to realize that there are certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars), and if they died and their death prevented more suffering, that's a good thing for humanity. Even the rich fucks that just hoard money are actively robbing from the poor to do so, and some of those people die as a result.

    How many people does a person have to kill before they are too far gone to save, and are just evil? How many levels of indirection does it take before they wouldn't be considered evil? What happens if a person indirectly kills millions of people? Is that still far enough to call them evil?

    These are the questions you should ask yourself when you try to plot out your own moral compass.

    As Richard Stallman once said: "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone".

    All I'm going to say is that I was a lead developer for Ubisoft at one point; You may imagine how I feel about this news.

    I feel bad for the tutor that was teaching him but you won't see me shedding a single tear that there's one less c-suite parasite on Earth.

    Good riddance.

    I'm sure it was because the windshield was littered with too much HUD.
