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

I agree.
Only 4 left to unlock a unique loot box.
Lol, damn. Going to hell for that.
What will you tell him when you meet him down there?
The Guillemonts are old money French aristocrats who escaped the Revolution by being out of the country. They are collectively terrible to others and are deliberately trying to tank Ubisoft so they can buy it back and take it private. All those anti consumer business moves Ubisoft males are their best ideas at making money. Hopefully the loss of the savvy one brings them back to reality but history and experience shows they won't.
source?
I'm seeing that they ran a small farming business in a small farming village: https://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/12/06/ubi-uncensored.aspx
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.
The hoops these folks jump through to justify cheering the death of someone is terrifying.
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.......
The Guillemont brothers were/are not nice people, maybe that's triggering those horrible comments like "Ah ok, anyways..."
This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. "It's wrong to wish people dead, except for 'them'. 'They' are fare game." It's the same BS we've been doing for the whole history of our miserable species.
Meh, I don't wish death on anyone, but that doesn't mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.
Nobody's criticizing people for not being sad. There's a word for this, "gloating".
I still think that's fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.
Like Hitler.

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
Wait, why do you hate lemmy for this? I think who you actually hate are humans. Reddit and all the other modern social media platforms have the same issues, because they too have humans.
I wouldn't be surprised if many of these people are, in fact, banned on reddit because of this behavior.
Yes, but this is just the cherry on top of a steaming turd sundae of other issues I have with Lemmy that I won't rehash again here. It's not like my complaining will change anything anyway.
Compare these reactions to the Ubisoft subreddit, which granted are going to skew fanward. On /r/games the conversation seems to be mixed, with a few dancing on his grave, most expressing dismay at his death while still acknowledging the harm he did to the company and industry as a whole. Plenty of people are simply discussing the dangers of small aircraft.
Why are you still posting?
Because I like the idea of Lemmy and the fediverse, so I hang on despite its issues.
if you can burry your head in the sand enough to be upset about people celebrating the death of rich fuck wads in 2026 just put said head back in the ground

How do those boots taste?
Fuck billionaires and fuck nobility. Trying to tone police everyone else doesn't hide the harm that they've done to society. Would you do the same if Putin was assassinated tomorrow and lead to the end of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
One is a military invasion of a sovereign nation and war crimes committed against civilians bordering on genocide.
The other is making games with bad monetization and bad business practices.
The fact that you would equate the two shows that you don't possess the moral integrity, rationality, or intelligence of a well-adjusted adult. Have a horrible day.
Please don't downplay the harmful pracrices those leaders/executives have on teens and children. They are actively exploting them for money. Just because the harm isn't immediately visible, doesn't mean it won't have lasting effects.
The other is making games with bad monetization and bad business practices.
You're horribly underplaying what the Guillermot family has done as the heads of Ubisoft. There's plenty of articles that have come out about how they're actively (and illegally) suppressing unionization in Ubisoft. They're also actively lobbying to prevent regulation in the US and Europe.
But of course you didn't include that because it doesn't support your argument. Just shut up you intellectually and morally bankrupt bootlicker

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