I’m not saying he was a good guy, but he ain’t a war criminal and was maybe really nice for all we know so I don’t really understand how you can be happy about such news.
He and his brothers still maintain control of Ubisoft (even through an attempted hostile takeover). It’s been shown in documents that management have known about but ignored the pervasive sexual misconduct there (in fact promoting the abusers) as well as extensive union busting, employee abuse, on top of the numerous lawsuits for selling/mismanaging customer data, rug pulls with games, and more. Claude Guillemot was an active founding member of the company and maintained his involvement throughout.
Those alone I believe earn the ire thrown at them. I personally add the moral failings of their early overenthusiastic adoption of NFTs and AI.
They very much are a part of the abusive wealthy class treating the world as their personal misogynistic playground.
To argue he was “maybe really nice” is to straight up ignore his hand in all of that. Try again.
I don’t know enough about this guy, specifically, to say he directly deserved it. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to feel sad about it, because I know enough to know that he chose to be a part of the systematic dismantling of workers rights within capitalism (among lots of other bad shit that he had voluntarily made himself a part of).
I did a search for his name alongside the sexual harassment accusations, and I don’t see his name listed anywhere. It’s suspicious that so many around him are accused, but I don’t see Claude named anywhere.
Karma.

That warrants the dead penalty then. Justice is served!
seems like his rich excess killed himself, i don’t see some activist attacking him
rich people dying from flying most of us can’t afford to do seems like a personal problem
What you’re saying is probably true, but I don’t think he deserved to die burned in a crash for such things.
You said you don’t know how people can be happy about the news. That’s mostly what I was addressing.
Ultimately I agree, he should have been tried for his crimes against society and guillotined along with the rest of aristocracy ages ago.
Does anyone deserve to die, for any reason or by any method?
Yes, absolutely.

Fuck anyone who behaves that way.
we know he stole the value of people’s labor.
Clearly not a monster, but he does not sound that nice to me in this whole thing. I guess we’ll never know for sure.

Why try to qualify this? Your moral compass is calibrated to “not a war criminal”? Is that your line where “evil” and “they’re ok I guess” is?
And Hitler loved dogs
(Yes I know this guy isn’t Hitler, calm down)
