Side note, you shouldn't be inheriting your family member's debts unless it's a spouse. Whatever they owe would be paid for from their estate and the rest should just get eating by the debtor's.

We did too, of course they were in a plastic bag inside a small cardboard box. The ashes went into the sea also. I just looked up some local advertising and I see some cheaper than 750. Think you got ripped off!

I never really understood people wanting mahogany triple layered caskets and ashes in gold plated vases and all that. The person is gone, none of that funeral stuff so many buy matter.

I will say gifts of flowers to the survivors are nice. Flowers look pretty , smell pretty and make people happy. Nothing wrong with a small gesture of flowers. Bringing over good food dishes for the family is good too. Anything that makes things a little easier for them while they go through the grief.

As far as the topic at hand: I really think a flower arrangement with a card that lets the family know our community of Everquest fans deeply appreciated his work would be good and make them smile.

If you want to thank Brad for the thousands of hours of entertainment he gave you by helping pioneer the MMO genre, I would think helping his family would be a more meaningful gesture than flushing more money down the hole of the drug-addled pipe dream known as Pantheon.

I think it would be more appropriate to donate to his family as well. If they want to make a contribution to further Brad's dream/passion then they can do so but ultimately, they have to live beyond video games and his unfortunate passing alone will cost them money. I say we make a donation on behalf of our community (or individually if you prefer) to the family and they can use it based on their need, Brad's wishes, or they see fit.

This is not how companies work after someone dies/quits/whatever. No one gave him 50 million to make the game when he was alive. Being dead means the game is just as dead.

This really isnt towards you, you know this. Its the other retards.

Who is shitting on him?

I don't know if I've seen this community be this respectful...like...ever. Especially to someone w/o tits.

This is the type of post someone who doesn't know this community makes.
