If i remember correctly he stated: "If you really want this guy to kill himself, go send him a mail...his name is "insert name". ".
I didn-Št have much respect for the man before that point...but a character that finds this acceptable and funny is irredeemable.
If this is true this is very disheartening. And it's even a greater shame that CCP allows thid kind of behavior on its premises, nevermind the fact that this individual is a liason representative between the community and the company.
I don't expect individuals like the mittani to understand or care about crossing the line between game and real life, but CCP should know better.
There was a time I actually considered going to one of these events. I'm glad I haven't and won't. |

And that makes it OK to purposely try and drive someone to suicide for your amusement?
Like I said before, I don't expect the owner of the mittani to understand or even care why his actions are deplorable. I don't expect the majority of the organization he leads in-game or his fanbase to care or understand either. It would be like trying to explain to a rock the difference between game and reality. I know it simply won't register with some of you. And as sad as it may be, I expect someone like him and his fans not just to wash their hands clean and claim absolutely no responsibility on the matter, but also to make fun and play the clowns over an unfortunate event like that.
But I do find it disheartening that an organization like CCP actually allows this **** to happen on a company environment. It's a total lack of responsibility from their part. |

I was watching this live on stream and thought it was disgraceful behavior. No matter what happened it's CCP's fault for allowing this kind of behavior to happen in the first place. Not really. While the CCP moderator present (I gather) definitely should have stopped this, and while I also feel CCP could use a little heavier hand in community policing in general, the only person to blame for what happened is The Mittani himself. CCP should be judged according to how they will react to what happened, not by it having happened.
I have to disagree to an extent. People like Mr. Gianturco are not interested in being held accountable for anything. His attitude proves this and there should be no doubt. They simply do not comprehend and are not interested in understanding where social and ettiquette boundaries are. You'd be better off talking to a chair or a rock. You have to expect that there will be a few human beings that are going to do whatever they have to for some attention and to prove they are the "baddest a-hole" in the world. And if the threat were realized it would be a joke to this clown and his followers.
CCP, on the other hand, NEEDS to expect and prepare for this. And they didn't. Not only that, but even after Mr. Gianturco's invitation to his audience to provoke his victim's suicide nothing was done to ammend the situation. I feel like it's been only after the reaction of its playerbase that some action has been taken. And even worse yet, he continues to be a CCP and community liason; a representative of this community. |
