Comment on Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes

So now you are saying that threatening to kill people because their executives made a decision you don’t like (many Unity developers are coming out and speaking out against this) is “just”?

And… that people who have a problem with death threats being thrown at people for changing a product are equal to the Nazis?

I’m not saying I would be justified yo make death threats about this, since as you say this doesn’t really concern me personally and I have not made any. I’m just saying that people who get hurt by this have the full moral right to do this if they go down that path.

Also I’m really not buying this “Even greedy leechlike corporate suits still have the right to feel safe when doing decisions that will fuck over countless of of live and make society all the worse for it” line of argument that you are pushing between the lines. Violence is not just when somebody bleeds, you know and this is just response one one kind of violence with other type of violence. And this is not just a provider charging for a product. Many people get hurt by this and years of their lives might go to waste. And for what? Corporate greed, it’s not like unity is fucking struggling themselves and they need the cashflow. What they needed was bigger margins.

  No. I am sorry but no
  
  You do not have the “moral right” to threaten to murder (or worse) people because they did something you don’t like.
  
  And no, somebody raising prices is not the same as threatening to murder or rape you.
  
  Grow the fuck up.

    Ooh, think of the Unity’s corporate suits. You monster. they are people too. Think of their sleepless nights over this. They might have to go to therapy…
    
    You really just base you sense of justice on legality. You really would just watch as landlords increase rents for 200% just for greed and watch people go homeless and then feel smugly superior when you condemn and report said homeless for throwing shit in the windows of the landlords. A Tennant might even have the chance to move elsewhere. Unity devs might not have such a easy path out.
    
    You really are a awful person without a heart. Call me a psycopath all you like.

    If the law is the only reason you can think of to not threaten to murder someone…
    
    Do we have a “report to the authorities” button on Lemmy? No reason
