But as with any situation when a loved one dies, you always think about who or what they leave behind. What will happen, what next? To ignore it till tomorro w is to not respect his life, what he has done. We honor it by already getting to work on his legacy, making it better, improving upon it, showing the world that Nintendo is the same as it ihas always been.

 

This is not lack of respect. When is the cutoff for respect? I respet him by talking about him. Keeping his memory alive.

Spurge, it's all about timing. I know you have great respect for the man, I'm sure you do. It's just about giving respect to its grieving family and close relatives too. Did you know that Nintendo stockholding went up 4% the moment his death was announced? Investors feel confident about the future and forecast bolder and larger investments as the company's direction switch hands. I personally can't help but feel disgusted even if they are probably right.

It's just a matter of letting it settle down. VGChartz isn't going anywhere, we'll have plenty of time talking about Nintendo's whereabouts in a foreseeable future.

I'm sure right now his family is living the hell that is the legal procedures of inheritance and sucessory law. Death is an ugly deal for the beneficiaries and their legal representatives... grieving is for the younger relatives and close friends.

Not to mention most of the world isn't like in NA where people follow the tacky practice of taking ages to bury someone after they die. In Japan people are buried the day after the wake.
