A dead person can't defend himself. I guess, yes. It's the best I could do.

Of course decent people are more careful when they criticize the dead, but the dead shouldn't be immune. And they aren't immune, at least not in our Western culture.

And speaking of being able to defend, it's impossible for Pachter to defend himself against all the hate he receives. Hate that he never would get face to face, but behind his back on internet forums.

Pachter talking negative about Iwata is not a problem. He didn't talk negative. In the video he was professional and refered to a business strategy that is still in action at Nintendo (Pachter believes so).

But gamers talking negative about Pachter is a big, constant problem. Not in this thread, but we all know how disrespectful people are about Pachter. He's an idiot, stupid, moron etc.

Personally I dislike Patcher threads, not because of Patcher, but because of all the immature and vile hate thrown towards him.

The hate doesn't come from nowhere. I've seen his videos since he was really active on gametrailers.com and the hate grew towards him with each episode being released. The majority of the community wanted him out and he left.

So what's the reason for all the hate? The reason could be, that he tries to be someone who knows gaming business. He does bold predictions like this:

And people remember him from doing such stuff. He admitted once that he has no clue what Nintendo is up to, yet, he still acts like he does.

Some of his reasoning is well received, but looking back, most of his is not.
