some people just have no conscience. it's a hard fact to swallow..
if you can burn your child alive, you're not really human, more like some sort of automaton. a mindless monster.

Sorry for being an ass, but what are we supposed to talk about here? I think we all agree that this crime that happened in 1995 was horrible.
I agree. just because he was a game developer does not mean it is gaming news worth it.
not thread whining or anything, but I think we should move on and not talk about this POS
Several years ago I made a thread on NeoGAF about how my condo burned down, and how lucky I was that I got out without losing anything. I never followed up on that topic, but found out about a week later what caused the fire. At the opposite end of my building was a couple - one woman had a child, while her girlfriend was childless. The woman's daughter lived with them both. Apparently, right after Christmas, they broke up, and the woman who didn't have the daughter couldn't take it, and went crazy. She locked the daughter in the bathroom, locked their dog in the bedroom, and set the building on fire, intending to kill both. Luckily firefighters (bless those incredibly brave me) managed to save the little girl (and my condo) but the dog was lost.
I don't understand how someone could be so cruel to a child. It's beyond me.

It might be helpful to regard the purpose of these threads as informational rather than intended to foster meaningful discussion. Many people may have no idea of the case and be interested in the article. That honestly seems to be the case with a lot of threads that get a "What are we supposed to talk about" response.
our point is that this is NOT gaming news. something personal happening to a person in the gaming industry is not news worthy in the "gaming section " of the forum, IMHO
Fair enough.
But then again, if it wasn't for "he developed games" this would hardly get attention, so I'm kinda "eh".
Nothing personal my dears, I'm just nagging about.
It doesn't seem that the fact that he was a developer is linked to his mental issues, so it doesn't seem gaming side worthy.
That is a bit disingenuous as it is dishonest to call him non-human.
The key takeaway is that humans do and can do these awful things.
Oh man...Killing his daughter with fire? Simply inhuman.
Drowning and being on fire are like the top worst way of dying.
It is so long and cruel while your brain is still ticking along until the final moment.

Did not know about this story, shocking to say the least. I still remember M.A.X. which makes this even more disturbing. Also how can only 3 out of 200 people on a mailing list report his confession to the police? Sure, some e-mail adresses were probably defunct, but still...only 3...
Not surprised. You never really know with the people that you don't live with, who they truly are, no matter what they achieve or what they seems to do.
What I can't fathom is how the mother gave her daughter up to him knowing the father had sexually abused her. So many people failed that poor child.
This is terrible. Seriously made my day worse.
I agree, calling him inhuman is just a simple defense mechanism built inside us, it's like we subconsciously want to distance ourselves. Too bad, that's sadly part of humanity.
Glad he's in jail. Glad he was stupid enough to confess to random strangers
Side note the gamer flourishes (for a lack of better phrase) make this article very annoying to read.

I feel like the old forum's rule of "don't post threads that have no point but to be depressing or disturbing" should apply here.
Please note that this heinous crime was committed over two decades ago, and he is currently rotting in jail for it.
There is honestly no need for this article and no need to profile him like that other than baiting clicks. He doesn't deserve any attention or any widespread report, and he should be forgotten like the way he "forgot" his daughter.

Why is this forum just overrun with the worst possible stories imaginable. Makes visiting this site a horrific experience sometimes.
If you read about this story and think of any joke to make, i don't know what to tell you.
