That dude took his own life. Such a sad end.

I wouldn't say this is necessarily disrespectful in regards to him, but at the same time I wouldn't buy a "limited edition" product if a company made of Robin Williams or Brittany Murphy. It just doesn't feel right.

Yay thank you Gbatemp this is the first time I win something I'm so happy... Wait that's not how u spell my name ...

Uhm...who cares?

Good thing you weren't picked as the winner then, since you posted in here.

I remember seeing videos about this guy; he killed himself because the world is evil and wants to cause your hopes and dreams to become nightmares. The demons in his life are what did him in, no doubt about that. He was young and weak-minded, thus the businesses who got him in their contracts were able to use him until he couldn't take the stress any longer.

My advice to any one who has ambitions? Never trust the first person who seems to want to make your dream come true. If you find that nobody is trustworthy, then go at it alone. Several indie musicians find success by word of mouth alone, and especially because of this digital age we live in, it's now much easier to spread the word to a lot of people. That won't eliminate problems, but at least you can have more control over what you do.

Now, that doesn't mean you'll become a global sensation overnight, unless you have a gift from God (which I believe in!). Then again, maybe you will. You might get your music noticed and used in stuff, then even if you never have any more hits, your passion keeps you going.

Ah, but I talk too much. Anyhow, is this a tribute ti Avicii, or is it just to capitalize on his death? Hard to tell, really.

This competition was obviously rigged, you can tell @Necron is an alternate account of a staff member!

Stupid @shaunj66 not accepting my bribes!

 

[Rail Fighter]

This console looks really nice.

Good to see it was a fellow 2008 member. We don't get enough recognition for being awesome and making gbatempt cool.

Brittany Murphy didn't commit suicide, though. She just had a fatal health problem. I still miss her. She was great!

Anyhow, is this a tribute ti Avicii, or is it just to capitalize on his death? Hard to tell, really.

Most likely the latter. Continuing to release new things with his name branded on them after his death that he likely had nothing to do with, and using an out of context quote to make it seem like it was his idea rubs me the wrong way, and I can't imagine it's anything other than a cash grab.
To me it's kind of like if an author died and someone from his publisher continued to write more books and releasing them under his name...
Game is decent enough though. And I can't complain about free custom Switches. The game just seems in a bit bad taste especially so soon after his death. It would be different if it was like the last project he was part of before his death and they finished it up after the fact but that doesn't seem to be the case.
