Profitteering from death.....
I remember back in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died on the track. Rough day for race fans.
A friend of mine owned a model shop, and die cast collectable shop. Tons of Earnhardt pieces, some very rare, and autographed.
He didn't jack up his prices when he opened his shop on Tuesday, after Dale died, and he turned one guy away after buying a bunch of stuff that OBVIOUSLY wasn't going into his personal collection. Dude was even bragging about the massive profit he was going to get from what he bought. Thats why he stopped him from buying more. Turning away customers because of a princple.
I learned a lot about respect that day...more that I thought I knew.
Like this guy or not, Jackson will still be remembered for his music, and his moves, plus some very strange behavior over the years, some very questionable at that. But still, the music and moves is what peolpe will remember the most in my opinion. He won't be remembered because there was a game named for him, nor for some of his other oddball behavior.
Just like Earnhardt, Lennon, Princess Di, Tim Richmond, and the legendary Elvis, there will be a legacy that will last long after the profits shrink, and the trash talking is done.
I still wouldn't pay big bucks for a Moonwalker game, or buy a Daytona USA game because Dale Earnhardt drove in NASCAR, and I sure wouldn't buy a sequined jumpsuit because I like Elvis.
Moonwalker is just a game, and not one of the best ones out there.
Moral of the story...Can't say anything nice about someone, might as well just not say anything. And making a profit from some who has just passed on....sick.
