Souliarc Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 http://kotaku.com/5638353/an-open-letter-from-the-company-of-heroes-developers-widow Brian Wood, lead designer of Company of Heroes online, was killed on Sept. 3rd when a driver (supposedly under the influence of drugs) swerved into their lane. In a split second, Brian swerved the car to where his side took the full impact, and cost him his life. Two other rear seat passengers were killed, but the act spared his wife and unborn child. The gaming community has came together to show their support for the family. The wife, Erin, commented how Brian always thought the video game community to be a "tight-knit" one, and I couldn't agree more. I just thought that this man deserved recognition for his feat of heroism. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family. Quote
Bahamut Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I heard about this as I was starting to play Company of Heroes for the first time. This is the definition of selflessness on the highest order, and I have nothing but deep admiration for the man for doing so. I hope the family can come to terms with this terrible catastrophe and move on . Quote
Gario Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Wow. The irony in the title made me think it was going to be a silly thread, not one showing an actual heroic act. Well, my regards and prayers go out to his family. Quote
Halt Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 A true hero indeed. I do hope his family can move on. This is so sad. :[ Quote
