Just wanted to make everyone aware that one of the founding fathers of our hobby, Ralph Baer, passed away today at the age of 92.
We owe a lot to the people who gave us the technology we so often take for granted and video games are no exception. We wouldn't be able to have the incredible fun we do on Destiny and other games if no one took the time to create such amazing pieces of machinery.
RIP Ralph Baer.

I agree Ralph Baer's death is sad. You can't blame him for Destiny. Remember pong. It's also got a better story. But in all seriousness, R.I.P Ralph.
