About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6801 DaysNEW YORK – We had been told to expect the deaths of the famous to come in threes, not in the dozens.
But all through the summer of 2009 came a ceaseless and somber drumbeat, as idols of all walks of life passed away. From Walter Cronkite to Sen. Ted Kennedy, the nonstop loss of luminaries continued almost as if a seasonal occurrence — as much a part of summer as hot dogs and humidity.
If a filmmaker were trying to capture the summer of 2009, Michael Jackson news would be playing in the background. Many thought coverage of Jackson's death was too much; a Pew Research Center poll released in July found that 64 percent of those surveyed thought the media blitz was overdone (though none could top MTV Japan, which designated an entire week of mourning for Jackson).
But news outlets went heavy on coverage for the many others who passed. Collectively, it made the constant commemorating hard to escape . . .

Since 6908 DaysNow you think it's not a tragedy - fair enough. But the fact is that you're always going to hear about it, while people that die every day from far worse causes don't get any coverage at all. I wouldn't expect them to. Whether it's a tragedy depends on how you feel about that celebrity. If he/she means nothing to you, you wouldn't expect to feel much sympathy other than the fact someone has died; but if he/she had some bearing on your life, like Michael Jackson did for me, then maybe it could be seen as a tragedy.
Celebrity deaths do get blown out of proportion, but that's the life of the celebrity. It's all about exaggeration.

Since 7469 DaysNo one person's life is any more or less important than another, unless of course we are dealing with or comparing to the lives of terrible human beings, but you pretty much get my point.

Since 7570 DaysIf we get rid of all the terrible people, then where do we draw the line?
Since 7469 DaysI'm not talking kiddy stuff here, I'm talking about truly terrible people.
I think you would agree that individuals who purposely seek to target and cause the deaths of innocents are people we could do without?
Someone being a totally inconsiderate jerk doesn't necessarily qualify them as terrible human beings, I'm talking about the truly lowest of the low here.
There are many examples that I could come up with, but I'm too lazy :P
