He OFFED HIMSELF!

Think about it, comitted the biggest warcrime in gaming, the "NMS was a mistake" tweet hack, and the office being abandonned. Hello Games serves now as Sean's grave. He remembered his days with Criterion, the days of Burnout Paradise, and could no longer bear the guilt.

Unlike Todd Coward, Sean was a good indie guy (as we all know, indie devs have good intentions) and was corrupted by ambition. Once the results were clear, the CRIPLLING DEPRESSION hit him. He was too ashamed of his own sins, for he felt them crawling on his back. And he found no choice, other than literally dissapearing by suicide.

May his soul find salvation Geraldo's redemption.
