Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, the founder of the now dying Something Awful has reportedly died at age 45.
Details about his sudden death are unknown, though an article I read claimed an account allegedly owned by his ex said he shot himself because he would not be able to afford debt payments.
It should be noted he backstabbed everyone who called out the regressive left in defense of those freaks, and it should also be noted he is a domestic abuser and got canibalised by the same subhuman animals he defended at the cost of his site's reputation.
Let's hope the now ruined Something Awful transitions into an archive.
Somehow I missed it. I've certainly heard the name but never went to the website. I probably saw their work second or third hand, kind of like how people know about stuff coming from 4chan but don't actually go there.
If you ever played any big MMOs chances are you ran into them as “Goon Squad” or their crème de la crème “Elitist Jerks”
