It is not often when the death of a technology executive leads to an outpouring of intense emotion around the industry, but the late Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo, has evoked just such a response. He was beloved for his enthusiasm, his love of games, and his focus on making games more accessible. The gaming industry is better off because of what he did and who he was. Other places in the tech world are not so better off. Windows is forcing updates. Google wants more of your money, and Reddit continues to complicate itself. Let's not forget, however, that just like Iwata, Pluto has a heart - even if its not a planet.
