It is sad to me, because a different path would possibly have been better for everyone. When you see a young person die from an overdose of drugs, it is sad because they chose a path which lead them to an early death, and everything they could have contributed to the world is lost. Companies are like that too, although it's easy to feel like they "got what they deserved" I tend to grieve more for what they weren't able to achieve.

It is only made more frustrating to people who advised them that this was the outcome at the end of their path if they chose to go this way, and they could not listen.

I find that sad.
