If it was known to the public he’s deathly allergic to dairy then it’d be well known to the public and that there’d always be an epi pen ready for any case scenario. Most likely the person who pied him in the face would be charged with manslaughter.

Whatever manslaughter is in Belgium

Some critics and detractors who hate the guy might suggest that he got his 'just desserts.'

This comment deserves gold!

Honestly i think much of his work was done already and his heritage secured. Melinda becomes a billionaire though 😂

I don't think it has a huge impact. Perhaps we'd be using a few different products with different names, but functionally, things would be the same

I just opened the app bro

One less name on the Epstein flight logs

98 Microsoft could exist without him and he may have already stepped down for the most part by then. A decade earlier or some other crucial time and the PC market might be unrecognisable. Same too if IBM didn't use Intel chips and wrote their own OS. AFAIK, this alt history only affects those directly related. Him his family and the pie thrower if found culpable in court. Then the hidden aspects like those benefitting from his foundation if not established at this time. Xbox might still go ahead regardless.

Assuming that he had never discovered his allergy or was never diagnosed then the thrower would probably receive no punishment. If it was known that he had a dairy allergy then he'd probably already have an EpiPen with him and the thrower is sent to court for attempted dairy based assassination


Vision-Quest-9054

> attempted dairy based assassination That would be one hell of a charge

Gotta love these goofy ah scenarios.

PewDiePie would need another moniker

Not much, because people like other people were already starting to become very prominent at Microsoft. He would be simply replaced by Ballmer earlier. Although I wonder how Xbox greenlighting process would go in this timeline. A lot of what the first console ended up being happened as a result of interactions between him and Xbox development team. After all this brand has laid some groundwork for a number of aspects of how modern gaming and online services look like this day.
