7 years of EVE has taught me otherwise.
It's taught me the opposite - the way people are in EVE has zero bearing on who they are in real life. If it did, no one would play the game to be someone they already are...would they?
You don't play a sports game because you are already a professional athlete who is in the peak of physical condition and can run the 100m sprint in under ten seconds getting ready for the Olympics, do you?
No one in the game of EVE is anything more than the alter ego of themselves; allowing them to be a thief, mercenary, pirate, industrialist. This does not mean that anyone in EVE is any of these things in real life, skilled or not. That's why they are playing EVE - to be something either more than they are or can be in real life. It's called a fantasy. How many people do you know that play EVE and have a 'mission runner account'; whilst their 'main' is an ebil pirate?
If a story is to be believable, then the people in it must be believable - and the biggest way to gauge someone is in what they do when faced with a decision. And this is my whole problem, the decision this guy makes is not convincing and goes against everything that would make sense when anyone in the same position is faced with the same question [its not even a dilemma] 'How do I eliminate this threat to my business, with the least amount of effort or risk, but with the highest gain?'
My answer [based on the actions of the character up to this point in time whilst this story design is in its infancy] would be to have someone just kill him off with the least amount of loose ends as possible.
It just makes more sense. But don't blame me; I didn't write the character being being a ruthless businessman who [apparently] doesn't give a hoot about anyone else and is seen ordering his goons to murder the original architect [or so we are led to believe].
Look, I'm happy to debate this, but my impression of the story is that it's flawed - but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy watching it, as I'm sure anyone who watches this will feel they got their money's worth.

I'm just going to throw this out here to **** your entire argument(Add: In regards to this movie).
If he would have had the son killed, then in all likelihood, Robert Browning would have inherited the estate...the entire Empire. Now, this is the guy who has spent his entire career with the Dad building it up. Why would HE ever want to split it up? Wouldn't he just, you know, prefer to keep it has one giant monopolistic block and completely smother Saito's business?
