While looking forward to Silksong , Goldman learned that he had Ewing Sarcoma - an aggressive form of cancer that can metastasize from bone to lungs, spine, and other bones and soft tissues. Earlier this year Goldman’s caretakers informed him his case was terminal, with a prognosis of only a few more months to l

Goldman designed the boss’ look and named him after himself as a sort of memorial. Team Cherry was happy to work with Goldman, describing him as "a really cool young guy we were fortunate enough to meet and get to know." Team Cherry revealed Seth in a Reddit post teasing that he "guards a secret long forgotten and will attack any who stray too close", and "will fight until the very end, and beyond." Goldman got to see Seth in action before passing, "I saw some footage and he is amazing and fast." It was easy to read pride in another post where Goldman called Seth "a monst
