*** Like I said, Gene goaded Ralph into trying to win a medal, and is at fault for that. But ''he'' was blaming Ralph for abandoning their game and leaving it to be unplugged in order to get a medal. It's the "abandoning his game" part that Gene is upset over, and the part that isn't his fault. Ralph could've just gone into another game after hours to get a medal; instead he chose to do so when he was supposed to be on duty.

And if you want to argue that the Nicelanders simply got what was coming to them for mistreating Ralph, that's basically what Gene is saying anyway. "Congratulations, Ralph. You left us when we needed you and now we're about to become homeless, but you got the medal like you said, so the penthouse is yours. I hope it's worth it."

*** I'm not saying that Ralph isn't at fault, but how exactly is Gene not at fault? When Ralph claims that he could win a medal, Gene says, "Uh huh. And when you do, come and talk to us." And then, when Ralph asks, "And then would you finally let me be on the top of the cake with you guys?!", Gene snaps, "If you won a medal, we'd let you live up here in the penthouse! But it will never happen!" Gene was the idiot who planted the idea of winning a medal in Ralph's head, and Ralph was fed up with everyone in his game aside from Felix treating him like garbage. What he did was stupid and irresponsible, but Gene deserves a little blame here too.

*** Gene is not just as much at fault as Ralph is. If someone tries to goad you into doing something wrong (especially in the midst of a very heated situation) and you go along with it, you do not get to pin the blame on them. Plus, Gene didn't tell Ralph, "Go abandon your game and leave us all to be unplugged to try and get a medal." All he said was, "You'll never be able to get a medal, because you're just the bad guy who wrecks the building!"

There's definitely a small amount of accountability there, in that he could've reacted differently, but he didn't do anything that forced Ralph to go off and prove himself. (Especially not during in-game hours -- that part really was entirely Ralph's fault.)
