Fez 2 cancelled, Phil Fish to quit Game Industry

[-HP-]

Sigh...

[DrywallDreams]

Everyone's focusing on Phil Fish here, but what about arguably the most important part:  Gametrailers actually has what sounds like an Angry Video Game Nerd ripoff as an opinionist.

Speechless dude. People who say such things should be hugged, around the neck, with a rope, seriously.

One simple things to do would be to let admin servers set their own parameters, or allow it in some case. I know balancing is a thing, but why restrain that much gameplay and players for some ridiculous stats ? I didnt played COD game (unless in beer & Lan) so i may be wrong about what you can do when you rent a server...

 

ps : i'll read deeply this tmblr, i may learn A LOT about arguing with people

Everyone just needs to calm the fuck down.

 

I quite liked Fez, but Fish seems pretty emotionally unstable, I actually think taking a proper break is a good move for him, try and get back revitalised. And I've heard Marcus Beer make some actual intelligent comments once in a while, but for most of the time he's just an ass in an entirely unfunny way. Haven't followed the story in great detail, but him calling them out on that GT thing for not wanting to comment on the story about Xbox self publishing might seem a bit snobbish, but why the hell should they if they don't want to. Beer sounds like he feels the gaming press/he's somehow entitled to their time and attention, which is a pretty odd thing IMO.

Let's get back to making games and let the drama live its own life!

Whoop whoop!!

Another prima donna dev getting mad at people on twitter. It would almost be funny if it wasnt so common. When will prominent people learn not to throw tantrums on publicly visible pages?

Why give up? Just fuck it but the line between developers and gamers never been so thin, it's a bit scary what gamers can do because of the frustration. It's gamers' problem but what will be next?

^ Do agree a lot with both of these.

Good you brought that up, as I wrote previously, it's the subject of (to which I couldn't reply properly).

I do agree, let's be clear on that; but just because Internet is full of people out to trash your stuff, and gamers are whiny twelve-sters (or behave like so), I think this should be a starting point to start pondering on social behaviors. I mean, Internet will become more and more a serious communication platform; I don't think it's healthy to let kids talk/behave this way, like you wouldn't allow your son to insult someone you meet playing at the park. Because it doesn't stops there, lots of behaviors are then carried out in the real world. At least, this is the impression i'm having seeing these (fucking) kids around.

I'm more amazed by that link from Al Anselmo than the whole Phil thing. Seriously what's wrong with people, it's a fucking game.. I would just go to the police if this would happen to me, just to make a statement.

[Sentura]

I think if I ever got any such critique directed at me (the death threats etc.), I'd laugh it off. I was lolling pretty hard looking at that website, there's no way I could take it seriously. I could see myself taking it one step further and just riling up those people.

Him saying japanese games are shit, acting like he is the saint of indie games, and general negative attitude didn't exactly help his popularity, which is what probably made him quit.
