Unlikely to be cancelled, just a normal day at drama class for Phil.

Either way, kinda surprised it hasn't been posted here yet.

Was anyone following him on Twitter before he locked his account? Has he said anything since the whole drama started?

Edit: He's unlocked his Twitter account.

I'm disappointed. Fish's actions are very immature and I mistakenly expected better of him. I don't see Daisuke Amaya or Nicklas Nygren acting this way.

He should take a vacation. Gamers can be a nasty bunch. I don't blame him for quitting.

Here are the comments from the "AngryGamer" that started this controversy in the first place.

And he is. And he admites it. The problem here is like he said. When they need the press they go everywhere and do everything to promote their games when they don't need they become assholes.

That guy completely sucks. He made a good game (x years on the making and lot of problems with partners and stuff) but he's a complete douche,racist and spoiled brat.

To indie he is the personification of E.A.

Unless there's a quote I'm not aware of (which is quite possible) saying "Japanese games suck" equates to racism now? Nah. Most of the soundbites people use for hating Phil Fish are either taken completely out of context or misconstrued.

And on that note, PCs are for spreadsheets. That's why we have Excel and Football Manager.

Pretty much everything he says is hyperbole. He shouldn't be getting this much hate lmfao.

Although I agree that calling him a racist is totally inaccurate, and that in some cases he is taken out of context, there is more than enough material out there for me to have legitimate disgust for the guy.

I'd call him an egotist. He is self-centric to a very visible fault.

He greatly overextended himself with Fez. It was the Duke Nukem Forever of indie titles. He should have pared back the ideas, maybe launched with a smaller amount of content for a smaller price. Raise the price slowly as more content is added, giving previous buyers that content for free. This would have drowned out much of the criticism he earned by bashing so many other games.

For the record, I also believe that Japanese games suck. But just as Phil likely meant, I mean today's Japanese games. I haven't seen a large amount that I've liked since the late 90s. JAPAN, Y U NO MAKE GOOD GAMES ANYMORE?

Well, thanks for all the fish I guess (yeah, I suck and I made a whole other topic on this, so I'll just copypaste it here).

Now, I never really commented on this guy too much before because I didn't see him much different from anyone. He talks shit back to people who provoke him for no good reason? Yeah, might as well, I'd do the same. However, I do agree that he was unnecessary harsh at some points which has made the majority of people hate him.

This, on the other hand, is just infantile. Leaving the industry behind because he can't handle shitposting, let alone criticism, is not something that I could justify. How the hell are the other devs dealing with this kind of stuff?

Any developers lurking on these forum that has to deal with similar stuff? How do you handle it if I may ask?

Not only to people who provoke him. He also replied like a dick and very hostile to fans of Fez on his twitter without a reason.

I'm aware of that, that's what I referred to with the second sentence that followed that quote. It's just that people who provoke him because it's hip to do so, well they kind of feel it's justified while it's not. It's like watching a bunch of pre-schoolers fighting, really.

Phil can be a drama queen but he did a good game and also complain about developers paying money for update their games on xbox which is a good thing, even if he hates japonese game or something isnt reason to hate him or want to him commit suicide, whats wrong with you guys?

I haven't bought or even played Fez so I could care less for a Fez 2. Seriously unless it is in one of those lovely indie bundles I love so much I will probably never own it.

Fez had a record sale in steam summer sale much more than initial steam release these guys are loaded also creators from Super Meat Boy are letting it slide. The same with Minecraft Notch doesn't care anymore he is married and wealthy.

This is in my opinion a case that shows what's wrong with the gaming community, where both sides are crazy. He was a douche and I guess he should have seen it coming when he keeps talking shit like that, but there were many people who seemed that their sole purpose in life was to insult and abuse him.

Also, calling him pretentious is dumb. People that misuse the word pretentious all the time are actually the pretentious people.

You speak and argue like a 5 years old : "You called me names so you're names yourself!". Phil'o'Fish is the very definition of "pretentious", simply for considering his game to be the best ever, insulting japanese devs, asking people to suck on his dick because he had won some crap contest, or saying out loud that he was going to be the new face of video gaming.

He's not only pretentious, he's a huge god damn jerk.

The dude is a jerk and loves starting drama, but Fez is a good game. Maybe he's saying it's cancelled so he can work on Fez 2 in peace. Who cares if you didn't like the guy, I don't even like the guy, but I'm not going to let some outside thing ruin my experience with a good game.

He has problems for sure.

But every single one of you basher idiots have contributed to it. You guys calling him names really consider yourself any more valuable? Get off your fucking high horse please.

If FEZ 2 really is canceled, then that's an actual loss over Call of Doody/Battlefeces/Pubic Hair Manager 4235.
