"PCs are for spreadsheets"

that whole racist thing got blown way out of proportion by the internet anyway. didn't say he hated "the yellow devils" he said he didn't enjoy modern Japanese games. its more like me saying "fighting games suck" I dont literally mean they are all universally terrible as fact but more that I don't personally enjoy them overall as opinion and I certainly don't somehow hate whatever ethnic group mainly produces them. he dismissed a genre(and i guess other games produced recently in the region) not a race

Japanese games tend to have a distinctive style and its a style fish hates. he doesn't hate japan the country or japan the race.

agree on how he seemed in the movie though(although that was in the middle of development or something I think i read he hadn't been sleeping or something), but they're all dicks like that. I kinda also hate blow too from that movie and reading him talk lol :) its just how these people are.

still better than when they get big and turn into ea(or sell to ea like maxis).

Great XBox game that I'll definitely be getting for Steam. MAYBE even at full price! gasp I never do that (it's that good)!

Seriously though, hate the man (Phil Fish), but not the game.

+1 to the idea of giving nothing to this developer on an Indie Bundle.

I think Fish did and said several idiotic things, but I like both the concept and look of Fez. I'll get it as soon as it's discounted.

He's an asshole, but he's not afraid to admit it. Coming right out and saying he's porting to PC for profit is a lot better than some bullshit PR excuse. Just because the guy can be an asshole doesn't make the game any less amazing (played it on console, will be recommending it to every one of my Steam friends).

While I agree with the "Don't judge a book by it's author" idea and I wanted to play this game very much, I can't get past the fact that his attitude is deplorable. The game is without a doubt great, but I won't play it due to his attitude. I don't want to give him neither my money nor my time. Maybe if I forget about this or his attitude changes in a more positive way.

I like his comment about being an elitist and only hanging out with people who worked on "BIG games". not sure if it's a joke or not, but it comes across as asshole behaviour

Apparently you can't plug an HDMI cord into a TV and use a 360 controller while on a sofa, guess I am a wizard since I do that daily.

We've known this since forever that he'll release it. He stated it himself.

It was a timed exclusivity, nothing more.
