When a developer puts his hard work into a game to only get negativity towards it in painfull forms, its a shame that people have to be this way, and those who reacted in "unneeded" harmfull ways should be ashamed of themselfs. (and no it's not normal criticism anymore)
Sadly this doesn't justify the reaction of the developer either.

Do you own this game?

Yes
No, i own only good games.

I would say don't make a shit game if you don't want to get it to get criticized then. If you are a developer/publisher it comes with the territory. Any creative work is open to judgment and critique. Some handle it better than others.

then you have a game that isn't truly shit like Fez that got shit on because it took too long to release (and of course the dev wasn't being reassuring to make it worse for him)

I feel like that had more to do with the way Phil Fish conducted himself than the actual game itself. Had he handled things differently I don't think it would have been anywhere near the controversial topic that it was.

He's probably crying and eating ice-cream right now and saying to himself. "d-d-drama free life... d-drama free life... in the corner, covered with a blanket.

He should have used a shit-pic for his game from the early beginning

I'm glad he's moving on to other things, as he's clearly not cut out for the gaming industry.

Also, "have no time for childish behaviour" - irony overload!

Another Phil Fish drama, great :D God, if people decide to make shitty games they need rhino skin and balls of steel. Well, this 40 yo dev got his balls taken so now he can be invited to Fish's slumber party.

You know what can be sad? He might be right.

Remember, he talks about Steam Community. Same community that sleeps with your mom every night. There's reason why people say you might get more help from Valve on some random reddit post than on Steam Forums...

Lol that is such childish behavior from someone in their 40's. It's also pretty obvious that he is the one who wants drama, because of this reaction. Also, the statement "my life does not revolve around mere videogames" tells me it was an important thing for him.

Yeah, I saw it before the store page got taken down. :D Just quite ironic that he wanted to avoid drama but instead he created more drama....

Oh hey another developer pointed out what everyone already knows.

I mean, there are a lot of idiot developers on Steam too. But let's not pretend that the Steam community isn't a giant turd. Come on.

Since games are "just for fun", I guess he gave away his games for free, right?

Well, it's not like the Steam community is good or anything, so I can understand leaving if you're a sensitive person and you realise it's better for you. It's still a personal fault--if you make a game (or anything creative), you need to be able to accept criticism, and what's more, if you charge for it, people are entitled to be quite vitriolic if the game is shit, as it appears to be (obviously this excludes anything threatening).

The childish part is the manner of his leaving. He should have posted something mature that explained his decision, not the equivalent of "gamers are shit and you're all losers". That is simply immature and unprofessional in any industry. This type of behaviour is a black mark on someone's reputation and I assume he removed the announcement because an actual adult pointed that out to him.

This is not even touching on the truly wrong part, which is that everyone who bought this apparently broken game will no longer get support for it and has no hope of any update that will fix it. Again, mature adults don't rage-quit on their responsibilities.

I played the game for a few levels and I don't think it was horrible. It's like Zombie Shooter but worse.
-too simple
-has only 1 weapon
-repetitive
-has only one enemy with different colors
-character walks too slow
+fine music
+atmosphere is okay (mostly because of the music)

So it could have been better if the dev had paid attention to criticism, I guess (Haven't played the game, so I wouldn't know).

On the one hand, game dev throwing a tantrum over making a bad game and getting called on it is always hilarious. I mean, I know the stress of being a dev and catching shit online is real, but this? This was low-effort garbage.

On the other hand, describing the dev as "butthurt?" Kinda giving credence to the dev's statement, OP.
