And a great quote from the forums, that summarizes the situation pretty well:
>>Hey indies give us clickbait consolewar bullshit comments
on demand, or else we'll publicly insult you on video.
Meanwhile we'll throw softball questions at any developer
working at a major 3rd party because we can't lose access
to that previous ad revenue and review copies.
What a fucking joke.<<
- velodrome 13y agoI don't understand why he killed Fez 2. Channel that frustration towards making a good game.

- skore 13y agoI really don't care either way, but I had to stop that video after a minute into the "rant". What a complete and utter waste of air. I've seen Indiegame: The Movie and I will concede that out of the diverse characters displayed only McMillen came across as... psychologically stable. But I also thought every single one of them was intelligent, creative and I respect them for what they do. I cannot fathom what would prompt somebody with a megaphone like a recurring show on gametrailers to see a need to indulge in such a useless rant. All I saw in that video was somebody who tried very hard to force his own personality on others and then justify it by stooping to lower and lower levels of abuse. The term is overused, but: That's simply bullying in its plainest form. What a shame. "Crass and hurtful behavior is not acceptable, in my opinion.

- mathgladiator 13y agoThat's a terrible video; it's unprofessional at the least. The comments are http://polytroncorporation.com/fez-ii-cancelled http://polytroncorporation.com/fez-ii-cancelled just make me sad. Stuff like this is one the reason that the internet makes me sad. Instead of emotions being private, they spread like a virus; fortunately (I hope), phil has a lot of money to weather this.
- NotUncivil 13y agoDon't get upset at the comments. They almost surely trolling from https://boards.4chan.org/v/ https://boards.4chan.org/v/ (NSFW). Look at, e.g., https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/202172198 https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/202172198.
- beaumartinez 13y agoYes. It's very sad that /v/ has it in for Fish. I thoroughly enjoyed Fez, and IMO it's up there with some of the best. He might be a bit of a dick, but so was Steve Jobs. Interesting how Jobs is reveared and yet Fish is despised—perhaps it has to do with the "maturity" of the respective "fan clubs".
- emiljbs 13y agoTrust me, a lot of people dislike Steve Jobs immensely.
- ferongr 13y agoI don't see any indications of coordinated trolling in that thread but rather, a lively discussion about Fish, his antics and Fez.
