Yeah I believe that's what started it, but I think what rubs people the wrong way is that here is this guy that (as you say) is bluntly honest — to the point of being rude — to people. Yet when people are bluntly honest with him, he reacts very negatively.
Edit: You say "bullying," but I would suggest that he maintains his online persona in such a way as to generate controversy. He comes off as very abrasive, even annoying, at times. I felt that he specifically tries to spur such reactions with his comments.
- tomflack 13y agoCan you quote someone being "bluntly honest" with him?
- AndyKelley 13y agoI'm kind of disgusted by the overuse of the word "bullying". But look at some of these comments: http://polytroncorporation.com/fez-ii-cancelled http://polytroncorporation.com/fez-ii-cancelled "Cry me a river, Fishy-boy. No one cared for FEZ, no one cares for FEZ II and no one cares for the cancellation." "Get lost you waste of talent. Shitbag telling others to kill themselves, you dont deserve your fame, money or attention." "Good. I hope that you never come back" "You are an embarrassment." "Good news. Stop making games please." I've scrolled 0.1% down the page but I'll stop there.
- incision 13y agoLook at comments on previous posts, overwhelmingly positive. The cancellation incited the 800+ comment shitstorm you linked, they didn't precipitate it.
- interpol_p 13y agoFor comparison, look at tweets to Call of Duty developer @DavidVonderhaar from angry players because gun stats were changed: http://gamerfury.tumblr.com http://gamerfury.tumblr.com Doesn't excuse this behaviour at all. But Phil Fish is not the only one who has to deal with it.
