Obviously people on HN aren't quite aware of who Phil Fish is. Try reading the forums over at TIGsource where you'll see that the general sentiment (in the indie community) is that he's a pompous douche and general asshole who probably should not have been even featured in the indie game documentary that came out 2 years ago. What's happening to him is shitty, true. He also has done shitty things to people in the past. One does not justify the other. However, my only point is only that the indie community (talking about devs/designers/artists) as a whole would rather have him gone.
