He's the dude that made Fez.

He just randomly popped into my head. Kind of weird that people acted like he should be literally crucified for....being smug on the internet?
people like their generic flash no substance japanese games

Didn't you decide to leave?

I really like Fez, it's a great game and a good time.

But I heard Fishy was kinda nutty

he was kind of the prototypical archetype of twitter culture.
outside of Twitter, he was a nobody.

didn't he tell people to kill themselves

I think that's a level beyond smug

Oh yes, that person who canceled fez 2 because he didn't like somebody's opinion.

no

well, he could have but that's not why he was cancelled

at the 2012 game developers conference, a japanese dev asked him what he thought about modern japanese games, and he said "your games just suck"

which prompted a bunch of backlash, people calling him a racist monster, ect. keiji inafune, though, said it was a "necessary criticism"

lol Japanese games did kind of suck in 2012 though.
Was Fez even good? A lot of people talked about it back in the day. I guess it was one of the first Retraux indies?

It was very good... arguably the best puzzle game for a long time

7:45 for the Phil Fish part.
I wasn't aware of the whole online diss-course on Japanese games back then but seeing this recently.... Yeah seriously, fuck that guy.
He is like the Minecraft guy, he made his money then got out of the business. I didn't really care about what he said, and I enjoyed Fez for the 3-4 hours it took me to beat it, but it wasn't anything I was aching for a sequel to. He can sit in his room with his millions and just stay out of society for all I care.

Notch was a slightly different case than Fish. Notch sold his company for a big pile of Microsoft money and decided he was done. Fish was actually working on another game and then had an online meltdown and decided he didn't want to deal with people.

I take it you're unaware that most of us also consider those complaining about "wokeness" in games (or any other media) to be bigoted morons.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.
yep

it's always fun to ask them what specifically makes a game "woke" because it makes them leave the topic
