Phil Fish, the egotistical and self righteous developer of Fez has once again lashed out at the very people who gave him his money and showcased just what sort of person he truly is.
In response to twitter questions about whether he is ever going to make Fez 2 Phil shot back the following
seriously, shut the fuck up about FEZ 2. never going to happen. you don’t deserve it.
— PHIL FISH (@PHIL_FISH) August 17, 2014
Now Phil can make, or not make, whatever he feels like but his bizarre attitude towards gamers is definitely not winning him any friends. And while he may be comfortable now I’m wondering how the industry is going to view him when he needs to make another game to get some more cash.
I had to agree with one of the responses to his tweet.
@PHIL_FISH LOL. Forgot you were a dick. Don’t make the game if you don’t want to, but don’t pretend it’s our fault.
— Chris (@BaltazaRobotnik) August 17, 2014
What I find truly ironic about the entire Phil Fish debacle is that Phil is convinced all gamers are whiny self-entitled jerks and in reality the only whiny self-entitled douche I’m seeing here is Phil himself. The only reason he receives so much abuse is because he makes himself a public figure and isn’t afraid of sharing his opinion. That’s all good and well but then you need to accept that people are going to give it back.
Just because you think you are right doesn’t mean you actually are. My wife tells me this all the time.

I think Cliff B wishes he was Phil Fish. I used to call this behaviour the Cliff B effect, but I think Phil has surpassed Cliffy. I now dub it… THE PHIL FISH EFFECT!

Cliffy could always hire Phil as his PR manager?

Ah but at least Cliffy B has made more than a single game, Phil just had a lucky break. It’s not like we classify the flappy bird developer as any good

Microsoft could learn a few things from Phil Fish. a) RETIRE AFTER A MASSIVE TWITTER BLOWUP b) Cancel Fez 2 c) Months later – bring up the topic of Fez 2 (d) Tell gamers to fuck off because they’ll never see Fez 2 (e) ?????? (f) Profit
PS: The more time passes, the more I think I understand Phil. He actually understands this industry. Now make Fez 2 you goon! 😀

If he ever does make Fez 2 I think gamers won’t buy it until it goes on special at 80% off or is part of a bundle of some kind.

Pirate the game.

Except for when I buy a game and I can’t play it because of the fuc*ing DRM.

A sudden case of an inflamed cocktonsil…. ? I thought only xboners were affected by this. After all, a solid boning leads to a bad case of cocktonsil (Are we taking this too far again?)
