Just an attention whore who makes shitting games.
We really shouldn't give this guy a stage.

Well if that means he'll stfu from now on that'd be lovely.
holy shit lol
I'm almost disgusted by the prospect that a majority of GAF would prefer a nice guy PR persona to a honest indie dev's perspective. Without 'whiney', 'angry', 'etc.' developers (and artists in general) the world would be a boring place. I find my Mike Pattons much more interesting than the fucking guy from Coldplay.

I feel like that's a huge part of what happened here. Why go out of the way to fuck with the guy if you don't even like his work?

Seems like everyone is being immature on both sides.
Fish does seems like an inane person at times

I appreciate they exist and make this industry much more ridiculous and fun, but I still think they're idiots.

Well, I guess Fish should go live in a cave then.
I will, too, because I have similar issues, and I would hate to have anyone deal with my own immature, pathetic presence that should just die, because all people like Fish should just die miserable and alone and go away so the extroverts with no problems whatsoever can reign.
The guy clearly has a temper with a short fuse.. it just doesn't mix well with the internet. I dont think hes as bad as people try to make him out to be, he just gets pissed and starts saying stupid shit.
Hell almost everyone on these boards has said something stupid at one time or another.. imagine being called out for that for years! just because you managed to make a successful game. You would probably end up spitting back some dumb shit as well if treated like that for so long.
Some people with known status just don't do well when mixed up in this stuff.. hell I remember reading an article about Eminem (nah I dont listen to his music) where he said he avoids computers altogether because if he read what people were saying about him on twitter and facebook he would probably end up killing someone.
Anyways I think I will just say this.. most if not manys hate for Phil just as immature as some of his posts.. yet you wont get called on it like he does.

Apparently he canceled the game so that he could write some Dr. Seuss books.

I wonder if he had to Google 'tosspot' before deciding to rage quit.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Twitter is an absolutely putrid tool for anything more than a relatively indirect and harmless stream of consciousness.
But yes, I agree, assuming he's not trolling Fish probably needs someone grounded and compassionate in his life to help uproot him out of shit like this. And honestly, making your twitter profile private is not a bad idea.

Christ, the comments on that announcement page... I'd prob hate myself if people I didn't know in person were telling me those kinda things all the time
How do you get away with it?

You seem to prefer straw men too.
Alright, even I expected this to be some kind of joke. But if this is some public stunt, it's seriously gone on for way too far.
Fish is going to get lynched if he pops out a week later and goes "surprise, fuck you media". In fact I'd say the damage is already done.
Check the comments. They're brutal.
FEZ 2 wasn't going anywhere creatively, and Fish takes an internet argument as the opportunity to announce that a game (that probably didn't exist) was cancelled, in order to get attention for himself.
What a baby.
'I don't like the criticism. I don't like the attention.' He says (albeit not in those words) on his fucking Twitter account. He's telling someone to kill themselves, and he can't put up with being criticized?
Calling him a baby isn't fair on babies. I just don't want to hear from, or about him, anymore.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Hopefully this is a ruse to enable him to withdraw from press and social media and develop in secrecy. I would like more Fez.
Maybe you should stop with the Phil Fish style dickishness and be a little more EA PR Department.
By putting people with nothing better to do than throw around personal insults on the internet on my ignore list. It's not like they have anything to offer.

He's just fishing for attention.

Cliff Bleszinski tweeted about it.
*Checks Kotaku after being away for a while*
And I'm done here, now let's all tune in again when he continues development anyway when his attention-meter reaches 100%.

Pretty sure Patton is a pretty decent guy in person, even though his creative product is more abrasive.
Really, why do people mistake a lack of tact for honesty?

This is it, exactly. Twitter is a public forum, and the more you have followers, the more you should be aware of its nature.
But now he's finally had his phil

This is sending the price of Phil Fish trading cards through the roof. I just sold a foil Phil for £15!
Oh wow. I think he has actual problems. Seriously, he needs help and support. Maybe locking his twitter was a good idea.
It's hard to imagine being the target of that much vitriol and not being able to react to it like a normal person. I don't want to call this internet bullying (he's quite good at bullying himself) but man is the internet shitty.
Oh, and taking everything out on Games Journalism as if you should expect anything out of it is rather disingenuous.
Not getting your point here. Have a controversial/confrontational attitude or personality and don't neuter it at all while on the internet? Expect confrontations and discourse. Can't handle discourse? Don't present things in a way that attracts confrontation.
I love all of you

Fish gave out death threats?
I don't recall him doing that (that Futurama quote isn't a death threat, you people... your reasoning is bad and you should feel bad. Say it's in poor taste or whatever but don't call it something it's not) and given the veracity and sheer stupidity of some gamers I'm sure he's received quite a few of his own. And that count is only going to increase, starting tonight
You know that Patton shat and vomited into hotels central air? He threw a guy off a stage and broke his legs? Just Google 'Mike Patton' and 'Wolfmother' and see how he talks about his peers.
Funny thing is, I wanted to write Axl Rose in the first place. Still prefer grandiose douche bags like Rose to PR speak. Do your thing, don't compromise. I love that attitude.

The condescension in this thread is no different from Phish's reaction on twitter. Pretty much everyone in this thread who makes a condescending comment is as much a douche as Phish.

He's French Canadian, that's all I need to know in order to be on Marcus Beers side with this one.
Are you saying Kotaku (or any gaming site) shouldn't report on this or something?
How predictable Kotaku, reporting on a major game being canceled.
you guys are all morons.. you guys a bunch of assholes, and your work and contributions are worthless.
..
just kidding... but now.. how angry were you for the 5 seconds you were reading that? These indie developers probably get a lot of that every second on twitter... kinda harsh i think.. even the most easy going person would be bogged down by the negativity soon enough...
