Support NeoGAF

[ElectricBlue187]

I hope he comes back someday a little more mature

 

[Devilgunman]

After telling Marcus to kill himself? He can get sued for saying that ain't he?

 

[10k]

Please Understand

 

[Silky]

And some of you guys bought his game... *smh*

Because it was the product of other people besides Fish, and we wanted to support the game because it was legitimately good? Where are you getting at...?

 

[Card Boy]

Quiting twitter seems like the more sensible thing to do.

yep, but i guess after XBLA and Steam he would have between 500k to 1.5million so he can walk confortably and do other stuff.

 

[iMax]

So, see you next week?

Sounds to me that the Gametrailers afair was pretty childish; I'm not a fan of Fish, but that was uncalled for.

Most of the stuff Marcus Beer says is uncalled for. He should show some respect and professionalism. I know it's supposed to be an act, but it's not cool when things like this happen.

 

[JudgeB]

and all because of overreacting gamers, such a shame

Ya, it is gamer's fault that he says stupid shit constantly lol

 

[orznge]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[TheSpoiler]

Yep. There's a lot of twofaced 'phil fish is rude' and 'lol what a whiny bitch' going on in the last 3 threads.

How is it rude to call him whiny when he's being exactly that?

I guess Fish can escape from criticism on the grounds that everyone must play nice and never call anyone out on anything.

 

[goldenpp72]

This guy is such a drama queen, can he ever speak without bitching or complaining?

 

[Krusenstern]

Did he commit a crime? What are you implying?

He's an ass and I don't like him. That is all.

Dear Fish:

Good luck finding a job in the real world with that ego and personality of yours.

Sincerely,
choking on a dick

 

[Iadien]

Just a tad sensitive there.

 

[Canis lupus]

This might sounds crazy, but just leave Twitter?

Exactly, just stop interacting on social media and do what you love: making games. Is twitter like coffee break to him? This tells me he wasn't enjoying what he was doing. Letting angry comments(that he wouldn't have got/read if he wasn't on twitter) decide whether to keep working or not, wow.

 

[Massa]

Good luck to him. Hopefully he won't have to deal with abuse on the internet, whatever he ends up doing with his own life.

 

[YianGaruga]

After telling Marcus to kill himself? He can get sued for saying that ain't he?

Why would you get sued for that? It's not even an insult.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

No matter if he is leaving or just messing with us, he gets this from me

I wish him all the best in his future endevors.

Even though I don't agree this gif is AMAZING! I'm stealing this LMAO!!

wonderfully edited

 

[Baleoce]

I agree with the "he should just quit twitter instead" stance.

Look it's okay. Some people aren't good with other people. Hell, I'd probably put myself in that bracket. It doesn't mean you can't still be creative and do what you love doing. I'm sure there are tons of closet jackasses out there that make brilliant games, but they just choose not to let their abrasive personality meet the public eye.

 

[Nethaniah]

Would be happy to see him go, shame it's probably just a childish tantrum that will blow over.

 

[sky]

Can somebody summarize?
All I know is he made some dumb comments a few times. What's the big drama he's referring to?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I know it sounds silly, but making games is quite stressing.

I watched Indie Game: The Movie last night, and yeah, the development of Fez was pretty terrible for him. All that stress seems to have really messed him up.

Not to say that I like the guy's views or intend to give him any money, but he does deserve better than this with that in mind.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I think he ought to take a holiday and relax for a while.
Maybe if he were to return to the industry he'd find it more comfortable working as part of a larger developer, instead of being the go to guy for a specific game - he can be left to work in peace in the background. That's if he has any passion for games left at all.

Also yes, he should quit social media. He only feels such 'abuse' because he draws that kind of attention to himself so often.

 

[fastballspecial]

Peace out, bro! I won't miss your dumb ass.

 

[digita1alchemy]

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Fish acts up a lot but Marcus Beer is consistently cruel and consistently unpleasant as a persona. I would prefer he leave gaming, but I know there are hundreds of people who appreciate that sort of post-Yahtzee gamer comedy. What Phil needs to quit is having a public Twitter account.

 

[Red Rudolph]

 

[Yado]

Childishness all around. Hopefully he's happier in his future endeavours.

You don't value your account here?

 

[SapientWolf]

He's gonna cool down and backtrack on this in a few days right?

Yeah, probably.

You almost killed me man, I've been sat here choking on my drink for about 10 minutes now.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

If this is true, like I said earlier today, he wanted all the benefits of fame and power (sales, attention, respect, the ability to talk shit to whomever about whatever he pleases), but wouldn't stand the heat of its drawbacks.

 

[iMax]

Has this been posted yet?

Wow.

 

[Oersted]

Have you had thousands of people spewing venom at you on Twitter?

Opinions of the guy aside, it's a fucking shame that it looks like we lost someone that brought creativity to this industry over something like this. People get in disagreements and say things they don't mean every day, it just doesn't always blow up on Twitter like Phil's confrontation did.

Have you seen what happened to the Platinum guys (not Kamiya alone) when Bayo2 was announced? On GAF alone?

Have you seen what happened to Sarkeesian when she announced her "Tropes" Kickstarter campaign?

 

[Mushroomer25]

Honestly, I don't think this guy was ever going to last. If it wasn't this controversy that would force him to quit, something else would just happen later down the line. His damn ego made him a lightning rod for criticism, which clearly he's incapable of dealing with.

And it's a shame. Fez is a great game. But if an artist is unable to deal with the attention they receive - they're just not cut out for success.

 

[LuuKyK]

Bye. Good luck in whatever new medium you are going to. I am glad he relized how non welcome he was in the industry.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

He will totally not attract drama and abuse in every other vocation he chooses.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Good riddance.

 

[Nokterian]

I guess he doing this to work on the game in silent with no people or whatever saying or asking anything to him.

Remember how joaquin phoenix trolled everyone? I think it will happne the same way.

 

[DigitalRicket]

If he loves games he'll calm down and carry on . I just hope he identifies the problems that make him so upset and angry before coming back.

It'd be a shame for him and the industry for this to truly be it.

What he needs is a PR guy to handle this sorta stuff. If I were him I'd leave Twitter, forget looking at news, blogs, videos about his projects or whatever, and just focus on his game. Let the PR guy he hires do all that sorta stuff. There are ways to completely shut out the noise.

LeBron James does a similar thing when it comes to the NBA playoffs each year. He's done it two years in a row where starting a month before the playoffs start he stops visiting Twitter and watching TV period. He reads books and focuses on the task at hand. It takes you out of the "connected world", so to speak. Fish needs to do something like this.

Mr. E.

Good luck producing any creative work of interest to others with that judgmental and boring personality of yours.

 

[Alucrid]

I hope he uses some of his new found time off to trim that scraggly beard.

 

[shira]

Damn gametrailers. Wario who'd career you gonna ruin now?

 

[Devilgunman]

Why would you get sued for that? It's not even an insult.

Telling somebody to kill themselves is not an insult? That's new for me.

 

[akachan ningen]

What a crybaby. Can't you ignore stupid shit people say?

 

[Enco]

You don't value your account here?

:lol I think you missed the joke.

Choke on a dick was an insult Phil used.

 

[Agnostic]

Good for him. I hope he finds joy in other endeavors or sits on a beach somewhere with umbrella drinks and a joint.

 

[Caerith]

Goodbye, Phil Spector Fish. If only there was a way for people to be talented and creative without behaving like total assholes.

 

[TheSpoiler]

What a crybaby. Can't you ignore stupid shit people say?

Ah, yeah, you could, but it's better to throw your arms up and shit your diaper I guess.
