You mean "why did nobody react the same to a comedy show as to a man known for some serious and hateful tirades directed at a real person?"Orange Lazarus said:

Why is this question even being asked?
Fuck Marcus Beer, fuck this clickbait headline, and fuck Gamers for celebrating the fact that someone was so jaded by our shitty awful community that it made him quit.
I give him credit for sticking it out this long though, since being under constant scrutiny from the gaming community of all places would drive me fucking insane.

I dunno, normal people just don't say stuff like that. When all is said and done, all I can really feel is sorry for Fish, he seriously is not a people person. An ass, yes, but I look on him like you look at that kid at school who tries to make fun of others but only ends up looking more pathetic himself. With a talent for video games.
Personally I think he needs a big hug, and then his twitter permanently removed.

See I hate this crap, if I were to lash out at my job about someone angry about my work because someone else(or him) screwed up setting it up(Or didn't read the help guide we made to use it) I would get fired (And yes this crap does happen). He lashes out and people think he is in the right, screw that. He is a professional and needs to act like it.
The clickbait headline is a very valid point, no doubt it adds fuel to the fire to boot. Third time in very recent history that I've really disliked and/or disagreed with an Escapist article that is very reminiscent of red top rags that plague the UK.Dr Pussymagnet said:
I'm going to go with the problem is not Marcus Beer or our otherwise godawful community. Somewhere somehow someone failed to teach Mr. Fish and many of his peers that there is the voice inside your head, and there is the voice you use in public. And the internet does not get to use the one from inside your head. Appearence counts. Speech counts. Professionalism counts. I don't care how good a game developer you are. Being a good game developer who keeps the voices inside ones head, INSIDE ONES HEAD, makes you an even better game developer. I've been a gamer for almost 40 years now. I have seen followed and listened to a lot of devs. The absolute best of them always carry and present themselves with an amazing degree of professionalism, and respect for others and the world in general. Can anyone here even imagine someone like Sid Meier suggesting that a fan or journalist go kill himself? Raph Koester? Shigeru Miyamoto? (Well ok if he did it would be in a very hard to decypher haiku.) Gabe Newell? Richard Gariott? Some may be sane, some may be completely bonkers. Some may be great guys, some may be total assholes. But they all at least understand the basic rules of how to present yourself to the public, to their customers and to the general world. And their products and their fans are far far the better for it.
Quite frankly somebody simply needs to teach Fez boy some manners for real. (and no I don't mean an ass kicking. I mean really teach him what manners and impulse control are.) He's a spoiled child at best and mentally unhinged at worst.

I guess I'm the only one who has no problem with this. I've done that to people too. Go kill yourself is the same as go fuck yourself. If anyone can't handle that then they need thicker skin.
I agree with Fish... if you're gonna dish it out then expect it back 10 fold.

And fuck Phil for being a hateful, arrogant, self important, little asshole. The industry doesn't need someone who responds to criticism with "eat a dick and choke on it".Dr Pussymagnet said:
OT: This made my day. phil fish ragequitting the industry is wonderful news. Now if Blow can just follow suit the two most toxic, arrogant blowhards in the industry will be gone. BTW, a word to Mr. Fish:
You mean like every other game developor/producer on the planet? When ever you make content and put it on the internet, your going to be microscoped and dissected which will make two camps. People who like your work and people that don't. Fish couldn't handle this what so ever, constantly throwing tantrums like a child. What I find hilarious about the whole damn thing is ever since his game came out, he acted like hot shit. Beer had every right to call him out, sure he could of been more tactful but it is what it is.Dr Pussymagnet said:Fuck Marcus Beer, fuck this clickbait headline, and fuck Gamers for celebrating the fact that someone was so jaded by our shitty awful community that it made him quit.
I give him credit for sticking it out this long though, since being under constant scrutiny from the gaming community of all places would drive me fucking insane.
However, Throwing a fit, fake-canceling a game along with the rest of his tirade is not excusable. Being Bi-polar is not an excuse. Fish is no victim here as there is none, it was a "Dick" calling out a "Dick" and instead of dealing with it privately, decided it to share it with everyone.
Exactly, it seems like Fish is just sick and tired of being unjustifiably attacked from all sides and when he reacts to it, everyone else in turn reacts by attacking him some more. It doesn't make any fucking sense.Dr Pussymagnet said:Fuck Marcus Beer, fuck this clickbait headline, and fuck Gamers for celebrating the fact that someone was so jaded by our shitty awful community that it made him quit.

I heard worse things said about Phil Fish than said by Phil Fish and at a much larger scale.
From his perspective, the only way to make it stop is to get out of video games. Honestly, considering that he is a bit on the unstable side (according to not only the things he's said/done but comments from his fellow indie developers, namely Edmond McMillan and Tommy Refenes from Team Meat who know him very well) I wouldn't put past him if decided just to end it and actually kill himself. What then? Earlier in this post some said that if that happened, nothing of value would be lost. Which I find way more bothersome than Fish quoting a line from Futurama.
If that were to happen I think people would be singing a different tune.
Damn dude............a TF2 vid..............damn talk about Owned.........you really Owned that philfish dude hard......Damn...major_chaos said:
Also thanks for helping prove my point.
I don't think it should matter what a person says and whether it's normal or not. It's not relevant to anything. All that matters is whether he's doing something good for the world of games.sir neillios said:
I'm far more distressed about large multimillion/billion dollar game companies screwing over their consumers en masse than by one developer who told a guy to kill himself over twitter. The latter is such a non-issue that it doesn't even factor into my consciousness when someone asks me what I think about Phil Fish.
Yeah, he may be immature. He may have a bad temper. He may have a ton of stress, or may just hate people. Maybe he has a good reason to, as well. Judge a person not by what he says but by what he does and you'll have a far more truthful basis upon which to either praise or condemn him.
I think he's being judged unfairly, and that he has enough shit to deal with (he's a troubled guy, it's pretty obvious) that the hate of the entire internet isn't going to help anything. And I think it's a damn shame that Fez II is getting cancelled for reasons like that. No doubt if Phil Fish were to go and off himself, a sizable chunk of the internet would say "Finally we're rid of that asshole", proving that the denizens of the internet are far more cruel and unpleasant than Fish himself could ever be.
A guy doesn't want to take criticism but tells a Japanese dev at a gaming convention that all modern Japanese games suck. Goodbye and good riddance, Mr. Fish. The industry doesn't particularly need you anyway and will hardly mourn the loss of an indie dev that made one game.
I think he seriously needs to get his life together.

It was all normal and Fishtastic until the cancellation of Fez II.

I'm kind of flabbergasted now. I think the guy might need some therapy.

What point? Yeah, people hate the guy. They hate him because he's a pompous, obnoxious asshole who has been doing stuff like this from day one. I really hate "art" games, both because they usually suck as games, and because their developers tend to think they're God's gift to gamers.Dr Pussymagnet said:
I have never heard a quote from Phil Fish that didn't make me think he was a narcissistic drama queen and a truly detestable asshole. He's one of the few devs I dislike so much that I actively avoid the games he makes. This certainly hasn't made me think more of him.
I'd agree... if this wasn't the first time he acted like this. The man is very vocal and throws a fit when people try and tell him he's wrong.Dr Pussymagnet said:Fuck Marcus Beer, fuck this clickbait headline, and fuck Gamers for celebrating the fact that someone was so jaded by our shitty awful community that it made him quit.

In other words, he's Chris-Chan.
