No real opinion. Fez is a solid game but who even cares at this point? Lots of retro performers.

He couldn't handle even the most basic of human interactions. Watch Indie The Movie and tell me you think that guy is stable.

Had to be. I quit gaming in 2012 and I remember wanting to play Fez.

What happened again?


Basically Fish was being asked about still supporting Microsoft after they changed up their rules about Indie development and releasing on Xbox, making it harder and somewhat unfair. When Fish basically refused to make any statement, Marcus Beer called him out on being spineless. Fish cancelled Fez 2 and left game development.

Phil Fish created Fez. The guy is basically a "tortured artist" type who suffered for his art. He made a good game and then he quit making games when he was confronted by the press about his opinions on Microsoft making it harder for Indie games to be released on their consoles.

He put out a tweet basically blaming games journalism for pushing him out of the business.

Apparently he made an offshoot of his company that was basically serving as a producer for Indie devs, but he quit that too when hackers got his info and published stuff online.

His entire company and the IP of Fez is up for grabs.

@Jeff_AKA_Snoopy

Seems like the guy should have kept that shit to himself until he had more money and clout, he sabotaged himself for stupid reasons.

As a programming person who created a game he should have known better then to be so dumb.

I have no sympathy for a fool.

Phil Fish being a total douche does not change the fact that Fez 1 was one of the most brilliantly subversive games ever made.
