Creator and lead designer of successful indie game Fez (Phil Fish) is no stranger to speaking candidly to both press and public. The newest saga of heated back and forth between Fish and journalists may have reached a fever pitch, however. The most recent exchange of anger with GameTrailers Michael Beer has left Fish bitter enough to announce on his Twitter that Fez II is canceled.
This spontaneous announcement comes from a very coarse dialogue that started when Michael Beer made some off hand comments on Gametrailers Invisible Walls show.The comments were regarding Jon Blow and Phil Fish, and their mixed reactions involving ?Microsoft?s reversal about indie devs being able to self-publish on the Xbox One. While both Fish and Blow appreciated Microsoft to allow them to publish, both devs voiced negativity towards Microsoft about the ?reversal being a redundancy of not having a better policy in the first place.
Further, both devs made comments critical of the gaming press, in regards to pestering them for opinion incessantly looking for sound bites about video game culture. Michael Beer shot back at both Fish and Blow on GT?s Invisible Walls, ?and declared: ?Don?t get f****** snicky about it!?
Beer goes on:
?If you guys want the promotion,the next time around on [your games]?.[you must be aware] you guys are out there you have to suck it up.?
The quotation I?ve featured above is the least insulting of Beer?s sentiments, who goes on to call the indie developers ?hipster tosspots? and directly calls out Fish for being a ?f****** a**hole?, all the while referring to the duo as ?Blow Fish? out of spite.
The full video?has Beer going on for some time, and gives off a sense of anger that both devs are being hypocritical given their level of success. The video showcases Beer being so insulting however, that Fish responded in full, even going as far to Tweet that Beer should kill himself for his remarks.
The two have been at each others throats ever since, with Fish has even gone as far as locking his Twitter account and officially announcing the cancellation of Fez II. ?Needless to say, ?Fishgate? has spawned and flooded the internet very quickly, and has left everyone with a wet mess. As of this moment, the whole back and forth has observably halted the development of Fez II, and has left a bitter taste in everyone?s mouth about the entire debacle.
I have a feeling we may not have heard the last of this explosive communication, and will keep you updated on further developments.
