Hardcore Gamer: Phish decided to deal with the negativity by responding with negativity, which isn't something I can criticize him for. It's easy to sit over here saying "be good, stiff upper lip, carry on, let it go" but I've never actually been a focal point for an internet @#!^-stream.
Random Nintendo shares Indie World highlights and impressions of Fez, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, and Aerial_Knight's Never Yield. Plus, The Great Ace Attorney, Microsoft's Switch on a shelf, and more.
With its unique visuals, wonderful soundtrack, and addicting gameplay, FEZ is as much fun to play today as it was nine years ago. Jes from Gaming Respawn reviews.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "In short, Fez is as good now as it has always been. The reason I call this version the best way to experience this indie game is mostly due to the perfect combination of the Switch’s portability and its screen being much larger than the Vita’s. This is easily one of the best indies ever made, and one of the most important games of the past decade. Even though a lot of younger players only know it due to its troubled development cycle and some post-launch controversies, Switch owners should definitely pick this game up. This gem took an eternity to arrive on the system, but it feels right at home on it."
As far as I'm concerned, Beer is just as responsible, if not more so for being a condescending prick and throwing the match on the gasoline. Not saying Fish is innocent for fanning the flames and reacting so immaturely, but he's not the most sociable guy to begin with. It's not fair to judge him by the same standards given it's been pretty easy to tell the man is not as capable of making his messages clear and concise as the average person in the industry.

I don't care who the community is siding with. I'm not giving any props to Beer. The man is a an opportunistic tool and he's the one who instigated the situation in the first place. Like I said, Fish is definitely accountable for his actions, but to think he's entirely guilty for this mess is ludicrous.
Nobody owes Phil Fish or Johnathan Blow any apologies for having negative opinions of them. They earned those opinions when they decided to be pompous gasbags and, in Fish's case, a complete and total douchebag.
Let them get huffy, let Fish act like a 5yr old in the toy aisle who just got told no. They'll either grow up and act like mature adults should when faced with things they don't like or they'll be children the rest of their lives, and mocked as such.
I can DEFINITELY blame Fish. I can ALSO go at Beer for being the very kind of person he called out Fish and Blow for being.
Beer was a toolbag for berating a couple of indie devs who didn't feel like giving up console war soundbytes to "journalists". Phil Fish is always acting like a child mid-tantrum. He flings his shit at the world and breaks down when the world responds.
Fish's fanboy brigade is out in full force I see.
I wonder if they'd still defend him if he tweeted them back "F*** y** and go choke on a d***" in response to a comment.
And Fez should've been a free flash "game", not a 10$ steam release.
