That's life kid. Press is a two way street. A symbiotic relationship. You give a shit what the press thinks if you want them to talk about your game at all. Because why are they going to focus on some asshole that won't give them the time of day (ie. help them out) when they have dozens of other people that would love…

Some people just have bad luck mate. Others succumb to vices despite being highly intelligent, interesting, and generally good people.

It does stem from something mental. He himself has told people to ignore him (and to unfollow him on twitter) because he has HPD/NPD. That's why he acts like he does. But that doesn't give him the right to be a dick to people for attention. I feel bad for the guy, but he needs to get some damn help.

You definitely never read what the Japanese dev (whom he insulted) wrote about how badly it embarrassed him in front of a huge fucking crowd of people, in a nation where he couldn't speak the language well and he was thousands of miles from home. If I was there, I'd have thrown a brick at Fish's smug douchebag face.…

I know this sounds corny, but you sound like a good person. I would have loved to met someone like you some years ago when I was having financial issues after the economy collapse lol.

Exactly. When you get hooked on crack or heroin, become homeless, and still have time to talk SF with random people on the street, then you'll get your story. =)

No, you don't, not if you're secure with who you are. I'm an American. The only people that would feel the need to do that in this situation (when all the guy did was tell the truth and express his opinion of how entitled Fish acted, albeit in a rude manner), are just covering up insecurities. If they weren't, then…

Ok, that's fair enough.

Yeah, he told Beer to kill himself eventually. So there's that.

For Fish? Yeah. But that doesn't mean anything, because he should have hired a PR firm to represent him to prevent anything like that from happening ever again. Foresight wasn't required, and even if he had the foresight to do so, he'd have never had the money to do so, and that's fine. But when you're doing as well…

Journalism is a two way street man. You don't wanna answer questions a bunch of outlets are asking you (because you're famous and a huge name in the indie scene?) That's fine, but don't come around here shilling your product in six months and expect it to get any coverage from us. There are hundreds of other indie…

I did say what I meant the first time. And I never said anything stupid, you're just too much of a fucking idiot to understand what I meant apparently. It's not my fault you're a imbecile hypocrite who's grasp on English is obviously terrible if you can't determine an obvious statement indicates obligation to succeed…

That's very much a possibility that I've considered. But it might be his undoing. The spotlight is harsh. Loving during the good times and hateful during the bad. He has to deal with that regardless if he's going to be the face of Polytron. If he can't deal with it, it'd benefit him to give it up to a PR rep.

Exactly. And all Beer really said (if you listened to what he said in the podcast) was this:

They might not be able to before their game is released, but Blow? Fish? After the sales their games have made both could afford any PR agency they desired.

You really are gonna start arguing semantics with me?

I don't think personally targeting the guy is right (like personally msging him on twitter and shit? I mean jesus, he's still a human being.) But he should realize (if he truly does have HPD) that his behavior isn't normal. Someone in that sort of situation should know better than to try and run PR themselves, but…

Exactly. You apparently don't get it. You're a fucking hypocrite, and you apparently can't understand that (or you do, and you're just fuckin retarded).

Well, if he could manage to be silent for a damn minute perhaps it could be "his silent answer". But he won't.

All because he chooses to represent himself instead of hiring a PR firm. And it's costing him customers.
