"spoons me out"? Europeans are so weird.

Not in Norway, bro. They view inmates as human beings to be rehabilitated back into society. The punishment is the exclusion from society, and having no freedom to go places and do things. That's why Norway doesn't have a life sentence except in utterly extreme cases, Breivek might likely be one.

He posts the game, he's a huckster and a scam artist. He takes it down, he's a self-righteous moron.

Is this seriously what we want? Game developers being tormented by both success and hate to the point of taking their games down or leaving the industry? Between this and Phil Fish, I'd say this is becoming a habit in the gaming community. We should comment on the quality and originality of his games, but…

I've seen something like this before, they should tie everyone up and take blood samples...

Ultimately though the same "cling to every rumor and hold it up as fact" was used just as much to defend it. Many people liked to use the whole "Well you don't know how it works and now we never will LOOK WHAT YOU DID", when in reality, nobody, not even Microsoft could tell you what their features were, or if they…

He shot himself in the foot when he proved that he was an unreliable developer multiple times. Kotaku just brought that to the attention of more people. It sucks that we don't get the game, but he needs to prove that he can actually make it and make it well.

That's why a lot of the best stories are the best stories in comics - they have endings. The monthly on-goings will never have endings, and they really can't. I read mainly stuff like Fables and Chew now, but I still keep up with the superheroes.

I wholly agree. X-Men works best in it's own little X-bubble. There's been a few decent bits of business - I enjoyed Wolverine in the New Avengers - but they really do their own thing most of the time. Even Spider-Man is off on his own most of the time. I suppose that's true for most solo books, but Spider-Man had…

Why the hell would they take a generic idea, make an entire game off it, and release it as fan work with the name despite it being as Notch as the gibberish title only. Why put yourself in that situation to begin with? Just make the damn game, monetize it, and be the next big thing already.

No. Nope. That's not the reaction I had at all. This is more like it:

The first thing that comes to mind when I think "Multiplayer in an Arkham game" is "worthless" and "certainly not needed". But then, I remember how I had hours upon hours of fun in the "worthless" MP extension in Mass Effect 3, and I tell my mind to shut up for a bit.

The problem that I feel with your expressed opinion is that Phil Fish doesn't owe us anything. It's an industrial mentality, and Fish isn't a corporation. Child crying for attention? Maybe, but on the same note you could say that he's a man who tried to give out his artistic vision, and got tired of the struggles that…

So why is it OK for Beer to say whatever the fuck he wants and not get called out on it? Who gives a shit if he's known for that? But hey Fish said "whatever the fuck he wanted to" but let's pile on him and call him a baby!

I'll never understand why people think being an asshole is a bad thing if you do it once, but if being an asshole is your thing and you do it constantly, it's fine. If you choose to be vitriolic and abrasive in order to draw attention to yourself, you assume the risk that the attention you draw will not be the kind of…

But your very second sentence implies that he DOES owe them a response unless he wishes to invoke their wrath.

"Care to comment?"
"No thanks."
"FUCK YOU, SHITBAG!"

Is not how it's supposed to go. If he doesn't want to comment the press is supposed to say "Okay, thank you for your time" and walk away. Like an adult. …

This was probably the eight billionth time he's had to say "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT". Blow said he'd gotten FIVE emails TODAY about the subject, asking for comment on shit they have no clue what is going on with. Fish clearly has no idea how to be a public figure head (which, aside from the attention,…

there is a preatty great and clear differance between "complaints" and out right personally attacking someone. Beer out right personally attacked teh guy and pushed him over the limt. And Fish went too far with the kill your self comment. Both are in the wrong, but I have to admit if Beer wasn't being an asshole in…

I agree. To me it seemed like two immature adolescents unable to empathize with the other. If I were a more cynical person, I'd point to this as a microcosm for how the gaming industry "leaders" act. No wonder many people look down on the industry for its sophomoric attitudes and behaviours. :(

And what was the point of egging on Phil so damn much?
