        I still think the original anon was a master troll that edited the screenshot to make it look like he posted it, and either he or another anon suddenly started pretending to be him replying angrily to other anons.
        >oh, so now I'm a "worm" as well, is he?
        That post in particular is 100% a troll post.
        I would have said something about what would Twitter obsessives do on Ganker but I found it ironic because a lot of anons are social media obsessives now.

            All the shitposting and drama happened on Twitter, Phil has no real reason to go to Ganker, go to Ganker and then make a thread screenshotting his own company closure Twitter post to say "hey guys what you have done is BAD, I was so looking forward to Fez 2 wink wink nudge nudge but then you RUINED IT". It was more likely that a master class troll shitposted by pretending to be him and then another troll jumped on the coattails making those defensive posts.

        Yeah, it's not that uncommon a translated version of your given or surname as your pen name. Suda51 is called that because his name is Suda Goichi, and "go" is 5 and "ichi" is 1 in Japanese.

    What was this guys connection? The Canadian government sponsored Fez for 10 years while he moronicly did everything 3 times over because he had no past experience in game dev. He openly admits this in indie game the movie.
    He was obviously connected to the press circle when gamer gate when down, which is why this happened.
    There's something fishy (heh) about his whole story.

      Irrelevant countries tend to throw a bunch of free money at local creative types in a futile attempt to stop their homegrown industries from being crushed under the steamroller of American (and in the case of vidya, Japanese) culture, and it basically never works.

        Canada does subsidise its games sector for this exact reason. None the less, they gave a complete newby to game dev a huge amount of money over a very long period. You would have imagined that they would have pulled the plug long before he actually released.
        It would be no different from you or I asking the government to pay for your life for 10 years while you teach yourself how to make games.
        That just doesn't happen without some influence coming from somewhere.

          >Canada does subsidise its games sector for this exact reason.
          The government highly sponosers Canadian arts&content.

          However the game dev industry was created in Quebec mostly thanks to ubisoft. The Quebec government really liked the idea of tech&computers, and supported the frick out of it. Well in comes this french company that wanted to set up shop in Quebec. The government went frick yeah sure. They set up shop in a part of town that was kinda run down, while it was hipsterville. There was a frick ton of old dead factories.

          Education is cheap in Quebec and rather good, so you had all these people start working at ubisoft. It grew and became a rather well known name. They did a lot ports and shoveware in the late 90's early 00's. But the montreal studio started pumping out good games and IP's. Other studios were created mostly indie. But then all these AAA and AA companies took noticed of holy frick here is this amazing work force of educated people. Well the Canadian dollar is cheaper then the USD and the Quebec government is totally down with giving 2$ for every 1$ invested.

          From 2000-2012 the field went from 100ish people to like over 20k Every large studio had massive companies in montreal. Honestly its an amazing story when you read into it. Outside of Quebec for gamedev work tho, its moronic as frick horridly funded corrupt as frick people lying and taking advantage of Canadian grants and etc.

          Montreal grew to have this amazing strong tech sector hardware,software,servers&IT out of the ass. If I remember correctly technically this started in the 80's the commador and Atari 2600 where made here or maybe it was just the game carts. But yeah it was ubisoft that made shit blow up. There is over 20 AAA-AA studios here.

          Education wise you have shit from 8 months to 5 years and its free the field is highly competitive.
          . The main issue is business management these frickers cause all the problems and tend to be America.

        so how can anyone know that they are actually puzzles, instead of "guess what color and number I am thinking of right now"?

        I am reminded of a game on steam that purported itself as a "real tough nut to crack" where you could only advance through the levels piecing together cryptic information, until they dissected the game and it became apparrent that it only has a single level and loads of bullshitting trying desperately to make people believe the lie.

    Phil fish was a homosexual and loser. Montreal was the place for game dev,music,culture,arts and etc in Canada. And has not liked/considered a massive homosexual here, like the plateau/mile-end scene is so chill especially in the 00's-early10's. You would have to be a massive fricking homosexual for people to dislike you.

    Moving off to toronto acting like a big shot for such an ego. It was hilarous dude was such a fricking worthless cuck fez was trash. To this day it amazes me people liked&listened to this fricking worthless braindead Black person. Like for you, you have to be mentally moronic if you cannot work in the game dev field here. That was too hard for Philly people were not nice they didn't listen to his stupid ideas and suck his wiener people forced him to work and follow orders and do shit on time.
    So he went to Toronto where all the stupid fricking entitled homosexual suburbanites go to pretend they are cultured and the hottest shit ever.
    Srsly Phil fish was such a fricking hack its not funny people bring him up or even talk of him. Even if he is only remembered here for being a Black person homosexual.
