I stay far away from most indie games because of the bloated sense of importance they place on their creations.
i'll never watch this flick but its kind of par for the course, Gameinformer pretty much made Fish the face of the film.
I'll never watch this film I'm commenting on! You have the distinction of writing the most willfully dumb thing I've read all month, congrats. For what it's worth, I think that Team Meat were the central characters of the film.
I find myself feeling sorry for Phil Fish in all this internet drama. The guy is obviously something of an iconoclast - he thinks big and seems very driven. Fez is an absolutely insane game - the scope is mind boggling as a player, let alone the person that comes up with all of it. It's like a mental illness distilled into a platformer, and it's incredible.
I don't see why people want an artist like this to be likable. Not all artists are, some are total dicks, but their art speaks for itself. He seems like a passionate, emotional and single minded man though, and these are admirable qualities. And at the end, the game speaks for itself.
Also, I will say that as a viewer, I didn't really think badly of this ex-partner. I just assumed there was a lot of unsaid stuff in the background. But none of this invalidates the emotions that Fish was feeling, and the human connection you have to him as a viewer.
