Very insightful video with some very valid comments.
Phil did a big mistake on how he projected himself - he was basically giving people reasons to hate him with his stupid responses - he just got a little bit ahead of himself.
I thought FEZ was fantastic, but if he doesn't want to do the sequel, so be it. Even if the game journalism (which video made a perfect statement on - game journalism isn't any sort of commentary that serves the progression of the media, it's gossip, at best) liked to demonise him, he behaved like a kid throwing a tantrum. The public hated him for seemingly undeserved attention (I came across FEZ long after it was released so I couldn't tell, I thought the game deserved spotlight because it was one of the best indies I have ever played) so he could prove with the sequel he had every damn right for that recognition.
There are very talented people out there (music, actors, etc.) who are total cunts and don't mind showing it, but they are universally loved because guess what - they can prove time and time again that they can be smug about their success. Fish's mistake IMO was that he timed his victory lap a little bit too early.
