I just saw that an image of Fish's timeline was posted on the reddit thread about this. I was going to post it here before considering it could be seen as a dick move seeing as he locked his profile, but it is out there if you want to go check it out.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting to be honest.

Edit: I'm also wondering if the cancellation was because of all this, or if something else is up and maybe the reason he got so pissed on twitter is because he was already in a bad mood about it. There are many ways to spin what happened, and I doubt we'll ever find out. It's still sad when someone stops creating entertainment which a lot of people enjoy though, no matter the reasoning.

The guy stood his ground, refused to fold, and wasn't afraid to take drastic measures... I respect that. Aside from utter stupidity, I have quite a bit of respect for fortitude.

I'd say he's one of the big faces because he spends so much time talking, while most people focus on what they're doing.

Just read it. I won't deny that I see worse on forums on a regular basis, but still, we do expect better from someone in his position.

Apparently, whatever the Beer guy said was directed both at him and Jonathan Blow, hence BlowFish, but we never see him involved in things like this. I really think Blow is a perfect point of comparison, they're both indie devs who no doubt went through a lot of scrutiny, but handled it in different ways. I would also agree that Fish has to deal with more, concerning people's criticism or even attacks, but that is a result of how he handled himself in the past.

Finally, I hear he has dealt with depression, so that explains his behavior somewhat. Also, though I absolutely hate people making amateur diagnostics over the internet, I wouldn't be surprised if he was bipolar, what with his occasional manic behavior over small things.

Oh for god's sake, leave the man alone.

Hey guys! Someone told me that what attention whores crave is attention. That can't be right, can it?

To summarize:

Annoyed Gamer went full retard.
Then Phil went full retard.
Now Phil's Twitter account is locked.

I give it a month or two before it's public again.

I wish I came up with that.

The guy is definitely an asshole and you can say such things sure in another way, but that seems to be his role.

And when Fish does not want to get words put in his mouth or his person marketed as a success story ( sounds like it) or does not want to promote his game in that show, I can understand his reaction.

Best is, these web TV show guys do not realize that they are the hipsters which make the big wave about what is "indie" and what is not - head against the wall.

I may not agree with how Beer said it but i do agree with what he means to say. And fish is being fish again. I must say i can't stand the guy and every time he does something i seems to dislike him more. It's about time someone called him out big time. Not in a good way perhaps but djeez this immature child needs to grow up. People get offended way to easily these days.

Phil Fish is acting like a spoiled child. I'm not saying the other guy did the right thing, but - there are better ways to handle criticism.

Acting like this isn't one.

AnnoyedGamer wasn't exactly in the right for getting that mad over Blow and Fish not commenting. However if that is what caused him to quit, then he was going to anyways. Probably sooner than later if he was that close to the edge already.

Though if I was placing a bet, I'd say within a month he will use some excuse to say he is back.

That's how I feel about most of the things he says. While I never liked his style I must say that when it comes to merit he usually has a point in his rants.
