Did Phil Fish just pose as a Fez 2 fan on 4Chan?

1 min read

The biggest news this week has quite obviously been Phil Fish taking his ball home with him. The man has had to put up with a crapton of hate from the gaming industry over the last couple of years, and combined with the fact that he can’t handle negativity, the inevitable meltdown was only one jerkass away. But has he really vanished?

Over on 4Chan, which is the one place no game developer, no matter how thick-skinned they are should ever go to, popped up a Fez 2 thread. Embiggen the image below and read through it quick.

Sounds like your usual 4Chan, right? Except look at the tweet again. It was quite clearly screen-captured from the Polytron account, as it had the admin options active below it. Now whether or not this is Fish giving 4Chan some grief, or a Polytron staffer with access to the account, I don’t know.

But seeing as how Fish has posted on 4Chan before, I’d bet good money on it, despite the thread being deleted. Or so one would think.  Because whoever posted this isn’t going to look good at the end of the day with comments like that.

The Internet ladies and gentlemen. It never forgets. Thanks to @HadleeSimons for the link.

      Same here. I loved him within the Indie Game Documentary. He was a bit of a weirdo, but one I liked. But this now – I dunno what to think atm.

        Nice going, your ability to apply such wonderful use of the English language is splendid. If only it wasn’t used in some lame attempt to feed your ego and superiority complex. The anonymity of the internet is indeed a wonderful thing, it gives angry, small minded people the false sense of power.In anycase, well done 🙂 ! I hope you feel better about your pointless life, because it will never get any better than your comments

            feed them, it is the only affirmation they have that they exist, that their lives mean something in a world that has disregarded worthless trash such as themselves. Society has no place for dirt like them, so they flee to the internet where upvotes keep them warm at night

    Dude, if this really was him then he is being rather hypocritical. I mean, cancelling the game because someone was mean then doing the exact same thing?

    However I really hope it was just some person who had access to the Polytron account and not Phil himself. I’d like to think the guy wouldn’t have such double standards

      Hello there, person from 2007! This is 2013, where no one is scared of 4chan because it’s a dusty old pre-Web 2.0 fossil. Would you believe those whining crybabies you used to make fun of are the popular ones now? Yeah, it’s like everyone just turned into Chris-chan and JDR and etc.!

    The guy is a dwis. He makes shitty comments towards Japanese games and then when people give him grief about his games and he pulls it? Who is this guy trying to spite? The haters? He is showing the middle finger to the fans. Now Cliffy is trying to give this screaming toddler a candy bar?

    Fuck Phil Fish. He’s been an asshole since he started. He’s an ideas guy that made pixelated sprites because he can’t do anything more and then calls himself a great game designer and tells those that criticize him for being a dick after spending 5 years on creating a horrible platformer to “suck his dick” and “choke on it”
    He could die in a pool of his own vomit and nobody significant would shed a fucking tear

    Notch owes some of his early success to posting there in ’09/’10. There’s even a “Woo, /v/!” message on the Minecraft title screen.

    Are you serial?If you want actual constructive criticisms and feedback on your titles go to 4chan. If you want a no hurt feelings hugbox go to reddit.

    yes there are shitposters, but thinking 4chan is just trolls and instantly invalidating a persons opinion because they come from 4chan is a fucking defense mechanism by shitty devs who cant handle anyone critiquing their work

    I sense those Andy Kaufman lambchops are not just for show. I think Fish is in his man cave, cheese curls on lap, having fun at trolling the masses. I suspect Fez 2 will be back on the cards, when he’s had his Fill (pun intended), or the teary-eyed masses are crying for Fez 2.
    The real victim here is Beer, who’s being dragged through the mud, whereas for Phil Fish this is one massive PR schlong. Call me old, call me cynical, but the Banana has always stood firm in the face of PR bullshit.

    this happens because people are stupid…some people that don’t do anything in their entire life, think that can offense a genius video game maker…. Fez is a masterpiece and these people sure only play at call of duty… so please. keep shooting and getting fat in your sofa and let the genius working calm. and not i’m not Phil… i am someone that really enjoy fez like no other… and i know the hard work that did phil, and this is a thing that i appreciate…
