I think Fish is a victim of people not being able to divorce opinions from the person. If you disagree with a person's opinion, that doesn't mean abuse is fair. That should be obvious, but it's a worry that such an evident truth should be necessary to state these days.

Fish obviously has problems communicating his opinions. Maybe he has a very dry sense of humour that few get. Maybe he lacks self-editing skills. Neither of which justify his treatment.

Hopefully he finds something he enjoys so he doesn't have to face the bullshit if that's what he is doing.

Jesus Christ, the guy made a platform game, he didnt cure cancer.

Not directed at jonb or anyone in particular for that matter, just the entire internet.

He siad some dickish stuff, but I'll miss that hilarious profile picture popping up in my timeline off the back of retweets.

Like, erm, Nagoshi-san?

He probably just fancies him.

Just watched the rant on Invisible Walls that kicked this off.
Its actually quite reasonable.

As much as I appreciate non pr speak, getting in a tizzy because someone asks you to comment on something you previously commented on when things change about it doesn't come under refreshing. It comes under you being a dick.

Which is fair enough because those are mostly wretched.

Which begs the question, why talk to them in the first place. Oh right, to get promotion for their own games.

Gamers often have a sense of entitlement that manifests itself in ugly ways.

Journalists often have a sense of entitlement that manifests itself in ugly ways.

Gaming journalists must be hell to interact with.

@Matt Heh. I think the brits have a good bunch of good ones.

Expecting them not to ask you stuff is stupid. If you don't want to talk to the press, don't talk to the press.

As a human being, he is entitled to get tired of it at any point that he decides he is tired, and then say so. Of course, he should do it in a less pissy way to avoid the backlash.

Blows tweets were not far from being Kevin. God, why are you asking me about this? Erm, maybe because you're the most well known Indies, and offered up comment on the subject before?

Use the press to promote your game and run, fine. Use the press to bitch about your experiences with a platform holder, fine. Use the press to bitch about your experiences to promote your game then gum up when it suits you. Knob.

Utter bollocks.

No one asks Tom Cruise about every fucking scientology story, no one asks every pop star about their opinion about every single thing, and certainly not prefacing enquiries with abuse. 

Anyone taking the side of the kotakus in this argument is talking complete ass.

I'm not taking the side of the Kotaku's. I'm simply saying anyone falling for the delicate indie flower being hounded by the beastly press is an utter fucking mug.
