So while I was at work today I was following twitter and Phil went full assault on this asshole called Kevin Dent. Now I follow twitter mainly at work to pass time and occasionally when media events take place (Super Bowl, UFC Fights, E3, etc) but I never heard of this guy or this conflict today. Can anyone explain what the hell started this or even when? It was just crazy today that Phil was criticizing Polygon and bashing this dude (rightfully so if you read some comments that he has said) which felt like out of nowhere but it obviously has been around for I am assuming a few weeks.

Any info would be greatly appreciated to help me understand what the fuck is going on.

About a month ago Fish went on one of his twitter rants against Microsoft. I don't know what Dent has going with MS but he decided to defend them by calling Fish a dick and saying he he didn't code any of Fez himself and screwed over his business partner. Much insults were traded and they have been snarking at each other ever since.

Has Mr Dent done anything significant within the industry prior to his ... do we call them Twitter feuds, that I should be aware of?

@nightriff: Kevin Dent and Phil Fish have disliked each other for a long time now. They clashed as recently as a few weeks ago when Keven Dent attacked him, his character, and his skill as a developer. Dent has also not been adverse to insulting other game journalists, and he has even made an enemy of NeoGAF a number of times. A lot of people regard him as a misogynistic jerk with little self-restraint. He has publicly insulted Destructoid and Jim Sterling in particular, and he seems to have no qualms with talking shit about anyone.

I think Phil Fish has had every right to dislike him. This is just more of the same.

Kevin Dent is a piece of shit. Phil has been absolutely killing it on Twitter the last couple days. It's been magical.

Dent dropped the Indie thing a day before it happened for MS. He also talked with me a nice bit before it happened. Seemed nice even was a good sport about my teasing.

Fish is a guy who I think is the shit but I can see why people would find him overbearing as a personality, Kevin Dent on the other hand is actually just a horrible person.

Fish is an asshole to people who are asking for it. Dent is just an asshole.
