@zombie2011: Read the Kotaku article..yes yes kotaku, but it's actually pretty informative about why no publisher in their right mind should ever want to work with SK again. They did it to themselves.
I don't understand how you can take what Phil Fish says at face value, Patrick. Just his dealings with his partner over the indie game movie proves to me that he's a drama queen and that everything is everyone else's fault, not his.
Wow, the number of people seeming to be on Microsoft's side in this is crazy. Any other problem and you'd all be, "Fuck you, Micro$hit!" One indie developer doesn't want to get boned in the ass by their crazy XBLA fees and everyone switches sides? "Fuck you, indie developer guy! We love Microsoft!"
This is Bizarro World. I'll buy your game, Phil.
Again, Phil Fish knew all these rules and regulations going in. He didn't have to accept Microsoft's money to publish and advertise the game. He could have EASILY picked steam or ps3 or whatever over microsoft.
I agree, Phil shouldn´t have said that and many PC gamers will not buy his game for that reason. Me included. Still, I understand this issue. I think that if I were in that same position, I wouldn´t pay for the new patch either. It´s too much.
I agree. I don't think Phil Fish is the bad guy in all this, but he really brought this on himself. Microsoft's policy is absurd, but he's the one who signed up with them, and burned all other bridges to get there.
quoting this for truth. Phil Fish KNEW what he was getting into when he got in bed with them. He's twisting things to make himself to ALWAYS look the victim. I mean look at that stupid indie game the movie drama. He refused his partner to have a say so as to paint himself as a martyr.
Next time don't rush a patch? I mean it's that simple..Microsoft gave them the first one free, there was no need to rush it. There is a reason why microsoft has a price for patches, it's to keep developers from being lazy and just patching whatever and whenever.
It's important to note that they were given 75 million TWO YEARS AGO by rhode island. Isn't like this is over a 5 year span. They somehow managed to blow through 75 in two years.
Republique is getting close to funding? WTF. A 500k IOS app.. They only added the pc port when they saw they weren't getting the funding they wanted..what makes anyone think they can do the PC and other ports on the same original budget they were asking for initially?
