Fez creator Phil Fish has had a hard time articulating his feelings about Nintendo. Luckily, after being accused of hating Nintendo on Twitter, the truth has come out. "the reason fez isnt on nintendo platform isnt because i don't like nintendo," he says. "it's because of the insulting way they treated indies."

So there it is, straight from the man himself. He doesn't approve of Nintendo's policies towards indie developers; a valid concern, no?

But then fellow indie developer Bertil Hörberg pointed out that Phil is releasing Fez on Steam, and that Valve's Greenlight process is far worse than Nintendo's proceedures. "i didn't have to go through greenlight," Phil replied. "im special."

Phil Fish doesn't care about other indie developers. He doesn't care about how Nintendo's or Valve's or anybody's policies affect them. He just wants special treatment. He wants Nintendo to stroke his ego, and they won't do it. I guess he can't bear the thought of being on equal footing with other indie developers like Nicalis, Renegade Kid, and WayForward.

It's fine that he wants special treatment -- at least he's honest about it. But he's not honest about the reason behind it. He claims that he won't support Nintendo's consoles because of their harmful policies towards indie developers, while he ports his game to Steam because they let him bypass their own (much worse) policies. It's not just deceitful, it's disrespectful to indie developers who have found success on Nintendo's eShop.

Maybe he's still bitter about WiiWare. If that's the case, he's letting his spite blind him to the changes that have taken place, to the current reality that Nintendo currently offers one of the most indie-friendly platforms available.

What is WRONG with this guy?

The stick is so far his ass it reached his brain.

I find his Greenlight arguement hilarious.

So on Steam, not all developers are created equal.
But on eShop, they are.

Therefore, Fez is representative of the complexities of Phil Fish's thought processes.

I don't think that Greenlight is nearly as bad as Nintendo's Wii-era policies (jump through all the hoops to get the game on the platform, and if you don't sell enough copies we're keeping all your money), but it's pretty clear that Fish just hates Nintendo and doesn't care what their current policies are.

Greenlight is a very arduous, hard proccess full of censorship and other things.

I really wanted to play some of Phil Fish's games on WiiWare, but Nintendo was determined not to let me.

Because it is not "that" unfair, (Although I don't know about Nintendo's) however, there has been several news about something going on in Greenlight. Like that erotic game who supposedly was about to be released and Valve prevent it to see the light.

Only way I ever play a game by this guy again is if he pays for the game and pays for my time to play it which is highly unlikely to happen.

This guy is ticking me off. What is wrong with him?
That kind of attitude won't get him far and I hope that is where he will go.
