He spent so long between announcing his game's USP and actually releasing the thing - I reckon he's just sore that "Super Paper Mario", "A Shadow's Tale", and "Aya and the Cubes of Light" actually brought the gimmick to us all in the meantime.

Here is the problem with this. If you are a big indie developer and actually make a game appealing platforms like Xbox Live arcade and steam will both advertise them on front page a lot and help you sell your game. So yes I understand his steam argument. It is known for indie games and a lot of games on steam has found success. Same goes to XBLA which once again is why you see FEZ on there. Sure a lot of games gets skipped over on XBLA and Steam but most of them is because they are not unique experiences so why advertise them?

Let me ask you this. How often do you see a success on XBLA and Steam? A lot. Even steam has put out plenty of successes in the indie market. Now how often do you hear about a big success coming from nintendo and it's indie games? Im sure there is some but not anywhere near the amount of XBLA and Steam.

Now he may be a hater of nintendo, i really dont know nor do I care. I dont even like the guy or FEZ but i will say that calling steam's indie game treatment atrocious is wrong seeing as how many successes it has. Maybe people should create a good and unique experience

i start to feel bad that this guy got money from me for fez^^

he could have said something like "i think the process to release games on steam is much better as for the eshop" but almost saying "ohh it's only better because i'm special and steam threated me like that, who cares about the other indie developers" is so pathetic...

but he is right, he is special, not many people are like him or even want to be like him lol.

Lol, but he still dislikes Nintendo or at least their hardware.

So it doesn't matter to him that Nintendo has changed everything on how they do downloadable games?

Of course he hates Nintendo, they're Japanese.

If you guys ever watched the Indie Game documentry, which I have on Steam lol.... He's a fucking arrogant dick in that one too, so is Jonathan Blow. The other guys are cool though, but those 2 are seriously just arrogant fucking dicks.

He obviously can't except the fact that Nintendo recognized their error with WiiWare and has taken steps to correct it with eshop... i guess he is holding a grudge and doesn't like the progress a company makes to become "friendlier" towards developers.

iiieewww... I would return Fez to the store if I could.. I really starting to dislike this guy...

Like the game.

Hate the guy.
