Oh. Well. OK. I guess.

I don't see why he needs to comment on an unconfirmed statement that may or may not have been spoken by a Nintendo Europe employee. I mean, that quote is really suspect, mainly through the use of "otaku."

And either way, what's Jaffe's goal here? To prove that even an idiotic forum fanboy can become a game developer? We already know that, look at John Romero!

He's still getting over having to apologize for flaming Miyamoto that time.

You're still not over that? Jaffe was asked a loaded question that basically implied that Miyamoto thought games involving cars and weapons were crap (more specifically, weapons ON cars). And his response was more comedic than insulting.

He apologized. If he was completely innocent, I doubt he woulda done that.

Anyway, Jaffe is, imo, a mediocre, over-rated developer as well, which is only one amongst the many reasons I hate the man. All you have to do is listen to him talk for 5 minutes IRL and you would hate him too, trust me. Jaffe just comes off like such an elitist douche, besides being an admitted Sony fanboy. You know how the gamestop guys talk to you? It's like that, except he doesn't try to hide his pretentiousness.

On the internet, it's easy to like the A-hole, because you don't exactly have to invest any time in hanging around him. However, IRL, he would be the guy that you had to keep parties secret from so he wouldn't show up and ruin it for everybody.

 

So love him, for all I care, but don't ask me to do the same.
