clever. your post makes my OP seem attacking but whether or not he thinks games should take advantage of the gamepad or not does not excuse nor justify his words! He DID call the Wii U a late 360 which doesn't make sense anyway you look at it. All I'm saying is, yes he's entitled to his own opinion but he did troll on Nintendo a bit.

read “I’ve not worked on any Wii U version of anything (luckily)." and didn't read on. this is just ridiculous.
That is the part of the story people are going with? Really? An off hand negative comment about the Wii U...
Really it is sad how the industry works some times, but sadly not including people in the credits who aren't at the studio at ship date (usually the get a special thanks) is standard in the industry. Studios just don't keep adding people to credits as they work on them for the most part and it's usually just a list of people on the team at the end.
As for overhauling the entire UI in a month I guess that would explain the rather poor state of the UI, which feels unfinished to say the least. The long hours from what I have heard is pretty typical for crunch time on AAA games. At least he wasn't working on L.A. Noire which was on constant crunch for 3 years and 2 3rds of the people who worked on it went uncredited.
As sad as all this is, this guy seems to be disillusioned with AAA development in general, but also seems to be using the soapbox to promote his indie studio.

It will be hilariously ironic if he sings the praises of smart glass. Now let us stop giving him attention.
So it's settled. He got hired for under 90 days; got fired for incompetence, and is now bashing Wii U because they wouldn't let him touch the Wii U version of the game he worked poorly on.
It sounds like he's in line with a typical Nintendo basher; a big unemployed loser.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
