To be fair, Jonathan Blow is probably the worst dev to work with. The guy can't code. Imagine having him call you 10 times a day to ask how to do x or y with your api, I would seriously kill the guy.


Everyone should check his twitter account. He hides his non-existent capabilities in some very angry rants while other devs just don't care about anymore.

braid is a very brilliant game, the game is awesome and the creator holds its merits, he is not a randon guy speaking crap... he knows the insides of the company

Borderlands 2 is a brilliant game. Too bad we can't say the same about Alien: Colonial marines ;)

another reason to hate on indies is this jerk.

Proud leader of the anti-indie-movement!


congratulations, you just made the worst VGC post of 2013. 

Actually it was the 2nd.

The first was your's rehashing this guys BS that no one cares about anymore.

Who signs a contract they don't understand?

People that think they'll make money.  Especially desperate people who think they'll make money.  Even if they don't understand the contract, they may be wanting to sign it anyway because they think that under ideal circumstances they will walk away with a lot of money.  Even if the ideal circumstance is too ideal to happen, they are too desperate to consider what could and almost certainly will happen.  

Thats very true.

It's been a while since I've seen the documentary Indie Game but isn't Johnathan Blow supposed to be like insane?

Could come back to bite them on the arse eventually, if indies start to move into the big leagues and produce content that becomes really widely known (even more so than now) then they could find a lot of disenfranchised indie devs not putting their games out on Xbox out of spite or because they feel they'll be exploited

Not quite sure if that's how it'll work but if this is true then MS certainly don't gain anything from it
