Forums - Sony - David Jaffe told gamers to Go***Yourself. Is that OK?

He can do whatever he wants. If he's willing to alienate the consumers, then he can. In my opinion, the best way to shut up the hate would be to release a kickass game, but hey, I'm not a game developer.


If only that were true. Ninja Theory released a kick ass game DMC and that most definitely didn't "shut up the hate".

(I know qulaity is subjective but since it's impossible to determine objectively, we can at least look at the reviews which were very postive)

Blind hate is called "blind" for a reason. 

Fair point. I'm just saying that in this particular instance, he should just let his work speak for himself. Haters are gonna hate no matter what, but if your product turns out to be amazing, then everyone else will see that you're in the right. And imo, that's what really matters.

The Microsoft guy resigned for saying #Dealwithit

Phil Fish is the most hated developer around for his stuff. Just his personality, but that's different somehow.

Oh, this guys is fine because

People who may not like my game? I CERTAINLY never expected that while making it!

The "Microsoft guy" resigned after effectively saying "we don't need gamers with shoddy / no internet in the install base for our upcoming platform." Phil Fish is a dickhead for a multitude of reasons (like taking Fez 2 kickstarter funds and walking away, and generally being a huge drama queen attention whore), not just because he lashes out at fans.



It's fine. They didn't respect his autoritah.

Most of his hate seems to stem from being a dick (and drama queen. I'll give you that.) I know why the person resigned.

 

I'm just saying I dont like condoning people having childish responses and thinking nobody should critisize thier work. This is supposed to be a respected industry, not Deviantart. I'm not saying that this sort of thing is always wrong (I admit I thought Ninty making Cranky Kong diss Gamespot's review of Tropical Freeze, an opinion that will probably just make people think I'm a fanboy) but this could have definitely be handleded better.

Hell yeah Jaffe, don't sugarcoat anything.



He just said outright what every other developer says to such whiny people behind the scenes.

Also, the first comment in the article where the reddit user compared it with Splatoon reeked of fanboyism.

Umm... This guy is a huge part of the game industry... From twisted metal (car combat, which still to this day doesn't really have an equal) GOW (one of the best H&S games) to now a third person shooter. I have faith in this guy. There is not many people in the game industry that have that wide of a resume. NVM that many hits is different genres. And these nobodys wants to bust his balls? I think he is in the right here.

Exactly.. He pretty much has every right to say stuff like that! Specially when the gamers he reponds to are that whiny and tedious!
