Comment on Fez, a nifty platformer with heart

It’s nearly 10 years ago, so I’m not sure anymore how it went exactly, but what I remember:

Phil Fish was an active part of an online forum for indie developer. His personality was brash/rude/unfiltered, however you want to call it, meaning his answers were right, but he also made fun of the people who did the mistake. After becoming famous, more people learned of that and said: you are famous now, you should behave better and not be rude to other small developers. At least that is what I heard from the outside, I never saw any of the actual messages. Knowing how people can act in private internet messages though, maybe the stuff he got was also not correct, I don’t know that part.

But as far as I know, he felt that he got shit just for being famous now. Since he didn’t change his behaviour! He was like that, even before he published Fez, so his resolution was: don’t publish stuff, since then people don’t care how rude you are.
