Phil Fish Quits Games - Fez 2 Cancelled

Writing that title made me a little sad, but reading all the tweets and comments levied at Phil made me even sadder, yes it is true that Phil Fish can be rather... well... outspoken at times but there is no way anyone deserves the kind of treatment he has been getting since way before Fez was even released.

But I think his shooting into the public eye so quick also has a lot to do with what has went down, not just the fact that a lot of the people tweeting about him and commenting on his companies website are massively out of line. It is a lot easier to post nothing about a situation than type the words "Suck my dick, choke on it" as a comment, which is what more than one person on the Polytron site has done. Sickening. If you don't like someone, keep your mouth shut.

This isn't to say there hasn't also been people saying positive things about and to Phil Fish, but as everyone knows it is a lot easier to listen to negative things than it is to listen to positive things.

So yes, Phil Fish has quit games, no Fez 2.

Everyone here at Fair Play wishes Phil the best in everything he goes on to do, we don't know him personally, and I have no beef with anything he has said or done. We won't be attacking anyone's character here.

The official announcement on Polytron reads as follows:

FEZ II is cancelled.
i am done.
i take the money and i run.
this is as much as i can stomach.
this is isn’t the result of any one thing, but the end of a long, bloody campaign.

you win.
