Microsoft have confirmed that they offered to help Polytron with regards to patching Fez;
“Polytron and their investor, Trapdoor, made the decision not to work on an additional title update for Fez. Microsoft Studios chose to support this decision based on the belief that Polytron/Trapdoor were in the best position to determine what the acceptable quality level is for their game. While we do not disclose the cost of Title Updates, we did offer to work with Trapdoor to make sure that wasn’t a blocking issue. We remain huge fans of Fez”
So, as we all suspected, Phil Fish decided to keep the money he’d fleeced from his customers instead of using some of it to fix his broken mess of a game.
If you’re reading this Phil, I suggest buying some anti-wanker tablets with it.
So, he’s not just a piece of shit, he’s a lying piece of shit?
(comes to something when people side with Microsoft in a “Who’s the bigger wanker?” debate, isn’t it?)
What a massive, lying wanker.
What a tosser. Gives game developers a bad name. Just goes to show that “Indie” isn’t necessarily a synonym for great service.
patches ARE tens of thousands, ask creators. you dont get paid a premium to be on xbox, you pay them. even for tester xbox and things. look this shit up. their press releases are never exactly what’s happening and they threaten to pull games or sue anyone who says anything.
I did look the ‘shit’ up.
The article, at no point, makes any claims that patch prices don’t cost money.
It simply reports on the fact that Microsoft offered to help with the costs and Phil Fish declined their help.
Even if Microsoft did offer to help, they would have still been charging a lot of money. I don’t think that Microsoft would just let themselves lose that much money so easy.
>siding with microsoft ever
>believing big conglomerations are a positive thing ever
>thinking a website like this will ever be a legitimate journalism excursion instead of a 5 fit pit dug in your backyard where the writers go to jack off into and whoever is unfortunate to be suckling at the teat that is this website at the bottom of this semen coated pit now has to suck down gallons of hastily orgasmed shite that is anything written on this website
>my fucking face when
Can we use this comment as a a site tagline somewhere?
Done.
