FEZ II Cancelled Because of the INTERNET.

Internet, sometimes you just need to SHUT UP.

Earlier this year, Phil Fish, the creator of one of the greatest indie games ever, Fez, got in a little bit of an argument via Twitter with Marcus "AnnoyedGamer" Beer, better known as the host of GameTrailers. According to an article by Sean Hollister from "The Verge":

"...Beer and Fish got into an argument after Beer called Fish a "hipster," a "tosspot," a "wanker" and a "fucking asshole" on yesterday's episode of Invisible Walls, a GameTrailers video podcast, after Fish refused to answer questions about Microsoft's decision to allow indie developers to self-publish on Xbox One. Fish then lashed out at Beer, claiming that the GameTrailers host had assassinated his character, telling Beer to "compare your life to mine and then kill yourself," and asking him to apologize on camera..."

This then resulted in the following Tweet from Fish, saying:



And then proceeded to lock his Twitter account.

So yep. The game I, along with hundreds of other people, wanted to play is now gone forever because of the stupid Internet. Thanks, Marcus Beer. You're officially on my Kill List, toping Slenderman and Gary Oak.

So what do you Gamers of the Nations think? Could there have been a better way for this to end and if you were in Phil Fish's shoes, would you have completly removed yourself from the industry or would you have found a better way to deal with it? Let me know if the Comments.

And As Always, Gamers of the Nations, RAGE ON! And I'll see you next time :)


Goodbye, Fez II. We'll miss you.
