10 Unbelievable Reasons Why You Can't Play These Video Games
10. Creator Phil Fish Got Into A Twitter Argument With A Journalist - Fez 2
One of the landmark releases in the indie game revolution of the early 2010s, puzzle-platformer Fez was the ingenious brainchild of designer Phil Fish, who between the game's success and his appearance in the 2012 documentary Indie Game: The Movie, became an overnight poster child for indie gaming.
Fish confirmed that Fez 2 was in development during E3 2013, though fan excitement was incredibly short-lived.
A mere month later Fish got into a Twitter argument with gaming journalist Marcus Beer, and out of frustration with the industry's perceived "negativity," tweeted that Fez 2 was promptly cancelled and he was leaving games development.
Though many initially expected that Fish was speaking in the heat of the moment and would soon return to complete the game, almost eight years later Fez 2 has yet to materialise, though Fish did eventually return to the industry to work on a number of unrelated games.
While Fish perhaps didn't handle himself spectacularly well on social media, his cancellation of a game that would've been a massive commercial success for him speaks to just how frustrated he was with the state of the games industry.
