It says a lot when the ego of a game's developer overshadows the game itself; nearly everything I've seen about Fez leads to "Phil Fish is a bastard" or something similar.
Which he most certainly is, but still.
Most of the site is blissfully ignorant about the whole issue, but maybe its for the better so they can just enjoy the game for what it is. And unfortunately you're just going to have to pirate it if you don't want Phil to get any of your money.
Hey now, go watch Indie Game, he's a bit of a nutjob, but he's been through a lot to give birth to his baby, and he had some valid points, and at 3.75 he is NOT getting much after the MSFT cut.
Lets be brutally honest here, bitter or not, he was RIGHT, game patches should not cost $ 40,000 US each, after the first one, That MSFT policy was really bad, and encouraged games and ACHIEVEMENTS to go unfixed for too long. I would say he was actually instrumental to getting that policy reversed, and probably influenced the new Xbox one pro-indie setup, that strips away the heavy-handed costs to self publish a game, and you have him to thank that these indie games that you clearly love, because you still want them, can now be patched as much as needed to make them playable and completable, achievement-wise.
