I'd never heard of Phil Fish before; I'm not part of that subculture.
I found it a fascinating analysis of fame, social behavior and expectations, and how the internet affects these things.
I was actually just about to post this, you beat me to the punch! lol. I am actually in the indie game online community (as a consumer of content, not as a developer or youtuber). Phil Fish is, in fact, a quasi-egotist with divisive opinions and a headstrong attitude. In many circles, and at close glances, that is often considered to be "assholish". But I agree with this video, in that anything that is Inflammatory becomes an earth-shattering headline, while anything that he does that is positive (such as his tweet a while back of #yesallwomen) is totally ignored. we are creating the stereotype we want to exist. At the end of the day, I think most of what he says (if we don't want to engage in a larger, broader conversation that is difficult on social media) should be taken in the way that Phil himself seems to suggest - From his Twitter Decription: "OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD"
I haven't followed any of the controversy with this guy (I didn't know his name before seeing this), but I feel like the video was kind of underplaying his talents. Basically it said that he randomly stumbled into success with Fez because the pixel art was good, and the game could be compressed well? Uh, Fez is a fantastic game, with a novel concept executed flawlessly. It's much more than just a nice looking game. Apart from that, I enjoyed the video, and it was completely on the mark.
