I just bought Fez. If I had known about that tweet I probably wouldn't have. What an ass. I saw Indie Game The Movie and kinda know what he went through while making Fez. At one point it looked he was gonna kill himself over that damn game. So it doesn't really surprise me that he decided to quit. Nice tags on your article lol.
