I agree,Nick. Phil was not great at saying things I liked or selling me on "him" but then again he was a game-maker and not a celebrity personality. Actually having been very depressed in highschool I related to some of his reactions when he was interviewed. (Like when he said he'd commit suicide if for whatever reason he could not finish Fez) I'm not implying people change their opinion of the guy. However I believe gamers should be aware that it is much more difficult & stressful to be an indie game developer when in comparison to a big-shot who has good PR and hundreds of people working under him.
