    Misquoting someone is disingenuous. Not only are you removing the context, but you are changing the meaning.

      The original comment was the guy saying he needs a publisher or someone to give him deadlines in order to get the game out in a timely fashion. That doesn’t sound like “I don’t give a shit about the game” to me. Even if it was just an observation, if the comment was intended to allude to his mental issues, it’s still not a publisher that he needs.

        I don’t disagree. However using fake misattributed quotes is not the way to prove your point. I don’t know the history of the publisher. I am only passingly familiar with the game, more because of its success as a small indie.

        However, the person saying they need a publisher seems to have read a book on it and has more information…perhaps they do need a mental health professional from a personal point of view. Perhaps they need a publisher from a professional point of view. Work life balance helps our mental health either way, whether they seek professional help or not.

        He literally said “I give zero shits about his next game”

      No, I’m pointing out how he keeps moving goalposts and is making an argument in bad faith, for reasons that are selfish. When that is pointed out, he tries to act like he doesn’t give a shit.

      He’s being a jerk because he doesn’t get to play a game he wants released, and his answer is to slap on some authority.

      Who cares if the game is NEVER released? I don’t. He’s made his mark. He can take all the time he needs/wants.

      Videogames bring on the most demanding and impatient fans you can find. If he can’t handle pushback (which he can’t, because now he’s expecting apologies for the sin of disagreeing with him), then he isn’t the voice of reason here.

        Misrepresenting their comments doesn’t help your case.

        As an outside observer, you’re both being jerks, and you both have a point.

          I’m not misrepresented anything by pointing out the splitting of hairs.

          Why do I care if you think I’m a jerk? You hopped in on a conversation and didn’t add a single thing to it. You just showed up to point out what you think is a character flaw and not comment on the actual subject.

          You aren’t impressing anyone. Off with ya
