I'm soo pissed off, you guys. Evil or Very Mad

I feel intellectually offended by this news take:

Via:

Jonathan Blow is the most famous video game developer my ass , muf'fukas()!!!

Seriously what is this BULLSHIT?

More famous than ... ?

    Shigeru Miyamoto
    John Carmack
    Will Wright
    Sid Meier
    Peter Molyneux
    Gabe Newell
    Markus "Notch" Persson
    Cevat Yerli
    ...
    and the guy who made "Tetris" (whoever that was...)


You have got to kidding me.

FUCK YOU, CBS! This is BULLSHIT!

I smite thee and Jonathan Blow with my mighty Penis-Sword. I spit on thy graves.

This is blasphemy! BLAS-PHE-MY!

I want everyone in this forum who agrees to write CBS a letter right now!

Very Happy

You'd be surprised. Most gamers these days don't know any of the people behind games. Only dicks who step out into the public with neon signs like Pitchford do. Sid Meier's not known as a developer, people know him as "the name before Civilization". Wright, Miyamoto, ORLY all aren't public enough; people have heard of them but that's about it.

I actually like indie games, say defense grid or bastion, the thing that makes me angry are those emotional wrecks that are unable to say a fucking sentence without angsty emo artsy bullshit. Especially Indie Game the Movie did immeasurable damage to the perception of the creative indie scene. :/

My personal opinion is: if he or she is either designing or developing, ... it counts as game dev.

Producers are just enablers, financial backers, decision makers, communicators, connection makers, and so on ... they don't necessary need to know about games.


Yeah well, he's credited as the Lead Designer almost everywhere. HL Wiki was the only place that also mentioned writing, producing and so on. So I guess he did quite alot for OpFor.

There was another tweet where he called it a "rape joke", and when a woman responded saying she was a rape victim and wasn't offended, he backed off like a bitch and said basically "oh I didn't really mean it..." He's just a shit head who desperately tries to be offended at everything.

not really the rape joke came from kotaku/gaf he just used it for twitter. He offends what he feels should be offended. Like so do many people. But he doesn't trash people, followers, gamers. He's eccentric, very introverted, and he does think highly of himself... but then again who wouldn't when your baby made you rich and famous over night?
