I am really having a hard time coping with the rather strict rules GBAtemp have on flaming after this thread.What is UP with all the bob-bashing? This is worse than what i would expect if someone went too a KKK forum and posted a thread about black people. SO many people have just posted completely worthless posts after taking half a glance at the page with completely unreasonable bashing of bob, or his game. Also everyone claiming he "Throws a childish tantrum and locks himself up" have none of you heard of a thing called publicity before? This is quite obviously something called, bear with me now! a "Publicity stunt" to get people to see his page, the more people who see it and the more chance of Nintendo allowing it to be created. He has never claimed that it is the best game, just that it is the biggest project any lone developer has taken on, which it without a doubt is.

I don't really know what else to do!
I'm beginning to think someone at Nintendo is insanely jealous they didn't think of it first and
wants to keep me from releasing "bob's game!"
I've got my eye on that "Reggie" guy, he's suspicious for sure!
I heard that guy beats people up and writes down their names or something.. I'm onto you, Reggie!
staying in solitary confinement like a little kid is bad for your health, it may send you to maniac depression (i made that term myself, lol)
I mean look at this... iPikachu, here is something you are going to need a lot in the future of the internet since it seems you have yet to grasp the full concept of it

I KNOW what is "sarcasm". In this situation it does not look like he's being sarcastic to me, more like he's in need of a medical ward. we have our own views so im not gonna flame.

For this reason I like to compare Bob to Pixel, maker of Cave Story.
First of all, Pixel spent about the same amount of time making that game, and it came out a hit, and he composed nearly everything himself (I recall someone mentioning that as he was making the music he was seeing what sounded good and went with it). So anyhow, it was a freeware game, up for grabs for downloads and became a hit within a small amount of time. People translated it, and the fan community even sent presents to him for making the game (an LJ community sent him a laser-etched DS with an R4 and a copy of Mother 3 for his troubles). I'd also note that Pixel barely ever flaunts his work or anything, and he was glad to make it just for the sake of letting people have fun with it. From that work, other people have heard of it and now they're developing the game for Wiiware, for a measly $10 (a PORTION of a retail game), while still keeping the original game free on the web. It took him years from the completion of his project to gain this recognition, and this guy here, Bob, wants it now?
I've lost respect for this guy now; his approach is incredibly irrational and he's in hysterics. If he had his ideals set on making a game, he should have considered the consequences behind the timeframe that he'd be working on it. Five years. He could have done something with his life and worked on it as a side-project, and not devote half his time to it. And now he's whining because his self-proclamation isn't catching so many eyes that he expected it to. It's irksome.
