    After hackers exposed his passwords, financial records, social security info, and other sensitive details, Phil Fish, the creator of Fez, "quit" gaming and put his company up for sale.

    Fish recently took to Twitter as an outspoken supporter of Depression Quest developer Zoe Quinn, who, throughout the past week, was the target of a massive harassment campaign. As punishment, hackers orchestrated the release of information as a "public execution of Polytron and Phil Fish."

    Before deleting his personal Twitter account, Fish tweeted the following:

    “this is videogames. this is what i get. this is unacceptable. this is not okay. terrorist. never again, you hear me? never again. this is videogames. this is your audience. to every aspiring game developer out there: don’t. give up. it’s not worth it. nothing is worth this. give up on your dreams. they are actually nightmares. just don’t do it. RUN AWAY”
