Loved Team Meat's part of the movie - you can't help but share in their success, they (especially Edward McMillen) seem like nice hardworking guys. Love their games too.

What did you think of Phil Fish's part in the film?

I took a dislike to him pretty much immediately, seems like he lost sight of why he's creating games in the first place (like he's fame hungry or something) but I imagine that's developed over a long & hard process of making his game.

Like he said himself in the film he prbably cares too much but sadly that's often over really petty things.

I found Phil Fish and Ed McMillen to be good contrasting figures. Both are undoubtedly creative and motivated, but the difference is in how they try to execute their creativity. Fish cares too much and consequently gets wrapped up in Twitter spats and lets criticisms get to him, whilst McMillen seems to tap from this childlike creative well and never really loses heart when he's making a game.
