"Former Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski has urged Fez creator Phil Fish to return to the gaming industry. Fish and his Polytron studio cancelled Fez 2 and announced plans to quit the gaming industry after a Twitter spat with a journalist.   In an open letter to Fish on his blog, Bleszinski said that while the Fez creator doesn&amp;#039;t owe gaming journalists anything, he does owe a great product to the community. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t owe a damned thing to any gaming journalist,&amp;quot; writes Bleszinski.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve seen the rise of many &amp;quot;Rush Limbaughs&amp;quot; in the gaming industry, people who do videos or podcasts digging a finger into an open wound that gets the gaming community going because, hits.  &amp;quot;You DO owe a great product to your community, something I hope you&amp;#039;ll resume doing some time in the near future.  &amp;quot;The industry needs people like you to speak with their hearts before their brains because I&amp;#039;m tired of hearing the PR-approved appropriate response.   &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m tired of games that feel like they&amp;#039;ve been developed by focus groups or clueless executives going, &amp;#039;Hey, that Call of Duty is big, we need one of those! &amp;quot;Come back, Phil. We miss you already. Maybe I&amp;#039;ll be right behind you, returning with Adamantium skin.&amp;quot; The original Fez was released in April 2012 after a development period of almost five years and a number of delays. It sold over 200,000 copies in its first year on Xbox Live Arcade. Fez 2, meanwhile, was announced alongside a teaser during this year&amp;#039;s E3 gaming expo.  &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s Fez review Watch a trailer for Fez below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
