David Jaffe tells Game City to “fuck off”
David Jaffe has responded to questions on his next project from Game City in Nottingham by telling an assembled crowd to “fuck off.”
“We haven’t announced anything yet,” he said when asked if he was working on Twisted Metal for PS3.
“Now FUCK OFF.”
The missive was relayed by text message after audio failed during a remote session at the UK event.
Some questions did get answered without expletives. He’s lost interest in GTA, apparently, and if your team doesn’t end up hating you a bit by the end of a project you’re probably not doing your job right.

“More on .”?
And I officially love Jaffe now, people who tend to crowd around like that are sheep, and they need to be told to fuck off more often.
At least he’s not trying to pretend be a Friend to the People, playing at dirty PR tactics, or sniping at the competition with snide comments. I respect him for that.
It’s an odd World these days, for me. I’ll respect a business-man more for telling people to fuck off than trying to befriend them.
Also: Encore!
I’m probably not a model customer, as my point of view probably isn’t going to make them many profits with the more Everyday person.

Hmm. Headline isn’t quite the same as the story now is it?
Besides, I’ve witnessed content creators telling their audience to “fuck off” once or twice. Hell, it’s even happened at VG247 when a raw nerve has got touched.
Right pat?
Still gamers tell developers to fuck off (or worse) all the time. Nice to see a developer give as good as he gets.
