I see it as fitting exactly. All of this flack from the "it's everyone else's fault" culture is going to have a different effect on someone not from that culture. I can see it bothering him to the extent of him pulling it and taking some of the "blame" not being used to it. People from those "it's everyone else's fault" countries just blow it off as normal for that culture, stuff like that happens for example in the us all of the time.
I don't expect someone from those cultures to get it really.
Ah, I see what you are saying. Not being used to this kind of thinking he was overwhelmed by the response of users, I can see that being the case. However, I always assumed that a lot of the **** he got was some kind of "meme" or viral phenomenon for lack of a better word. Anyway, I came in contact with this whole thing after the fact and never played the game or whined to the developer myself.
