Jeff Minter, head of Llamasoft, is apparently a bit upset about the sales of his Xbox Live Arcade title Space Giraffe. Upset enough, in fact, to post a disparaging message to his Livejournal blog, insinuating that he means to stop making games altogether.
Prompting this reaction were apparent Live Arcade statistics, revealing that in one week Frogger on XBLA outsold Space Giraffe. Minter is clearly taking the lack of his game’s success a bit hard, but we hope that he doesn’t let the sheer popularity of retro titles push him away from any future development.
Minter’s angry ranting was posted at 1:45 am, his time. In the event that he sobers up and removes the post, we’ve copied his frothy words for your perusal. Check out all the anti-retro spite after the break.
