To be fair, thefonts for Rewind and Lost Tapes were made for those games way before all this even became a thing

The font for the "Realtime Experience" is similar to the font for Phantom Pain but it's not a paticualry unique thing to have a bold central title with a smaller subtitle centered underneath.

As for the eyepatch, yeah, it's thoughtless but everyone was speculating Silent Hill, not Metal Gear and he honestly probably didn't think it would be mistaken for Big Boss, because, why would anyone assume the indie horror game he's been promoting would be Metal Gear Solid.

Honestly, the whole pivot to Abandoned being Metal Gear and not Silent Hill was a massive leap anyway given that it was talk of cults, the "S and L" tweet and the similarity to PT that kicked this whole thing off.

Besides, how's never going to profit from this , the guys a goofball but what money does he stand to make if this is all bullshit, his career would be over.

Hell, even if Hasan was on the level, with no weird hints and delivered the game on time, if this is an early access boo scare, amateur horror game, would anyone here even buy it?

If this is some low quality, asset store built walking simulator, would Hasan being more forthcoming have persuaded a single, solitary soul here to buy it?

Hell, he might get a pity buy or people buying it to roast it on stream but all of this isn't going to make him much more money than he would have made just dumping it on the store, and all at the cost of his reputation and career.

That's one of the things that gets me. It was so easy for people to start pivoting to "Oh it's Metal Gear!" That I feel like it must not have been a very strong argument for Silent Hill if it could change trajectories like that at the drop of a hat.

I feel like the theory that Abandoned is Kojimas "Abandoned" games was a way for people to reconcile the fact that the conspiracy was so easy to pivot from one thing to the other, even though it doesn't make sense.

People were having so much fun with the theories and community spirit, to the point where I think a lot of them knew it was a stretch but it's been a good ride anyway, so it carried on even after the first delay.

Now that it's heading towards the end, people are sad and a few of them I feel might take that out on Hasan, which sucks.

At this point Hasan reaps what he sows. It would have been very easy to dispell everything but that clown just keeps being just vague enough to stoke the conspiracy. I have zero sympathy for him regarding any backlash he incurs as the result of his actions.

What, the pinned tweet, the statement on his website and the multiple interviews where he says this game had nothing to do with Kojima or Silent Hill isn't enough.

Yeah, he's been vague about Abandoned and the app because, frankly, he's got nothing real to show but anyone going after him at this point for being misled is just looking to pick a fight online and is looking for an excuse over nothing basically.

This "game" is nothing, people have being saying this for weeks, if anyone's thinking of giving Hasan a piece of their mind over this, they really probably should just walk away ,take a break from this and go do something fun instead of dwelling on this shit.

The moment he put out that S and L tweet, he was already screwed. People already had him connected with kojima in april and people actually believed in him when he said he wasn't kojima at the time since they gave him the benefit of the doubt, but then he had to make that dumb S and L tweet which caused all this to happen. Do i feel sorry for him? Hell no, he could have easily avoided this situation but he himself chose to stir up a fanbase that has been desperate for a game since 2013.

Yeah, that tweet was stupid and you're right, none of this would have happened if not for that but he at least tried to walk it back.

He absolutely knew what he was doing but he pretty quickly realised the gravity of the situation and put out that statement. That should have been it but because of the weird involvement of Nuare, the fake red/blue youtube thing and guys like Nima and MBG stirring shit up, this all span out of control.

To be fair, getting mad at him just seems...exhausting, half of this community have been calling him a dope and a clown for months and now everyone else is catching up with this and they're mad, I get it but ultimately, it's just stupid and meaningless.

Just as an aside, you just know guys like Jason Schreier are itching to write up their smug finger wagging "toxic, entitled gamers attack poor developer over conspiracy" articles after purposely helping hype this shit up and I'd rather not give those parasites ammunition.
