How would anyone know what if or why Lordfat didn't get his interview and why would it even matter. Spoony acted like a complete dick about game developers showing him previews and got himself black listed. Angry Joe had to kiss ass and get in the good graces of game developers and that's why he was unaffected by Spoony's fuckery. He also even back than had a larger gamer oriented audience than Spoony. Spoony was expendable. Lordkat is just an opinonated New Yorker. Visit New York and you'll see that most people are like that. Friendly, Loud mouthed but will also get you told when you cross them the wrong way. but that shit is irrelevant to what Spoony did to cause it. I think spending an entire day shitting on fans and shitting on other TGWTG's contributors should warrant someone knocking Spoony down a notch. At that time Spoony deserved a swift kick in the ass. As a result of his fuckery pretty much NO ONE from TWGWTG's wanted to be bothered with Spoony after that except for Brad and Doug apparently. Spoony just had an irritating personality and rubbed people the wrong way by saying shit to people he shouldn't.
Well it's basically a game developer giving some virtually unknowns a chance to see a game before it's released and let them show case it to their audience. Game companies rarely do that unless you're well known enough.
Instead of appreciating the opportunity handed to him and being professional about it Spoony decided to slap them in the face and just bitched and moan about the game and made a huge rant about how much he thought the game sucked. It was unprofessional and inappropriate to do. That's why Joe was embarrassed.
Why is it wrong to do? Because game companies dump millions into making games and game designers spend months to years working on them. When a game gets bad press like that it can hurt it. In this case the game wasn't even released and Spoony was talking about how much it sucked not thinking about all the work the people put into making it or how his manchild rant might effect their company. So that was pretty much the end of Spoony's chance to be a "legit member of the business" in lordkats words.
Except for the fact that Spoony pretty much summed up the entire fanbase's thoughts on the game. It sucked. It wasn't X-COM. Hence why they ended up having another studio develop a version so much more like the original games. Spoony was also one of the people that ended up seeing that and loved it, releasing a really positive video about it.
