There is, of course, a lot of crap that rises out of this thread. The most obvious is that Jaffe is willing to significantly exaggerate a story if it serves his purposes. In the original story, the caller is an aggressive douche who won't take no for an answer and insists on going on and on about how the unreleased Twisted Metal could be better (and since they can't have played the game, it makes them look like even more of a jerk).
In the new version, it's an unassuming e-mail. An e-mail can be ignored, deleted, blocked . . . there's nothing overtly offensive about just receiving one, even if it has suggestions for the game, AND even if you receive it as a member of your family is dying. Nevertheless, in his new story he is still somehow offended by it.
It gets worse though when you really think about it. I don't have Jaffe's e-mail. Do you? It's not something that can just be looked up, and I'm willing to bet it's not something that he will just give to you if you ask for it. So IF it's true that there was an e-mail, then it's almost certainly true that Jaffe gave it to this person in order to give him feedback.
IF he gave it to him though, then why the hell would he be surprised and/or upset if he suddenly received an e-mail? He ssure as hell shouldn't be unless they're calling him "bitch momma" in the e-mail. He ought to be expecting an e-mail.
Based on these changes though, there's really no reason to even believe the new e-mail story. It just doesn't add up, and since the story has already had a significant change all of the details are suspect.
I'm starting to wonder if what he really did was take all of the Twisted Metal fan correspondence over the years that he now finds annoying, and channeled it all into a daydream where we're one big bastard who calls him and annoys him as his dad was dying. Seems plausible.
What's really frustrating is his perception of the fanbase. I've seen for many franchises when fans get upset they say cruel things to the developers. They harass them. They make death threats. We waited over ten whole years for a worthy sequel only to get a glitched out, buggy, and watered down piece of shit. We didn't trash him or his team though. We argued with each other, and then went back to our lives and playing the old games.
In return he ran our names through the mud, permanently wrote us off, and now makes up bullshit about us being abusive assholes when someone's Dad is dying.
Real classy.
