Didn't this Phil Fish dude already get mad and leave the industry at least once before?
Well... I guess technically he's not wrong, though a lot of game devs don't mind Youtube Let's Plays and such, and many of them even actively encourage it. That said, there's absolutely nothing stopping Mr. Fish from trying to claim copyright on any and all Youtube Let's Plays of his game and get all of that phat ad money funneled to him rather than to the creator of the video. Hell, if Hasbro can do it with stuff that they should legitimately have absolutely zero right to claim, then I don't see why Fish can't do it on Fez videos. I'm not saying he should do it, mind you, only that it's an option that he has. It certainly wouldn't make him look like any bigger of a dick than he is already making himself out to be, after all. Either shit or get off the pot, dude. (But then, given that he apparently already deleted his Twitter account, I guess he decided to get off the pot. Again.)
Oh, and I eagerly await Cliffy B's inevitable rush to defend this guy again.
