Foszor Fights Brain Cancer organized by The Isle

[.]

"It is often difficult to find the right tone to address something that can be a hugely sobering experience. Sometimes you can't even make a subject funny; you just have to eat ♥♥♥♥ and get through it.

As a team, we work very hard together across multiple datelines, in multiple nations, to coordinate and build the game we love to share with all of you. And as some of you may very well know, our lead programmer Foszor has been fighting brain cancer and this has given him less time to be here with us working on a project he loves dearly. As a team and family, we take care of our own and have already reassured him that he always has a place here. Despite this knowledge, he is pushing himself to work while he undergoes treatments and fighting through their very brutal side effects.

After some consultation with both Foszor and his wife, internally our team would like to take this opportunity to raise both awareness and support for him, his family, and the two foundations that have been working with them.

The Darren Daulton Foundation and the Glenn Garcelon foundation have been instrumental in helping their family weather the absolutely exorbitant costs around this level of treatment here in the states in addition to our own contributions to help offset those costs.

We invite our community to join us in rallying around Foszor and these two foundations so that he and they may continue to do amazing things for others in need.

The Isle will be contributing $10,000 towards the newly started gofundme for Foszor in addition to the support we have already pledged to him and his wife. The team also encourages contributions to both of these foundations. If you would like to follow in our footsteps, you can find the contribution links to the GoFundMe, Darren Daulton Foundation, and Glenn Garcelon Foundation below." - Dondi's announcement

you obviously have not seen someone you care about coughing up their own ♥♥♥♥ out their mouth. You could have just said nothing but you had to have a moan about a cheap £15 game. One day you will understand

Speak for yourself.

Why is it always the braindead troglodytes that try and act like their stupid opinions are more than just that? Only you think this way, muppet.

Also, just gonna point out that the Isle devs have actually done more than most devs would do with this game involving the recode.

If a game was left in a broken state after dev drama like The Isle did, most devs (AAA or indie) would just throw their hands up and say "well, you win some you lose some" and cancel the whole project.


Instead, they hunkered down for a year and basically remade the game. Yeah, the lack of communication for the longest time on top of the length of time it's taking to get this done wasn't handled the greatest...but at least they're actually putting effort into the game still.

What's ironic is you're here talking ♥♥♥♥ about them continuing to work on the game...when you'd be whining just as much (if not more) if they just canned it.

Not to mention this guy is suffering, literally suffering, from this cancer, and yet he is still trying to work on the game. And why is he doing this? For the players. He doesn't even have to work on it at all, he's got a perfectly good reason not to, but he is anyways. People these days really just have no gratitude for people who work hard to produce something for them to enjoy. It makes me sad.

Do you just, like, not feel any amount of empathy? For him or his family? This guy is fighting a disease that has killed thousands. Every person probably knows someone (not always personally) who has died from or had cancer. And you say, "No one cares we just care about the game." and "Get over it." That's honestly messed up. You realize that a lack of empathy isn't a good sign for you, as is showing contempt for the suffering of others rather than empathy. Have a heart you jerk. I think a human being suffering from a highly deadly and dangerous disease merits more money than a game.
