According to the report of Video game chronicleGilbert said on his personal blog (the entire blog is now closed) that “the joy of sharing comes from me”, and this is not the first time that the developer has been forced to defend the game after the user. fan. backlash.
“I’m turning off comments. People are mean and I have to delete personally offensive comments,” Gilbert said. “It’s a great game and everyone on the team is so proud of it. Play it or don’t play it but don’t ruin it for others. I won’t be posting about the game anymore. Fun to be share got kicked out of me.”
Keep trying, everyone.

Gilbert and developer Terrible Toybox have received much criticism for the game’s art style, which fans have criticized for being inconsistent with the original game that was released more than 30 years ago.
Gilbert said before that “Back to Monkey Island may not be the art style you want or expect but it’s the art style I want.” He said the point of the game was to never have pixel art but instead use technology and modern art to push the franchise forward, claiming that, even if he He tried to make Monkey Island 3, it won’t be like the previous games.
The game was first revealed in April and is cComing to PC and Nintendo Switch later this year, with other consoles currently unconfirmed. Although it is not particularly clear what this means, The game’s website states Return to Monkey Island will be “an exciting ending to the Monkey Island series.”
