This week, we finally saw the first gameplay trailer of Return to Monkey Island<\/em>a follow-up to the first and second Monkey Island<\/em> games that’s headed up by Ron Gilbert. Much of the game’s rollout has been delightful \u2014 an apparent April Fools’ joke by Gilbert about a new Monkey Island<\/em> game turned out to be a real announcement. But there’s been some sour discourse following the new trailer, and on his personal blog, Gilbert said he wo n’t be posting about Return to Monkey Island<\/em> anymore (via Eurogamer<\/em>).<\/p>\n \u201cI’m shutting down comments,\u201d Gilbert said in a post featuring the new trailer. \u201cPeople are just being mean and I’m having to delete personal attack comments. It’s an amazing game and everyone on the team is very proud of it. Play it or don’t play it but don’t ruin it for everyone else. I won’t be posting anymore about the game. The joy of sharing has been driven from me.\u201d <\/p>\n Bang up job, everybody. <\/p>\n (I’ve seen a lot of passionate but polite\/polite-adjacent discussion going on, but the comments on Ron’s blog were a total shitshow.) pic.twitter.com\/BUBoPdU1fS<\/a><\/p>\n\n
