...that Fez hasn't sold much better than this. Regardless of Fish's self-induced attempts at quashing the public's interest in it, Fez is actually a fairly deep, fun, and outstanding game.

I'd suggest putting this into the next Humble Indie Bundle as soon as the term of his contract with Microsoft expires :^) That'd net him quite a few additional sales he wouldn't have made otherwise, especially since it's currently restricted to the Xbox 360.
