The infamous president of Silicon Knights, Denis Dyack, has been courting controversy for a while, ever since his first temper tantrum over Too Human. He's blamed everyone and everything for his upcoming game's failings, sued Epic, and placed bets with NeoGAF forum members. Is he controversial? We can think of a few other C-words to describe him (kidding, Mr. Dyack, sir).
"I've been told that I'm controversial so often, I guess it’s true," Dyack has stated, with what one can only assume was a smug air of faux nonchalance. "'Outspoken,' 'provocative' … people come up and they say that quite often. It's not an intention of mine but it seems to be the case."
"... There’s a lot of potential negatives that come with speaking out. 'Saying it like it is,' I think, can be very, very difficult."
Dyack compared what he does to seeing a mugger attacking someone and not turning away, claiming: "I guess I'm one of those people that cannot help not getting involved. I'll get involved and I'll do something ... Maybe I'll get shot one day. But if it’s the right thing to do, then I try to do that, and I guess that’s how I get coined as a controversial figure."
It's commendable to see a man take a stand, but there's the right way of doing so, and the wrong way of doing so. Mr. Dyack -- YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Too late, Mr. Dyack. You shot yourself in the foot months ago.
No, you'll be coined as the guy who worked on a game for nine years only for that game to be a piece of garbage.
I can see a new Dtoid contest appearing very soon. Personally I see him as more of a cuntroversial figure.

Hold that thought. I'm going to go masturbate to a picture of Phoenix Gamma. Aw yea.
Don't mug an old lady in front of Denis Dyack because he will fuck my shit up.
I commend his attempts at social internet reform, but they're just way too high concept for the Gaf trolls.
(For reference, see here.
we've all met, worked with or even dated their kind at one point in our lives...people who talk like they possess the knowledge of one who's lived for hundreds of years and has traveled to all four corners of the globe and, of course, is never wrong.
we call them 'gasbags' and (thanks to TV) their numbers will only increase...
"... dyack's an arrogant, smug narcissist who's in love with the souind of his own voice..."
You've just described pretty much everyone on the internet.
because you programmed them to?
Yeah, but Gears doesn't suck like Too Human does.
No, it sucks in it's own, unique way.
It's perfect. I mean it's like he copied it from an actual episode of the show.
