What a terrible mistake to make. Sadly the product controller itself looks really neat and useful. I hope that it still does well because frankly this guy is a scumbag but that's not the controllers fault.
Yeah... nice controller... but you can't beat a xim3 ( 1:1 translator / not a turbo controller ) + keyboard/mouse/mousepad though... ( with the latter 3 items you most likely already have )
lol.. wife beater...

Holy crap, that guy really looks like a douche. If I got "Dec 17" as an answer, without any update what so ever, followed by a reduction in price of 10$, I would've cancelled on the spot.
Don't know why, but even his final "apology" seems douchy to me. "Sorry man, I really didn't believe you ran Pax". What does that have to do with ANYTHING?
Probably means if anyone is powerful, he'd be more careful... but if not... he'll go around mouthing off people...
Yap because of morons like this, i have to go personally to fix things, and then they cry like a little babies.. So much TIME lost because of idiots like this...
Wow... I have never seen anyone so reckless like that. I mean I thought that dude who threatened to blacklist people who gave negative reviews to an obviously shitty game was way out of line. This is just mind-boggling.
Uh, i'm confused, the one you linked also has "strategy" misspelled... Assuming that's what it's supposed to say. Either way, this is hilarious (and sad) at so many different levels. It seems after the third email, he just kind of tipped over the deep end and started rambling about how old he was, and being a patronizing ass to his customer. Hope he gets fired, lol. A sound kick in the balls wouldn't go amiss, either.
His English is so lol... wtf is he saying on his twitter...
"OceanStratagy Paul “@DuncanBuchan: how is the guy who owns @OceanStratagy aloud a freaking job he cant even spell” allowed, cantoo "
"ZombiWorkshop Lucan Monks @skinnylemur - c'mon, it's not like he can even spell 'strategy' so even using twitter at all is good for him. (@OceanStratagy) "
Yes sir it is, and many of us are gamers when we're not working. I can assure you that when you come looking for a job after you're fired that your resume will be returned with a little note. "Welcome to the internet, Bitch"
I wouldn't mind Dexter killing this guy. In fact I would prefer him killing this guy over many of the serial killers on his table. Just because it's probably this kind of people that turn you into a serial killer in the first place.
"Maybe before you signed the lease papers, you could have, oh, I don't know... LOOKED AT THE APARTMENT? It's your own fault you didn't check out the apartment to listen to noise, etc. It doesn't matter if they only showed it to you 3 days before you moved in... if you had any sense, you would have waited to actually see the place before signing your lease."

But I think he's long past gotten what he deserved. Maybe he had a bad day. Maybe he's just a dbag.
Ruining the rest of his life and snickering about it is no better than what he did. But that's just me.
This wasn't just a bad day. If he had just stopped his antics after he got caught and honestly apologized I think this might be going overboard by now but he didn't. It didn't take much searching for people to find he's exhibited this behavior in the past, and after pleading for help and forgiveness he's already back at 6 hours later.
The words of someone who had done work with him the past was something along the lines of "street thug masquerading as a marketing professional". Seriously, did you take a gander at his twitter for the last 24 hours? To say he's still throwing stones might be an understatement.
He just continues to blame other people, and accuse them of bullying him. He learned absolutely nothing about the incident, he's only sorry that he was caught because he wasn't caught the first two or three or a dozen times. Even worse, the entire time since it was released, he has been using his family as an excuse for his behavior and to deflect the hatred. I have never wanted someone to be jobless more than him, including Snookie.
And as it's turning out, his friend who owns the controller company isn't much better.
Again, stating that I don't advocate what happened.
But it really does seem like a lot of people are blowing this up for whatever reason. Some for hype/traffic. Some cause they have a personal agenda against the Avenger (never got one or waited too long).

The executive editor of IGN's Gadget section doesn't need to say Paul is unprofessional to work with in order to get attention or traffic.
@ScottLowe Scott Lowe Paul Christoforo's claims that he has my and @IGN's support are UNFOUNDED. I worked with him briefly and he was completely unprofessional. 27 Dec via Twitter for iPhone
kevinkelly Kevin Kelly @ @ScottLowe @IGN Ditto for me and @g4tv
He's getting what's due. No one is even mentioning family except for him. He's the person that's bringing them into this.
