that's fucked up, man

I think that more so than Pajitnov, he maintained a belief in communism and "Mother Russia". He was straining his big brain to try to find some kind of common ground with the capitalistic world of video game publication and it just snapped. He was probably drunk. Do we have toxicology reports?

Probably drugs.

>>6011854
Hey, at least we got El-Fish.

>>6011895
Vladimir himself invited Alexey to work in the USA.

>>6011895
Oh god shut the fuck up, stop pulling posts out of your ass.

>>6011854
Just your run of the mill schizo. But really, it was more Pajitnov who invented it, da?

>>6011962
Vladimir maintained much deeper ties to Russia though. Most of his company's employees were Russians working in Russia iirc.

>The davil.

The story about the fight for the rights of Tetris, the creation of Tetris, and the murder-suicide should be turned into a movie.

>>6012047
The problem is, by the time of murder-suicide Tetris rights were already in Alex's possession and Vladimir was out of the picture for years. But I agree, Tetris origins could make a good historical drama.

>>6011970
>stop pulling posts out of your ass.
I can assure you, I've never once stated an inaccuracy or pulled something out of my ass here. The only thing pulled out of my ass, was my physician pulling out the dragon dildo that got stuck. Luckily, he's a very tolerant and accepting doctor.

Sounds like he was possessed

You forgot to take off your name... Why are you talking to yourself on an anonymous Korean BBQ discussion forum? Mental illness.

>>6012265
No I didn't

>>6011854
The Tetri had come and taken his mind. Blocks folding deeper into black.

>>6012265
Some homophobes here have a vendetta against me, but it doesn't faze me. They need to get a life. Virgins better stay mad and remember I banged both their mom and their dads back in the 90s.

>>6012159
>not putting it 13 minutes and 49 seconds into the third film in the trilogy

I heard that Alexey Pajitnov didn't get very much money for making Tetris even though it was a huge seller across many platforms and publishers for decades.

That was true at first when he lived in the USSR and the state owned everything. After the Soviet Union fell he ended up getting the rights and setting up The Tetris Company with Henk Rogers, so I think he's making some reasonable bank now.

Meanwhile his erstwhile partner, Vladmir, was taken by demons, those Davils...

and then vladmir was the davils

>>6011854
Creator of Drowned God also killed his family.
Game dev cycles create murderers confirmed.

>>6013860
Politicians blaming video games for violence have been looking at this problem from the wrong angle all along.

>>6011854
This is what happens when you get Tetris vision for too long.

Communism happened. Better dead than red.

Surprised Carmack hasn’t ended anyone

>>6014379
He ended his 'beloved' cat for meowing.

>>6014379
Carmack actually made something people still use and talk about. Most of these other chumps didn't.

>El-Fish was created by Vladimir Pokhilko, Ph.D. and Alexey Pajitnov (the creator of Tetris), who had backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, and psychology. They were attempting to create software for INTEC (a company that they started) that would be made for "people's souls". They developed this idea, calling it "Human Software", with three rules:

>The software needs to be "aesthetically beautiful"
>The software needs to be constructive
>The software needs to bring feeling to people that they would not otherwise enjoy
>El-Fish was developed by many bright minds, most with Ph.D.s, and some had worked on high-profile projects such as the Russian space program.

Communism is one hell of a drug. No wonder eastern european games are so odd.

>>6013863
Games aren't responsible for violence. Violence is responsible for games.

>>6011854
>Vladmir Pokhilko
>"Technology company AnimaTek
In 1989, he and Pajitnov founded the 3D software technology company AnimaTek in Moscow. While attempting to create software for INTEC (a company that they started) that would be made for "people's souls", they developed the idea for El-Fish."
> people souls
what the fuck did he mean by this?

>>6014983
He was decades ahead of his time with the soul/soulless meme. He paid the ultimate price for that.

>>6014675
>>6014983
Maybe we should all "play" some El-Fish and find out for ourselves. I remember this program but nobody I knew used it as anything other than a DOS screensaver, with their own pictures as the background of they were REALLY tech savvy and had a scanner. From the Wikipedia though it says you can selectively breed them and grow randomly generated fractal plants too. That would have been a super novel mechanic at the time that somebody could have gotten super into.

Maybe Poe-kill-co developed software expanding this beyond virtual fish

You guys should close this topic. This is even not the KGB archives or chicatilo case. You young and playful, but I advise you not to dig into anymore. Noone shall find you after.

He's NOT a Tetris co-creator, merely 1 of the first people to have played it. The only other person other than Pajitnov you can call a co-creator is Vadim Gerasimov.

>Their deaths were portrayed as a Romeo and Juliet-style suicide pact, but it has emerged that Harry Horse, the acclaimed children's author and illustrator, killed his terminally ill wife in a frenzied knife attack that left her with more than 30 wounds.

>The 46-year-old then killed the couple's pets before stabbing himself 47 times and bleeding to death.

DAMN NIGGA

>>6015626
>A friend of Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov, he was the first clinical psychologist to conduct experiments using the game.[2] He played an important role in the subsequent development and marketing of the game, and a 1999 article in the Forbes magazine credited him for "co-inventing the seminal videogame Tetris"
Now that you mention it, that sounds about right. The guy was an academic of the "soft sciences" variety. He probably had very little to do with the actual game, just testing it a little. The Forbes article writer of course wanted to inflate the reputation of their interviewee. Pajitnov mightn't even have thought of him as a real friend, just an acquaintance to potentially swap ideas and discuss psychology with.

He's making tons money making new mobile Tetris games every year.

But why

Did he get anything for it during the 80s? Seems like the USSR got all of it

>>6011983
Maybe it is because russian programmers back in 90s were paid like $300-400(?) month.

>>6019689
He got like a bullshit medal and prestige... Apparently he didn't mind it so much because he was already comparatively affluent to the rest of the USSR.
