I don't know if he really was psycho; I'm not a psychologist. But he was absolutely smarmy, and absolutely lied through his teeth about things he knew were false at the time. I'm sorry, "in over my head" is not an excuse for lying about your game in order to pump up pre-release sales. That is called fraud. He committed fraud.

I'm glad to hear he seems to regret it. I do suspect allowing some room for redemption and regret is a better strategy for reducing negative behaviors than completely writing someone off. It might have been nice if he faced actual legal consequences for his criminal fraud (alright alright I am not a lawyer), but barring that, I'll take self-correction.
