If that was directed towards my comment than no, opinions aren't divided. We want to wish Ancel a Happy Birthday, not spam him with comments about Rayman 4.

No, mate, I just noticed that you're getting really angry when we speaking about it.
We just joking. No one will do such a things. I think it's clear.

@Ubi-Mya just wanted to know if we should sent the gifts via PM to you, so you could directly give them to him?

Well, I'm going to try for a heartfelt message. Hopefully Mya will drop by and see it. I'll PM it to be doubly sure.
First and foremost, happy cakeday Michel! Hope the cake is sweet, and the party even sweeter!

I remember when I first got the PlayStation, I played titles based off things like Spider-Man, or Formula 1 racing, but then I played Rayman. The first game which wasn't based off something from another form of media, a game series that started off as a game. Rayman 1 was brutally difficult, but it presented the foundations through which I've played games for years to come. I remember playing through it, sharing the controller with my siblings to beat a level. I distinctly remember figuring things out, like how you could shoot the crystals in the Jano chase in Rayman 2, and feeling very smart about it. The Rayman series is a series through which turned gaming from a pastime, into a hobby.

The worlds created in the Rayman series have been with me ever since I inserted the disc for that first time. And while I'm raving mostly about Rayman here, I've enjoyed your work as a whole and continue to do so.

I'd like to say thanks for being at the helm of so many great gaming experiences, and for making me fall in love with video games

I would like to thank Michel Ancel for creating my childhood, and the only game that's stuck with me my whole life, ever since birth.

My humble apologies, but my gift art for Ancel may be a tad late seein as WonderCon has come and went, my college schedule, and there's no internet at my house right now (I'm using my mobile data).

But I wish Ancel a very happy birthday and for many more to come afterwards.

Happy Birthday for Michel, childhood definer extraordinare! :D
The guy who showed me that video games are not just about pushing buttons and getting scores.
The guy who made me stop in the middle of a level just to stare at the ambience let it be staring at the upcoming dawn on the horizon, the city of an extraterrestrial Venice or a mysterious magical forest. :yeah:

Happy birthday Michel. I haven't forgotten how much of an impact you have made on my love for videogames. Still hoping for BG&E2! (In the meantime I should really get around to replaying the first title.)
