TrishaCat Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Is there all that much that needs to be said? On top of everything they've already done, apparently Konami disallowed Hideo Kojima from going to tonights "Video Game Awards".

Kaizy Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Doesn't he not even work for them anymore? How can they "ban" him from the ceremony if he's not even their employee anymore?Konami is just trying to commit company suicide at this point. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyfish Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The Japanese gaming industry is in such a huge plummet. There are literally only two Japanese developers I remotely trust anymore, and that is Nintendo and Platinum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they "ban" him from the ceremony if he's not even their employee anymore?Konami is just trying to commit company suicide at this point.From what I've been able to discern, he's like a kind of pseudo-employee stuck in a sort of employment limbo. It's not much of a secret at this point, but Konami's CEO really doesn't like Kojima since he's a greedy asshole. Like not just as in "he's an evil corporate exec" or something, as in he's a genuinely petty asshole whose willing to fuck over his company and its employees out of spite because of his hate for the person whose largely responsible for making the company what it (or more appropriately was) is in the first place.Chances are Kojima's still under contract and also under a kind of non-compete clause that bars him from working for other companies or from working on his own projects for a certain amount of time (probably until the end of the year). Of course Konami being Konami, probably decided to extend that to him being barred from accepting his own fucking award out of spite since Kagemasa Kozuki is a disgusting piece of shit and I would not have sex with him.#fuckkonami 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vae Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Nice to see that they're not shying away from calling Konami on their bullshit in big public events like this, and the amount of support people were showing for Kojima when Geoff mentioned he was watching the show.Get fucking dragged, Konami. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spot Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Ah, Konami, the developers responsible for some great and original titles. Also responsible for over-milked titles that make the battlefield and call of duty franchise look good.

TrishaCat Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) All garbage companies. ESPECIALLY Square Enix. This triggers me greatly. But I won't press further.Square Enix has been my favorite company for years. I stopped liking them after FFXIII's release after what everyone said but after I played them and realized I enjoyed it (along with trying out their Yoko Taro games and TWEWY), along with their increased PC support, I can't really hate them.

Lucyfish Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I'm sorry but to me, SE Japan hasn't made a good game since FF9. The only good games that SE makes all come out of their UK branch, which I prefer to call by their original name "Eidos."

But uh...nevermind that. I didn't make this thread to talk about video games. Just to complain about Konami. So sorry for bringing all that up.

Rouge Artist Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) This is my reaction to that panchinko machine stand in for Silent Hills. I was actually really excited about Silent Hills. Both the trailer and P.T. had that feeling that has been missing from horror games for so long.... then they canceled it in favor of panchinko. Konami is seriously doing a good job at burning bridges with gamers, aren't they? I'm sure they would have made a killing if they would have stayed with Silent Hills. But I guess gambling machines are more fun and profitable than a AAA horror game that we've been waiting on for years??? I mean why even keep these franchise titles around when you clearly want out of making video games.
