Scumbag company just being fucking scumbags to be scumbags.

Or: How to commit PR suicide in two easy steps.

The fact this was called out on live stream in front of what could have been a hundred thousand people is hilarious, the fallout of this is going to be great

It won't hurt their pachinko machine sales, so who cares?

Im not even a metal gear fan, but imagine if Nintendo pulled this shit on shigeru miyamoto

RAGE!

oh boy wonder what jim fucking sterling son has to say about this.

"He is just in vacations"-Konami

[hulkgor]

I don't want to be "That guy", and i think Konami is acting like a bunch of idiots, but the vast majority of gamers don't know who Kojima is, what he did, etc... and the game sales will still be high.

So yea, i don't expect them to suffer that much... even with their recent pathetic endevours :P

This was fun though, if you missed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuCzWJ-_SK4 Easter egg!

I'm sure he already got his revenge, since he plastered his name in every free space of the game he could find. Still hilarious how they pretend he is still an employee, when he isn't.

Did Kojima bang Konami CEO's wife or something?

He just took their jobs

No, this is their company being ignorant. They want control of their IPs much like how a final fantasy is thought of as a square game they want MGS to be a konami game and not a Kojima game. They ignorantly believe by keeping him away from the game people will forget this and start associating the IP with Konami.

It's dumb, and it's not going to work. Let the man accept awards for his team you scumbags. I have been a bigger critic of Kojima on this forum then most and even I think this is a scumbag move.

Funny...I was actually considering buying MGS5, but after this shit stunt by Konami...nope!

[Blueobelisk]

Soooooo this guy "created" this game? Does he have the rights to it?

Practically yes but according some backwater copyright corporation law he doesnt. AAA games of this fame are not being made by just having money put on the table.

Konami updated their twitter bio with "We are already demons"
Possibly acknowledging this would get them in shit with the public.

I for one am happy to announce I'm 100% certain I won't be buying any Konami products in the foreseeable future, or pretty much, most likely, ever.

I bought it since i like the metal gear series but its the last one i buy. Fuxk konami. Hell the dlx content was not even in the $100 collector editions. Amazon had to email me a code.

This stunt at the reward show is bullshit. Did he fuck someones wife or daughter... Wish kojima could just take metal gear and walk. Wish the man the best.

[Seifa]

And now i will feel even worse when i'll buy Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain :S

[Eleccybubb]

That's right Konami dig yourself a deeper hole. That way no one will remember you when you are gone.

[Blade Wolf]

At this point i'm not even suprised by what Konami is doing... Which is really sad in itself.
