[Captain Zyrain]

Feels bad man. Will be missed.

 

[mrndkra]

The end of an era

 

[Cubas]

Will be sorely missed.

 

[Greatest Ever]

I don't believe you.

 

[HackTheSlash]

Depressing.

 

[60EffPeeEss]

Kaz Hirai revealed as Kaz Hirai, E3 2018, you read it here first

 

[AlexFlame116]

"And now, the end is near..."

 

[Surface of Me]

Itll be a dark day for gaming when they go.

 

[Peanut0423]

RIP THE GOAT

 

[Lord Azrael]

It's because he will be taking up the role as Sony's next CEO #believe

 

[rewkol]

I look forward to one last good year, and will be incredibly sad when he retires. I'm glad he's giving it a proper end, and not just fizzle out.

 

[JStein0222]

He (or she) will always be the real Kaz Hirai to me

 

[the_sun_king]

End of an era. E3 after 2018 won't be the same.

 

[BiggNife]

I have to give him a lot of credit for sticking with the bit for so long and having genuinely funny jokes instead of just regurgitating memes without proper credits like that awful fake Miyamoto account

 

[FelipeMGM]

you might just well end videogames in 2018 then

Spoiler

will miss you Fake Kaz

 

[ShadowFox08]

Does the real Kaz know about this account?

 

[Andrefpvs]

This is legitimately sad.

But then again, I'm thankful to him for all the great laughs over the years.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Always go out on a high. Truly the greatest parody account and always nailed it. The best.

 

[luulubuu]

 

[-tetsuo-]

Does the real Kaz know about this account?

Definitely

 

[Shahadan]

Kinda sad that you didn't go with the clickbait title

I'm glad he acknowledges that his jokes have been redundant for a while even if I still enjoy them. Will be missed, still.

 

[LQX]

How do we know he is not trying to fake us out?

 

[Nanashrew]

Noooooo!

Probably the only good parody account on Twitter. :C

 

[GinoFelino]

All good things must come to an end

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

If he wants to go out on a high note, he's deserved it. End of an era.

Does the real Kaz know about this account?

 

[Joqu]

Video games are dead

:'(

 

[Nicky Ali]

 

[Rellik]

Does the real Kaz know about this account?

It was on stage at his Sony conference.

 

[Samus4145]

Rubbish? So the person is from the UK?

 

[Mass Effect]

noooo ;_;

Guess he'll just go back to being a normal Gaffer (you KNOW he is).

 

[Dual Blade]

Feels bad man.

Why not try to train someone to take over? I understand not everyone is funny but maybe there is a niche comedian out there that would like the built in fanbase.

 

[katsubento]

Too bad, but best to leave on the high note.

 

[Courage]

The consistently funniest Twitter account in video games. He'll be missed when the day comes.

 

[Keyser Soze]

An announcement of an annoucment, this may be too meta

 

[CrazyHal]

Nothing last forever. You will be miss you beautiful bastard.

 

[BigEmil]

RIP Legend

Can't believe Shuhei Yoshida follows this account lol

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I hope he never reveals who he is while alive.

In fifty years I would love to have him release one last statement after passing.

 

[Rellik]

Rubbish? So the person is from the UK?

That's been obvious for a long time. But lets not start doing bs investigating into who runs it. Let the guy ride off.

 

[CSX]

End of an era.

 

[Kalor]

Real Kaz needs to pick up the slack now.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Probably the funniest parody account there is, and amazingly consistent at being funny.

As they are apparently British, this is not too surprising.

 

[cakely]

Ok, which one of you owns this account.

 

[RoKKeR]

RIP, truly legendary content.

 

[gamz]

Feels bad man.

Why not try to train someone to take over? I understand not everyone is funny but maybe there is a niche comedian out there that would like the built in fanbase.

It's like training someone to be the next George Carlin or Robin Williams. Talent like comes around once in 2-3 videogame generations. Let it go.

 

[KZXcellent]

Video Games die next year.

 

[Spade]

Such a great parody account. Sad to see it end (eventually), but glad I was around for it Hopefully E3 2018 is packed with some interesting stuff for him.

 

[BassForever]

Ripppp

 

[TheBioLover]

Sony's conference closer for E3 2018 better be revealing Fake Kaz Hirai's secret identity.

 

[Oberon]

That was a parody account??
