Update: video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4VAzkK_Wmc

Since people are asking, this is why Konami is considered to be terrible: Report: Konami Is Treating Its Staff Like Prisoners
Here's a timeline: Why People Think Hideo Kojima Is No Longer At Konami
And this: Konami Denies Hideo Kojima Has Left, Says He's 'On Vacation'

Just said on stream. Will post a source when it becomes available.

Konami are such dicks.

MGSV won

best action adventure

and Kiefer accepted in Kojima's place, not Konami's place. Keighley also said Kojima is at home watching. Stefanie Joosten performed a song, Geoff said "this is for you Hideo. She came all the way from Japan".

Here's a source with the full quote: http://www.theverge.com/2015/12/3/9846734/hideo-kojima-metal-gear-game-awards

"Mr. Kojima had every intention of being with us tonight, but unfortunately he was informed by a lawyer representing Konami just recently that he would not be allowed to travel to tonight's award ceremony to accept any awards. He’s still under an employment contract and it’s disappointing."

Sony also going straight to Kojima instead of Konami:

Wow, I love you @geoffkeighley for publicly throwing Konami under the bus for banning @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN from #TheGameAwards. Grow up Konami.

Good on Geoff for bringing that to light. Also, goddamn Konami, twirl your mustache much?

beatdowniidx · Dec 4, 2015

this isnt going to go down well

Ingueferroque · Dec 4, 2015

Awesome of Keighley to come out and say it. Probably skirting some legal boundaries. Fuck Konami.

They didnt want him to waste his vacation time.

Phrozenflame500 · Dec 4, 2015

Wow, that was a straight up call-out.

Actually good on him

Suzushiiro · Dec 4, 2015

Mad fucking respect to Doritos Pope for straight-up saying why.

Mikey Jr. · Dec 4, 2015

Wow.

Keighley calling them out like a fucking Boss!

shiyrley · Dec 4, 2015

FUCK KONAMI.
I'm glad they just said it directly on stream instead of hiding it to not hurt Konami's image.
Seriously, fuck konami, forever

They are not part of the gaming industry anymore, they are just plain trash, useful for nothing. I don't understand what they are trying to do.

MayMay · Dec 4, 2015

Yeah, done with Konami. I can't believe this.

What the fuck.

AfroDust · Dec 4, 2015

You are fast as FUCK my friend.

DICKS AHOY · Dec 4, 2015

I find it funny Keighley was allowed to point this out live, during the awards show where everyone would hear/see it.

Konami doesn't give two shits about their public image in gaming anymore.

Ray Down · Dec 4, 2015

Are there any Fuck Konami t-shirts

Seriously fuck Konami

KINGofCRA5H · Dec 4, 2015

Aroll · Dec 4, 2015

Unbelievable. "still under contract with Konami"... "can't accept"

I just, why? Why do you want the bad PR of denying the man behind the only game at the awards with your branding on it from accepting the award? Kudos to Geoff for making this publicly known, Clearly he's as pissed off about what Konami is doing as everyone else. can't wait for the #FuckKonami update in the new Jimquisition.

TyrantGuardian · Dec 4, 2015

Jesus christ, this is insane - Geoff actually bringing it up during the show. NO REMORSE.

Xamtheking · Dec 4, 2015

This is loads of bullshit

Subaru · Dec 4, 2015

I don't like Geoff at all, but he was amazing at this moment

McDougles · Dec 4, 2015

Konami

Soulflarz · Dec 4, 2015

Gtfo Konami

Arttemis · Dec 4, 2015

They wouldn't let him accept the Playstation award reported on earlier today. Many in that thread were saying it was no big deal because he was in LA to accept this one... obviously, that's not the case.

Ridill · Dec 4, 2015

I am not entirely surprised. I figured Hideo/MGSV would win something, but was unsure how that would be handled.
