Going forward what games would he be able to nominate? Things for the Pachinko Category?I would not be surprised if Geoff Keighley is now blacklisted by Konami. I wouldn't expect to see any future nominations or involvement.
no. looks like the context is "that's horse shit... that konami have him locked down like that"what does this even mean? kojima is confirming that in fact he could have come if he wanted to?
What would Konami ever deserve a nomination for anyway ?I would not be surprised if Geoff Keighley is now blacklisted by Konami. I wouldn't expect to see any future nominations or involvement.
This is one of those situations where it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Keighley should have just had Kojima show up as a surprise for the award and that's it.
That is seriously fucked up. Something you don't even intially think about.
The tweet does kind of sound like they are calling the whole thing bullshit and untrue. Unfortunate phrasing I guess :/
what does this even mean? kojima is confirming that in fact he could have come if he wanted to?
The contract is almost over, the last thing Kojima needs is Konami pursuing legal action against him.
And I fully believe they're petty enough to do it.
What could Konami even realistically bring to the Game Awards anymore? They don't have any impressive console titles in their lineup for the forseeable future. With the exception of PES they've all but seemingly stopped exploring any of their IPs on consoles.
Serious or joke? Because, honestly, at this point what could the con possibly be leading up to? Kojima's suicide as part of the grand marketing for Chapter 3 or some shit?
This situation has actually become pretty strange. "He's on vacation" sounds like the type of excuse an outwardly- happy and jolly person would say about their absent neighbor who was actually murdered/held hostage by said happy-looking person.
I think he's confused as to what is "Bullshit". The way it's worded he could either be saying that:No he's just retweeting the comment. On twitter If you say something and I retweet you. It broadcasts that to ALL my followers to see. If anything Kojima is confirming that Konami blocked him.
It looks like Keighley set up a awesome situation where Kojima could meet the guy, and the work to align the stars fell apart because Konami threw a tantrum. Unforgivable Konami! The gamers never forget, look at how many people hate EA with a passion for the dev groups they destroyed, and Microsoft PC for their inaction.

And I would normally say this is making Konami's shit reputation even worse but they're far past the point of caring.
I'm still praying it's all a big joke.
This is genious. But too sad.
GOD******!!!!! Do not kill Suikoden!!!!
What about Chapter 3 tho?
No thank you Kojima for this legacy that YOU created.
This is downright personal at this point.
Makes it so much worse with the tweet about Kojimas love for Star Wars. It really seems like it was all set up for Hideo with Geoff getting Mark Hamill involved and it fell apart thanks to FuckKonami.
Really hope the folks over at Lucasfilm catch wind of this, or Hamill goes and sees Kojima anyway :3
