While this is nitpicky, hasn't Kamiya at least earned enough respect to not be referred to as "The guy who made..."?
I don't feel this is nitpicky at all. This headline alone gave off a very bad impression before even reading the article.

神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya ‏@PG_kamiya
Sweet dreams, everyone & some クソ馬鹿ぼんくらガイジン
Damn. I think they finally pushed him over.
Damn. I think they finally pushed him over.
man, what does that say? guessing the japanese part is some sort of insult?
Google translate gives "stupid fucking idiot gaijin"
According to Google Translate, I would say so, yes. (won't post to avoid inaccuracies but you can check for yourself).
This isn't the first time he's said that, so that's nothing new at least.
I have a lot of respect for Kamiya and it sucks that people are such douchebags to him on Twitter all the time, but even with context, it's kind of disheartening to see him come out and say "fucking foreigners" like that.

Isn't that what most Japanese think of us, though?
Yeah, I've come to expect stupid tweets from random idiots but I actually like Kamiya. Disappointing.
"Console game development budgets are really big," he said, "so we need publishing partners to create those games. I was thinking with our own money about creating a PC title for Steam. It would give us the possibility to become a publisher, which is very attractive to me."
If you think about the console market in Japan, and compare it to the world, it's not that big," Inaba said. "So I view the PC as an area with huge potential. It would be great if we could do a Kickstarter and gather enough money for a game to be released on Steam."
Inaba says he recently visited Valve when he attended PAX Prime in Seattle. He says Valve talked about its future goals, where the company was headed, and "things that we can't really talk about, unfortunately."
Most of us humans really are stupid.to be fair, most of us foreigners really are stupid.
No. This is just what you think of all Japanese.
Seriously, are people stupid or do they not see the hypocrisy here?
Isn't that what most Japanese think of us, though? I always kind of accepted it. I suppose it is bad form to put it out there like that.
Do you believe so? I always get the feeling he get really annoyed.
And the fact that this isn't the first time a "games website" has used twitter quotes to twist the words of Platinum Games, IIRC JP had his words twisted by Kotaku(?) last time?He's probably less offended by the stupid twitter trolls, but moreso by what feels like a fucking character assassination article that essentially amounts to "oh that clueless japanese fellow".
In your hypothetical scenario, whoever asks that question to a developer instead of the producer deserves an answer like that.obviously I have a particular preference when it comes to gaming but why are people giving this guy a free pass to act like a complete dickhead? why is it such a bad idea for him to gain a better understanding of one of the major platforms in the west?
sure there are people acting like cock-jockeys now but the original question was totally legit, and his response was spectacularly ignorant. it makes no sense, and it's basically the equivalent of a western developer being asked why they don't make 3DS games and replying "fuck nintendo it's kiddie shit".

That guy's twitter https://www.twitter.com/BiggestinJapan looks like a knob fishing for hits tbh =/The damage is on insecure PC gaming pushers to make that response into "him being a complete dickhead", or for a fucking shameful article from cuntrag Kotaku to flesh out a full fictional agenda for the man.

When asked about Steam and PC gaming, Kamiya replied on character limited Twitter that he doesnt know much and PC gaming isn't for him.

Kamiya is the game design guy. He creates these ideas, his coders and team make them reality. If the more business minded head Inaba says "dudes we're going PC with this one" Kamiya will roll with it. For his personal gaming tastes he clearly just enjoys consoles a whole lot more and the ease of use they provide. Can't fault the man there. Just one display driver fuckabout for some people is one too many.
you had me until this part. let's all party like it's 1991!
I got hit by some wacky Portal 1 stuff back in the day, GFWL is a consistent menace of crashes and savefile destruction, and I remember the Kingdoms of Alamur demo was an entirely black screen for the duration of gameplay before I googled the problem. I still kept trucking, but for the comfortably console only gamer dancing with PC for the few first times, it doesn't take much and its playing pig ignorant to pretend all issues never happen anymore ever.

I don't know, but I have seen Kamiya tweet about arcade PCBs and such so he's clearly not afraid of technical mucking around to play a game.sorry, can you guys show me where kamiya said that he doesn't play pc games because of display driver issues or is franks and beans just projecting his own fearful ignorance because he has a chip on his shoulder?
I can wait.

Maybe he just doesn't want to play anything on PC. I don't either.
He is a repulsive and obnoxious most of the time. Nothing new because he thinks the world of himself so not sure why ppl are surprised.
