He was just offering a truthful perspective let's be real game shows aren't just broadcasted for core gamers they are also for a much wider generic audience

How well would they maintain viewership if they're covering quarrels behind the scene? This is human nature, the audience i promise you does not want to get involved in dog piling or having the excitement for a game award broken. It's essentially like throwing the audience between keighly and konami and going AIMIRITE

That is the perspective behing offered I think and there's a good amount of validity there

Apologies if I'm off but just what I read from the two of you

Have you been to a game site lately?

It's our bread and butter, love us some controversy. It certainly takes the flow out of an awards show to spotlight it and does come off a bit awkward, but I'd rather Geoff call them out like that in such a public venue that he knows is being watched by many to spotlight just what a crummy company Konami is and how they treat their people. I'm practically salivating at the possibility of an expose piece done by someone to rip them a new asshole even further. They wanna make their exit from gaming look like this? Fine, their funeral I say.

With shit like this, it really makes you wonder exactly what happened between Kojima and Konami. Guess we'll never know. Until one of them opens up....i guess.

Time to get Kojima drunk at a karaoke bar! Who wants to take a trip to Japan with me?

I have a feeling MGSV was over the Budget than originally planned (hence why we don't have the last mission of the game) and Konami's Head Guy went nuts and disbanded Kojima's Studio and cancelled any remaining projects Kojima had going like P.T. Unless more stuff comes to light over the next few months. It could be either that or something more serious, we may never know

Honestly think it was a power struggle between Kojima and the Konami execs that want to steer away from AAA games and towards their other profitable ventures. Taking 2-3 years and pouring millions for one game might feel risky to these execs (hell I feel it's risky).

He should sneak into the auditorium in a cardboard box

Can't wait for this Monday's FucKonami news!

HIT THE LEVER

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Can't wait till this is all done and over and we can move on to his next, new project that's on his own terms.

This really messy separation, and gravely disappointing, awful game are overdue to being an ordeal that are past and done with.

Konami security would fire on sight.

I completely disagree. There's no set thing that award show is supposed to do or not do other than garner ratings, and viewership would actually be well-maintained if there is controversy to be had. People are attracted to controversy. They want to observe controversial things happening. That is the human nature at play here.

Also, for those making the argument that this isn't the time or place, I find very little that is persuasive in defining what the right time or place is for most things. In the context of an award show, it's only right or wrong based on whether it impacts ratings, in my opinion.

[Edited]
Yahoo Japan posted a news on their front page.

S Rank, Fox Emblem. 😂😂😂

You would have gotten Foxhound but that requires no kills and I'm pretty sure you just slayed everyone with that comment.

Wasn't there a fire at a Konami building a few months ago? What ever came of that?

I heard it wasn't smoke and was just steam coming out of the vents.
