[Daingurse]

Hahahaha, pure fucking spite. Not even surprised at this point lol.

 

[gnexus]

Damn... such a mess.. =/

 

[Storm Raider]

Unbelievable.

 

[Skux]

You gotta stick up for your friends, and Geoff was a boss calling out Konami on their bullshit and what they did to Kojima.

Respect.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"Konami are real jerks...but don't forget to give them your money Pro Evolution Soccer and MGSV are on sale on the PlayStation Network and Steam right now!"

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Who's wife did Kojima fuck to make Konami go this hard to shut him down at every turn?

everyone.gif

 

[Jonbo298]

i thought Kojima already left Konami at this point? no?

He's still under an employment contract with Konami. I want to say it ends some time this month but I can't find source of where I read that.

 

[Kolgar]

Geoff knocking it out of the park with this show, lol.

Shame on Konami.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

Bet they weren't expecting Geoff to call them out on it, live on stage. Good on him.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Seriously, my respect for G-Pope keeps growing over time. Fuck Konami.

 

[alr1ght]

You can see it here. Don't think there's a way to link specific time.

Right after Kiefer's acceptance speech.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Free my Homie Hideo

 

[Arttemis]

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.

Allowed to? It's the truth. They can't NDA reality, and Keighley has no reason to hide anything Konami has told him.

 

[somecrazymember]

I lol'd. Why the Kojima hate at Konami? Did he have sex with Konami boss's wife or something? This is so weird and random

 

[BitStyle]

Good on Keighley for exposing this atrocity. Konami continues to amaze me with its pettiness.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

The Konami hate train goes a little too crazy sometimes but I have to say that's seriously just shitty.

 

[Arion]

I didn't mind too much when they took his name off the cover of the game. His name was still in the game, many many times. But this is unacceptable. Konami is filled with nobheads.

 

[TheKastorian]

Good for Keighly and fuck Konami.

 

[Heroman]

How very thoughtful of them.


I really can't wait until someone speaks up about what happened. Also, Fuck Konami.

It not hard to know what happen, MGSV cost to much to make and Konami wanted no more of the man who was responsible for it

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Balls of steel. God damn.

 

[GHG]

Konami are arseholes.

If I was Kojima I would be on a one man mission to take them the fuck down.

 

[Lunar15]

Konami has trapped Kojima and isn't letting him come to the show? There's only one course of action:

[iMax]

The replies to this tweet from Konami oh my god

https://twitter.com/Konami/status/672622881335971840

 

[orthodoxy1095]

What exactly could he be contractually required to return to Japan for?

 

[Angel_DvA]

Fuck Konami, it's disgusting.

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

Allowed to? It's the truth. They can't NDA reality, and Keighley has no reason to hide anything Konami has told him.

also both are close friends

 

[BakkaGames]

This is unreal. Fuck Konami.

 

[MrDaravon]

I'm legit shocked Geoff put that out that so publicly, straight ether. Fucking love it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I get the feeling Hideo is there and this is a cover. Wouldn't be the first time Geoff played along with his wwe style shenanigans.

 

[wiibomb]

Fuck you konami. FUCK YOU...

I cannot express words on how much I hated this move... to deprave a developer of receiving credit for their work, that is more than evil.

 

[AniHawk]

i kinda got the whole fallout thing between them. but it felt like it was a professional thing (with a lot of hurt feelings). this seems like it's petty and personal.

 

[mreddie]

#FucKonami. Geoff is even on Camp FucKonami, wow.

 

[CupONoodos]

And the wound keeps getting bigger and bigger. Konami should just fire their PR team because there's no coming back after this.

 

[Based Calla]

Tonight, turn your weapons to Konami!

 

[Rösti]

I feel something actual needs to be done. Opinions on the net are not going to change anything.

 

[spazchicken]

this has never been more appropriate.

LOL!

They owned Kojima. They told him he couldn't even accept his own award. I hope he never allows something like this to ever happen to him again.

 

[Anion]

My response

 

[CreeperBlocks]

FREE HIM GODDAMN IT

Kojima

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

That is really awesome that Geoff did that, fucking amazing.

 

[Mr Moose]

Fuck Konami.

 

[dottme]

Some PR guy in Konami will have a busy day tomorrow when he wakes up.

 

[secretanchitman]

That was fucking awesome. Geoff was on point and I have a ton of respect for him now. Seriously, Konami is trash for not letting Kojima come to accept his award.

 

[Hexa]

#FreeKojima

 

[RobNBanks]

Quit fooling around, Snack. Snack? SNAAAAAACK!

lmao

i expected this and i still burst out laughing

 

[Oneself]

Holycrap, Jade Raymond following the trend as well! Sorry Kiefer.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I feel something actual needs to be done. Opinions on the net are not going to change anything.

Stop buying their games, oh wait they don't give a fuck they aren't making any games anymore. What do you want, a government inquiry?

 

[Soulflarz]

Some PR guy in Konami will have a busy day tomorrow when he wakes up.

nope, he don't care, he's busy shilling for youtubers :V

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Thank you Mr. Keighley, this was necessary.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Allowed to? It's the truth. They can't NDA reality, and Keighley has no reason to hide anything Konami has told him.

They've tried to C&D people over stupider things like videos on Youtube; I could easily see Konami telling Keighley this but not expecting him to call them out on it live on stage.
