No one ever should buy/give money to Konami, these cunts deverve nothing

They still have PES, which I bought instead of FIFA. Don't regret. And I will buy MGSV PC. Then I am done!

 

[Storm Raider]

Can you point me to where I could buy this shirt?

[RK9039]

It's all a trick guys, Chapter 3 is coming.

 

[Platinum_D]

Burn Konami you deserve all the damn hate you are currently getting

 

[Diprosalic]

They are done with games.

they are not.

 

[Dixon's Jet]

Geoff is a legend.

 

[Led_Zeppelin]

Fucking amazing. Can't wait to see what shill Konami makes up in response to this.

The best response is to say nothing and wait for the hole deal to die on its own. Coming out and talk about this will just basically trow fuel to the fire.

 

[Feichaw]

Unbelievable. I don't know what else to say. Wait, I know:

FucKonami.

 

[nynt9]

It's crazy they have that much control on him. Is this just a difference in culture or what?

Many factors. Japanese companies don't really fire people. They just send them through hell. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/17/b...pan-workers-are-sent-to-the-boredom-room.html

 

[sonicmj1]

What existing ones? Do they have any? I guess they released Silent Hill Homecoming or something. Wasn't that like 2008? Rocket Knight Adventures too

The only one that would mean anything to take down is MGSV.

If you want to protect Hideo Kojima's honor by making it more difficult for people to play his latest game, then go for it, I guess.

#fuckKonami

 

[Ganondorfo]

Please stop destroying Konami please, without them I will never get Suikoden VI

 

[piccio_ssl]

Screencap in case it gets deleted

Good on Sony for giving credit straight to Kojima.

bravo Sony

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Boss Mog]

Cool of Geoff to call out Konami like that.

 

[yanipheonu]

I appreciate Keighley basically said "this is Konami's fault and it fucking sucks" in the most diplomatic way possible.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

So glad he called Konami out on this bullshit.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Please stop destroying Konami please, without them I will never get Suikoden VI

Are you sure you still want it from them?

 

[Foffy]

So confused that Konami's own Twitter page has acknowledged these awards, but actively chose to ignore Punished Snack's comments.

Talk about living in a bubble. Then again, this was the same company that tried to give away free copies of MGSV in some famous Youtube/Twitch streams where the people running the stream told Konami reps to fuck off. They can't even give out free games because of this shit.

 

[Fried Food]

People think Konkani is going to respond to this? Lol they clearly don't give a shit about anything video games anymore. at most we get another franchise turned into a pachinko machine.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

So much for Kojima at PSX then as well.

 

[Yushi]

What I learn today:

Seriously don't fuck with Geoff friend's. You're gaming company will crash and burn.

 

[Vibranium]

Regardless of how you feel how Kojima wrote MGSV, it is clear Konami are utterly terrible to him and screwed the chance of Chapter 3. This company seriously does not seem to care much for PR. MGS would be much better off with another publisher.

 

[Crocodile]

I guess its been a while since the latest installment of "Fuck Konami News" on the Jimquisition

But seriously, Fuck Konami. None of this is smart business. None of it. You can exit the video game industry without being a raging asshole

 

[7DollarHagane]

they are not.

They make a soccer game. That's it.

 

[dity]

Working as a PR for Konami has to be the most stressful job in the industry right now.

I dunno, I'd like to be paid to shrug at my manager and abandon the keyboard.

 

[ghostjoke]

Please stop destroying Konami please, without them I will never get Suikoden VI

You are aware it will be a pachinko machine?

 

[StarStabbedMoon]

This is loads of bullshit

This image never stops being relevant.

 

[Basketball]

Konami should not be mentioned

without fuck in the front

 

[Spaghetti]

i think geoff did the right thing. Kojima's contract not even allowing him to accept an award is draconian. konami may not be done with games, but games are done with konami. their brand is poison.

@KONAMI #TEAMKOJIMA

 

[cj_iwakura]

I appreciate Keighley basically said "this is Konami's fault and it fucking sucks" in the most diplomatic way possible.

I half expected him to flip the bird.

 

[Storm Raider]

I've seen the Punished Snack photo before, but it really has hit me tonight how classic that picture is.

I'm still laughing.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

The best response is to say nothing and wait for the hole deal to die on its own. Coming out and talk about this will just basically trow fuel to the fire.

That's the thing though, I think they're gonna be man-children about this and not do the logical thing by staying quiet about it.

 

[Yagharek]

Keighley has outdone himself.

He should be known for this now instead of the dorito stuff a few years ago.

Great, classy and respectful remarks.

 

[Diablos]

Why is Konami treating their employees like shit?

 

[eyeball_kid]

Damn. Keighly with that real talk. Earned respect from me tonight for calling out Konami for the Demon Factory they've become. I mean really, whoever at Konami decided to stop Kojima from accepting his award is a five star piece of shit. Keighly didn't have to do that, and he took some professional risk in doing so. Kudos to him.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Geoff confirming that Kojima is still in Tokyo also means that they blocked him from attending the Playstation Awards to accept those. People were speculating that he didn't attend that because he was going to be at The Game Awards.

 

[Seventy70]

Why do I get the feeling that this was staged? Why is Keighly so twitchy when he says that?

 

[Fupri]

Kiefers speech + booing

Thanks.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Konami seeing all those awards for MGSV be like

 

[Kunan]

Super pathetic and petty on Konami's part.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Even if he's still under employment there, why deny him the rights to travel? That shit even allowed?

 

[dmr87]

The man has dedicated half his life to Metal Gear.

Just fuck off Konami.

 

[Diprosalic]

They make a soccer game. That's it.

no, they make plenty of games.

 

[LiK]

Even if he's still under employment there, why deny him the rights to travel? That shit even allowed?

it's fucking bizzare

 

[GuardianE]

Why do I get the feeling that this was staged? Why is Keighly so twitchy when he says that?

Because unlike everything else, it wasn't written on a cue card.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Even if he's still under employment there, why deny him the rights to travel? That shit even allowed?

Because then you have to recognize he developed the game and created the series.

 

[Durden77]

Very cool that Geoff called them out but kept it classy.

Man fuck this. This shit is horrible.

 

[el_colibri]

Why do I get the feeling that this was staged? Why is Keighly so twitchy when he says that?

He's angry and about to call out Konami so probably somewhat nervous too.
