People are drowning themselves in a glass of water with this.
It's not a controversy but it's not insignificant. This is the first time, EVER, That Kojima hasn't been to this specific awards show to accept an award for his game. Odd if nothing else
Yes, why the hell would they send a public relations person to a public event. That's a fucking mystery.
"Thinking of you"
Oh come on. This is a fake controversy. Others accept awards for others all the time.
I ship them.
Why are people so sure Kojima will be at the TGA's?
Dunkley, they are already shipped.I ship them.
What if the Konami PR spokesperson was Kojima in disguise?
He's offically still employed at Konami, that's the very reason they could force him to not come. Furthermore, he is the creator and the mind behind it, regardless.I dunno, but kojipro doesn't exist anymore and it's Konami's IP... I think it's weird to accept an award for a product you are no longer affilliated with.
Though FucKonami for letting it come this far.
Is he? I thought the contract was already terminated, and he wasn't allowed to work anywhere else due to a fairly normal competetivity claus.He's offically still employed at Konami, that's the very reason they could force him to not come.

He’s still under an employment contract and it’s disappointing."
