This man.
Because nothing concrete's come out of it yet, I'd actually completely forgotten, but I'm also not really a big Platinum guy to begin with. Can't speak for Eisenbeis.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say... he might just not have remembered that.
Kamiya sounds like a raging teenager.

Oh, did I steal glasses from Sarah something? Sorry about that.
I think I would too if this is what I have to deal with 24/7
Well now, he doesn't have to deal with these people. He chooses to.I think I would too if this is what I have to deal with 24/7
You either haven't been paying attention or you're just playing dumb. It's not about criticizing individual developers so much as it's been about trying to find a fault in Japan as a country, culture, and people. It's been about painting with extremely broad strokes and generalizing that all Japanese developers are the same or something.
Since around 2006 or 2007 or so, there's been a serious backlash against Japanese developers and games from Japan in general. Lots of "how the mighty have fallen" and "is Japan still relevant?" articles and such.
I spit out my coffee at Bam Ham City.Haha, he deserved that.

Why are people still trying to sell him on Steam and "Gabe". It's creepy.
I wish PC gamers would actually try to play some of the games they bought in the last Steam sale instead of spending the time trying evangelize PC gaming to the rest of the world.
Its kind of sad that we are at a point where we stop blaming the people being harrassing assholes and start blaming the guy defending himself on his own page. He shouldnt have to deal with assholes misquoting him and asking stupid questions all day just because he has an outlet for his thoughts. These people need to learn etiquette and common sense.The dude has noone but himself to blame for responding to all the bullshit on twitter.
Ha, I still like the angle of "stick dinosaurs in instead" even if it wasn't a crazy idea on how to improve RE.Actually that is how it went. Someone else in CAPCOM wanted a jungle adventure game with lots of animals. Mikami saw it and suggested making them dinosaurs instead.
Led to a fantastic game so can't complain.
Admittedly offense IS in the eye of the beholder. I'm not thinking much of it, but plenty of people seem offended enough, and either way it's clear he's angry and picking out words he feels has the impact he wants, so gaijin is bad.See, even Inaba acknowledges Gaijin was bad.
I don't think the Family Computer and PC Engine are what you think they are.It's so strange how Japan went from a HEAVILY PC-orientated gaming society in the early-mid 90s to it being a total albatross.

(Or this is sarcastic, but sarcastic or realistic I think it only had a dedicated fanbase even then, which likely evaporated almost entirely thanks to the aforementioned switch to Windows 95).
He didnt call all foreign people idiots. Hence the word "Some".To anyone who thinks the word "gaijin" isn't derogatory, you need to spend a few months in Japan and listen closely to what context its said under. It's ALWAYS derogatory, and the fact that he wrote it in Japanese just shows what a piece of shit coward he is. This guy is trash and if you still follow him after he blatantly showed that he thinks all non-Japanese people are 'idiots' then well, you deserve everything you get.
On another note, the way he talks is VERY reminiscent of 2ch, and anyone of you who has been there knows just how racist those posters are on a regular basis.

To be fair, Kamiya said some gaijin are fucking idiots.

The professor then offered his personal opinion: My own sense is that some foreign residents of Japan who take offense at any use of the term gaijin belong to a well-established phenomenon of foreigners (usually white men) who want to become completely Japanese (culturally, biologically, socially)cf. Pierre Loti, Madame Chrysantheme, Blackthorne in Clavells novel Shogun, or James Bond, in You Only Live Twice. For these Japanophiles, any indication that theyve not succeeded in becoming Japanese is taken as a personal insult, and I think much of the offense at the term gaijin (foreigner) stems from this anxiety they bring to the situation.
No, that's not what he said at all. In his original Japanese it said 'fucking idiot gaijin', clearly the message was directed towards his Japanese followers as if to say 'look how stupid foreigners are'. That is what he said and there is no manner of re-interpretation that will change that.

Seems to be the case.

Flame me and mock me all you want. He is a racist piece of shit. End of story.

But there are much more negative words Japanese can use for foreigners (banjin, eibei kichiku, sankokujin, etc), all of which are fortunately quite rare, and of course there are racial epithets in Japanese, of which Gai-jin is not really one.
He gets away with it because of people like the ones in this thread who willfully ignore his bigotry. If a western developer went around shouting ch*nk or n*gger there would be all hell to pay, but this guy gets a free pass just because he's Japanese.
And somehow I'M the weaboo here? Give me a break.
Clearly you don't understand racism. If i said 'you lazy spic', that would suggest I felt that way about ALL people of latin american ethnicity, not just one. Please stop defending this bigot.
You idiots who think 'posting a link from a random site' makes it true can blow it out your ass too. Ignorant trash.

I think youre missing my point. I know that the people are only harassing him because he responds. My point was that its too oftenYou miss the point, see the quote FlashbladeGAF posted? That wouldn't have happened if Kamiya just ignored the troll, but instead he answers again and again and he does it with every trolls. I don't think he's stupid, he knows those are trolls, yet he decides to feed them instead of ignoring them.
And you make it sounds like it only happens to him, every person somewhat famous is constantly trolled or attacked on twitter by
random people, it's a normal day on the internet (how many troll tweets do you think Bieber receive everyday?). If he wants to get rid of these stupid people he should just ignore them and the problem will be solved, by giving them attention he only attracts
more of them.
Dude, Jr's tend not to last long when they do this. Just simmer down a bit before ya get yourself in trouble.
