Kojima goes overbudget on every mgs game and he is an auteur . Based Schaeffer goes overbudget on broken age and he is a devil.

Kojima can be held accountable.
Fat Faggot can not.

It's almost like people get more upset when they pay you upfront with their own money and you can't do a good job.
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.
Because Schaeffer has just abandoned games, even after people payed money for them (i.e. Spacebase DF-9). Accepting money in advance gives you the opportunity to just ditch something it it's too much work
Kojima already had concept art drawn, storyboards in place, and cutscenes 40% finished before Konami pulled the plug.
Kojima didn't abandon the project, his publisher did. Without good reason, too.
Schaeffer just outright abandoned some of his projects because he got bored with them, and he already collected the sheckels
Escapist guys are fags.
Post white korra porn.
The whole debacle with Brutal Legend had everyone supporting Schaffer because of their overblown love of Psychonauts and their hatred of Activision, the situation is the same for Kojima, people take his side because they hate Konami and love Metal Gear
I'm not saying their exactly the same but now that gamers had experienced first hand on what it's like to fund Schaffer, they see what a fucking cunt he is and the same could go for Kojima if he acted the same after getting a successful crowdfunding campaign
With a Kickstarter, you're paying for something that hasn't been made yet and don't know if it's good or not. Bigger buyers remorse if it turns out shit.

It wasn't just for psychonauts, but yes, that isn't exactly wrong. That's why everyone wanted to see schaffer do a game without "being held down". It's such an easy way to spin it. However, in the Kojima situation, most people didn't hate Konami beforehand, so it's not really in the same boat. Most people were indifferent, unlike the hatred activision (rightfully so) received before brutal legend happened.

That's also a big factor. But Schaffer, in his current situation, isn't beholden to anyone whatsoever. He can just take that money, deliver a subpar product and move on. Which he did.
Kojima can go over budget on one of the bigger video game franchises around, on every title, and eventually be let go for it when the company decides it doesn't feel like being invested that much into video games. Which he did (get let go, that is).
In the end it's not even a huge deal. He's not gone forever. He's probably going to keep making stuff, either at another company or by himself at this point. Or make something besides video games.

>most people didn't hate Konami beforehand
I can tell you right now, plenty of people who loved other Konami franchises than MGS hated Konami with a passion, MGSV and Silent Hills were Konami's last chances to redeem themselves and they pissed those away
>>319911503
>It's almost like people have been putting themselves in a publisher's shoes
>>319911051
Kojima didn't make MGSV on my dime now did he?

>everyone freaks out over the kojima productions thing
>the DDR team got this same exact treatment years back and nobody even batted an eye
>Kojima blows Konami's money
>gets fired
>Schafer blows backer's money
>acts like a complete fool, starts more kickstarters
It's because I'm not seeing any returns on the game.
In the case of MGSV, the game could've got an extension of time and an increase to the budget and still made fucking tons of money, since the game sold like hotcakes.
With Broken Age, all the copies that anyone really gave a shit about were already sold, and when the backers, who were promised a certain date, and promised the game would be complete with a certain budget, are now told that the game needs MORE money and MORE time despite obtaining WAY more money than the game even imagined, of fucking course we're going to be upset.

>implying schaeffer isnt a money squandering retard
nobody needs to base their video game company in sf
Experience
>>319913484
publishers get a return on their investment
we get a half baked shitty game
>>319913447
But we're not talking about specific people. Everyone hated activision. Everyone. Even if you didn't touch a single franchise they owned. Nobody liked them. Bobby was Satan.
This is different from Konami. Obviously they betrayed a lot of their established fanbases, but most people didn't give too much of a shit about them outside of those fanbases. Pretending it was on the same level of activision is a pretty dishonest way to look at the past.
>>319911051
Schaffer sucks though
>Kojima goes overbudget
>Creates a massive game with an entirely new engine
>Schafer goes overbudget
>makes a tiny game that isn't complete and then begs for more money
You'd have to be retarded to not see the difference
>>319915461
Although I wish MGSV had handled the story better, at least we still got a good game that I would consider for GOTY.

It's not even a thing outside of asia
The difference is that the person in panel A has to explain himself to the publisher, who is backing the game. The general public couldn't give a shit.
The person in panel B has to explain himself to the public, who are backing the game.
Kojima's track record is one of constant success. Even the games he's made that people don't like as much were successful.
Schaffer made a few decent games, many of which are way the fuck overblown. He then begged for money, got more than he asked for, literally made a video where he wipes his ass with it, and then still needed more money. When was the last time Schaffer made anything that could even get in the running for GOTY. Even Psychonauts, which everyone seems to think was so incredible, was what? 9 years ago?
