Any Japanese company ever. It's the business politics there.
Konami did literally nothing wrong
Just when Hideo thought Konami can't hurt him more, there goes Konami lmao, savage.
You're reading too negatively towards that pic related OP. Konami consists of many people and maybe not all of them dislike Kojima.
>>323573515
I agree.
>>323573487
How about any company ever? Business is a doggy dog world. If you're not sucking up to their faces and stabbing them in the back then you lose.
>>323573875
No, most companies don't go to the length the Japanese will. The Japanese will actually hurt their bottom line and lose money just to spite former employees

Hello, you seemed to have made a mistake in your post.

Inafune was the head of Capcom's vidya R&D when this was made. It was probably his idea

They'll announce a David Bowie pachinko machine by the end of the year. They'll claim it's a tribute to both Bowie and Kojima, even going as far as to say that they're deeply saddened Kojima is no longer able to work with them.

>>323575441
You're right on some points but they are not "switching" anything and there's nothing bold or risky about the move they are making. Konami is already in gambling and other ventures, and already makes the majority of their revenue from divisions outside video games.
They're just choosing to stop focusing on this one area altogether which is a significant, but not majority portion of their revenue. It sucks for people who were fans of their games but it's not the suicidal lunacy that people seem to want it to be.
>>323577231

>>323579718
not to mention that they've barely made any console games in the past few years. Most of the vidya division's money comes from mobile stuff, which they outright said they would continue to focus on. Very little has actually changed but /v/ only noticed when it started to affect Kojima.

Just think of Capcom and Inafune and how they cancelled several games he was working on even though they were 99% finished, solely to spite him. Then they made attempts to make fun of and shit on Mega Man more as even more of a "fuck you" to him. The Japanese are very petty in business.
They literally didn't let Kojima release the game the way he intended to release it and now they suck his dick.
Fucking corporate dogs.

>>323575647
Those look like fun games. What's wrong with them?
>>323574657
Fuck off he was great and proved that Mega Man fans are just a bunch of whiny babies with a victim complex.
>>323575713
Original pls, I want to see where the fuck this came from.
>>323581748
The difference is while Tim Schafer blew millions of dollars on cult classics that didn't make much money, Kojima blew millions of dollars on huge successes for the company. Every Metal Gear before 5 was successful.
Konami wants him back already

Developer called Tale of Tales had a massive twitter meltdown. They developed The Path and Sunset.
The meltdown came after Sunset was a huge commercial failure. Apparently they blame capitalism, so I guess they think game development should be state-funded.

Kojima is like that guy from Spec Ops, he brought that to himself.
>>323589330
I mean, that's pretty obviously fake anon. You should probably just take a breather and hug your anime-waifu pillow. Come back and post when you calm down.
>>323589597
That sounds like some Square Enix thing. MGSV sold over 5 million in the first month or two. It outsold MGS4 after a year in the span of two or three months while costing maybe 15% more to make.

Well then shit, this is the opposite of Tim Schafer. They fired a person that made them fucktons of money to focus on something that would make them okay money fast.
>>323589752
Poe's law, dude. That shit's real as fuck, it's just that it's so ridiculous no one would ever take it seriously.
>>323589915
I think they're actually angry that it sold so well - they would have preferred slightly disappointing but still profitable sales numbers. Konami is burning all their bridges to force a permanent focus on gambling and non-vidya, and their biggest game flopping would have justified the decision.

Who cares if MGSV was 50 million?
The money that single game made surpassed any development costs.
Konami should had gambled more.
Instead they lost an opportunity to make even more money with the MGS franchise and Silent Hill.
Mobile games/gambling business aren't going to make any money for Konami because that market is flooded with other products that are more mainstream than anything Konami can poop out.
>>323575527
It actually worries me that people believe this. The image of MGS V doesn't help either.
