This man has gone too far. His reign of terror must end. Justice must be served.

It's too late, he already hollowed out the company.
The bridges have been burned, the staff have been dismantled and the pachinko machines have been bought.
It's already too late. At this point just hope decent companies get the IPs when they finally leave the market.

Yeah a change.org petition will get this guy out of Konami, cmon guys we got this.
i've long since buried konami in my mind
now I just want to see how far they'll go
So can we just murder the man already?
>petition to remove CEO
lol
Konami isn't going anywhere. I get hard when I see people saying they're doomed on other social media. I didn't think most of you would be that retarded. Maybe this is an "ironic" thread.
At the very least I would like to see them sell of their properties or spin off their game division into a new company.
They won't get rid of a guy that is making them money hand over fist, that's just fucking dumb.

It actually will work, it's similar to how in the US a president can be impeached if enough people want it, this is similar with online petitions trying to get someone out of a company office or ceo in this case, it'll take a good couple million sure, but if it did get that many, he would have to step down. Granted it won't get that far, but just saying.

>Hur dur Snake in Smash
>Hideo is god, u cannot touch him!
>B-but Kojima!
Please tell this its not for real. I can't believe that there's someone THIS stupid
Konami was always like this, just because Kojimafags are butthurts it won't change how Konami is. Just remember Silent Team or Goemon and Contra creators situation when Konami refused to give budget his games because all the resources were send to Kojima and cia, then they have to reused a lot of old stuff to made Goemon DS and Goemon PS3 become a fucking pachinko in 2009

>a japanese company is going to remove its ceo because of a change.org petition
Didn't I hear a few months back that you literally can't get fired from a job in Japan and they resort to annoy the shit out of you until you quit on your own?

Anyone named Hideki can't be trusted.

Despite everything I can't bring myself to hate konami, they brought me life force, contra and gradius which were all staples of my childhood.
Nah, just hire some yakuza to convince him to give their IP to someone who'll do some good with them.
Split them between Nintendo and some other third party company that'll do some good with them.
if anything you should make the petition something more realistic, like selling IPs to companies that will actually do something with them.

Stopped reading there.

Why would Japs give a fuck about your gaijin petition? Specifically a company that is dropping out of video games to focus on Pachinko machines, a machine that is pretty much only used in Japan.

This will never work. Ever. Konami is finally what he wanted it to be. The worst part is that he will NEVER give up or lease out properties. Konami is on the cusp of making 80billion dollars off of their Vegas deal.
>>320587825
You can be fired, but there has to be a reason for it. All they try to do is get you to give up and quit. "Hey! You composed all that lovely Castlevania music! You're new job is head of security on the night shift! We better not even hear you whistling a tune."
This is a common practice all over the world, but Japan seems to take it to another level. Konami is especially scummy.

Corporations aren't democratic systems and they aren't obliged to alter their internal affairs or structure according to the whims of a few twats beyond the scope of the company's current target market whining on the internet. The only way it'd work is if enough people boycotted Konami products to the point where they were having genuine difficulty making a profit, but good luck with pulling that off.

"Oh look, people on the Internet don't like me, guess I'll just have to sell the company I own now, okay"
Why the fuck would he do that? It's his company, he can do whatever the fuck he wants
>>320586624
Without knowing anything about him, without any stonecold facts you want to ruin somebodies life?
Nuh-uh.
>>320588961
Source for the game sales breaking even?
So was Kojima the straw that broke the camel's back or did no one care about Konami's shit decisions until this happened?
>>320586624
Kojima got cucked so fucking hard by Konami.
