Old news but still pretty un-cool of Konami: https://www.gamezone.com/news/konami-locked-hideo-kojima-in-a-separate-room-away-from-dev-team-for-last-six-months-of-metal-gear-solid-5-the-phantom-pain-development-3446023/
why would they do this
Two answers:
-
Konami sucks. I don’t like Kojima, but I still root for him when it comes to Konami. That company is cartoonishly stupid.
-
Afaik the new CEO was a thundercunt and told everyone to cut corners. Kojima told him to fuck off and continued implementing stuff into MGS, which in turn delayed the games launch. (If you are new to this Universe, making a good game takes time and love. This is something travellers from the Multiverse, CEOs and chimps with the Down syndrome don’t understand).
*bad CEOs
Example of a good CEO: Satoru Iwata
Bingo, we’d have better games if more bosses of game studios could act that way(s).
I was with you until the ableism. besides that it’s a good take.
No more games only Pachinko.

Yeah. Shits fucked.
I mean… I guess you could say they tried to Hideo him away, but he still Kojima’d anyways?
