Age hasn't slowed you down one bit

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
  
  I was with you until the ableism. besides that it's a good take.
  
  No more games only Pachinko.
- Mofo keeps adding shit that isn't in the budget probably.
  At some point the people funding the project have to deliver a product, and if Kojima keeps the title in development hell there won't be a product.
  
  You talking about the same kojima that delivered endless hits to the company over three decades?
  
  Then how do you explain this:
  "Keighley went on to detail how shocked he was when he found out that Konami didn't allow Kojima to attend last year's Game Awards." (a quote from the article)
  
  You'd have made a good point if everything he touched didn't turn to gold. Something something goose that lays the golden eggs.
  
  Then how do you explain Kojima's success with Death Stranding where he was basically free to do whatever he want with no one stopping him?
Yeah. Shits fucked.
I mean... I guess you could say they tried to Hideo him away, but he still Kojima'd anyways?
