Scathing Nikkei Report Hints At Shameful Treatment Of Staff By Dictatorial Konami Management
Konami out here enslaving staff Karl Marx would not be happy

"Elsewhere in the report, working conditions at Konami have been reported as particularly harsh. Email exchanges with people outside of the company are handled via randomised email accounts, and lunchtime breaks are regulated with punch-cards to ensure staff are back at their desks at the allotted time. Those who run over are allegedly outed within the company.

More worrying is the news that employees who are seen as under-performing have been used in other areas of Konami's business empire, such as cleaning its line of leisure and fitness centres or standing in as security guards. This apparently isn't limited to lowly programmers, but has also been the fate of producers and senior development staff."

They about to fold once Kojima bounces.

I agree, I mean 80 million dollars?

MGS5 doesnt have that much of a solid fanbase to begin with

The game is not gonna flop because of Kojima, it's gonna flop because of the bosses who run Konami trying to milk the shyt dry...

Yeah we have a thread on that. Also, America isn't getting the full size limited edition of MGSVTPP. Japan gets a life size arm and we get a paper weight version of snakes bionic arm.

Maybe get the tissues ready as this Metal Gear Solid 5 Debriefing video from Hideo Kojima is an emotional rollercoaster. The first bit is a bit of a Kojima love-in with interviews from his co-workers but a visit to the family of an MGS fan who passed away is a reflective and heartfelt experience.

Kojima's farewell to the game in the final moments of the video and apology for it taking so long is beautifully put and, yes, that lump in your throat is very much ok.
Watch Hideo Kojima's emotional farewell to Metal Gear. Expect tears...
