It was a missed opportunity for Konami, though it's a great idea for a publicity stunt. Attract attention making it seem like you're unreasonably restricting an artist from attending an award show (or other media event), and then they make a surprise entrance!
+SHAKEAL AHMED I really imagine the top-executives at Konami being complete, mentally insane or something. Seriously, even if Japanese people are noticeably different culturally and I don't always get the way they do things, even for japanese people this is fucking insane. Not trying to be xenobope. I love Japan, play many Japanese games and I wanna go there someday, but sometimes I just don't get them, but Konami is just pure insanity at this point.
+Linkenski I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, but I hear that older Japanese business men are incredibly stubborn due to how they're used to doing business.
+Linkenski Well if we are to believe anything from our anonymous sources that were ex-Konami employees (in which we will) they've said the new CEO of Konami is indeed bat-shit insane (literally those exact words), they also went on to say there have been several personal business feud's between Konami's new CEO and Kojima in the past and that there was definitely animosity between the two. So Kojima being barred is due to a personal reason from someone who is just being petty and arrogant instead of being professional and being a good sport that Kojima was able to make all of Konami's money back on MGSV's development.
+Linkenski Well they're the kind of businessmen to put people they want to get rid of but do not have grounds to fire in a tiny room with menial white to do until they get so depressed they quit. literal mental torture to get rid for of employees they no longer like or want.

I know i'm late. But Kiefer DID speak a lot in the game. Maybe not in the cutscenes, but in the Cassette Tapes he's always involved in.

"Sahelantropus?" "Metal Gear?" etc... unnecesary dialogues and questions). (Sorry for my grammar, im Spanish.)

As a Japanese MGS fan, this video made me astonished three time. 1. There were Jack Bauer and Luke Skywalker showed off as the first impact. 2. World wide fans also had same feeling toward Konami as well as myself. 3. Quiet was real.
I am Canadian, Hideo Kojima and Snake have been in my life since 1998 and I feel a debt of gratitude to Hideo and everyone on his team that brought Snake to life.
I know there are some people who don't like Geoff, but you have to respect what he did here. He really stands up for the betterment of the industry like few, if any. That was fantastic, Geoff, thank you for the transparency.
It's eerie how relevant the story of MGS is right now with all that's going on here, we really are like his diamond dogs. Shit I'm glad to call myself that too, I'm fully with him.
Whether Konami realizes it or not, they are done with gaming. Sure they'll try to stick around but literally everyone hates them and wants them gone. You can't stick around for long in an industry in which the consumers of the industry literally want you to leave forever. They're done. It's really that simple.
But I still think gamers would still purchase a new mgs if they release it, I been playing it since mgs1 and even though I hate konami and love Kojima, can't lie I'd still buy an mgs6 with or without him :/ (sad truth) and let's not forget the Fifa stomping winning eleven (pro evolution soccer)
+spookycookies Overall, Konami will wither and die because of their stupid actions. You can't rip the heart and soul from a series and just expect it to survive, ontop of everything theyve done this year, nobody will support them anymore.
+spookycookies Well, they've decided themselves. "Mobile is the future" and they have their shitty pechanko machines or what they're called. I can't wait to get Kojima out of there and see him as a free man to do what he wants in the industry again, and then Konami is fucking done for.
Mad props to Geoff. I never liked him as a journalist but when things looked unfair, he stood up and had the balls to call it out. Mr. Kojima, us fans will always be here for you and I hope you'll continue to surprise us with your artistic talents!
Imagine you're Hideo Kojima at rock bottom. You've been fired from the company you helped turn into an international behemoth, whose flagship franchise is your hijacked masterpiece. The actor who voices the lead character of your final game accepts your award, barely mentioning you... then, the host of the Game Awards ceremony cuts in to shed light on the injustice of your situation, and introduces a live performance of a song from your game's soundtrack, in honor of your forced absence.
They ruined themselves they have no future now because they were so jealous of Kojima because people are probably calling the company Kojima instead of kohnami because he was everything that was great about that company
Dont even know what they were thinking @@ Fire the best man in your company ? The man that made name for the whole studio and worked nonstop for over 30 years LMAO
team FUCK konami i hate pes anyway i like fifa i wud aprciate it if hideo joined electronic arts they are the best in graphics and all and yo know what konamis president is a perv
I think this is the reason Kojima keeps his perseverance at 100% His love and dedication to the gamers, to great story telling, to his vision of the gaming industry. We need more like him. We need people to say "Fuck you, ill go do my own thing". Say what you want about Death Stranding, it might not be your thing, the guy pulled his crew together to create quality. And thats all, I, as a gamer, could ask of Devs.
Matt Something straight up, I will never buy another Konami game after 2017. Disrespectful, disgraceful and disgusting, this man is a legend in the business and in our hearts. Keep your crap Konami, your games are shit without him anyway
+Isaac Gasca Konami is a completely different kind of "worse" too. EA are nice to employees, really nice, in fact. It's just that EA's business ideals hurt their products and consumer trust too often.
+Isaac Gasca well EA ,a couple of months ago, bribed so many people on reddit to ban anyone who post a negative review on star wars battlefront's alpha private gameplay
Even though Hayter will forever be in my heart as the voice of Snake, Sutherland did an amazing work and paid tribute to the icon. Hideo Kojima is still the GOAT god dammit!
PatchFact Well i never noticed Snake Said even one sentence in MGSV xD anyway i totally agree with the decision kojima Made with Sutherland because snake is Not snake in MGSV so Its normal that two different Person's have different voices. I would wonder if they had the same voice.
Dood. At least EA dont put up harsh game development working conditions, nor are they releasing *only* pachinko machines to get their income. EA is dead honest about their problems. I swear it.
at least EA knew they still fucked up and is trying to make amends to it's consumer, sure this year haven't really great with EA but at least john riccitelo is no more
This is where Geoff really leapt out of his Dorito Pope origins. It took BALLS for a guy like him to straight up call out a major games publisher, in front of thousands of people like this. You can tell he's nervous doing it, but he did it, because everyone needed to hear it. Mad respect. Glad he's come along as much as he has as a games journalist.
Where's the Konami of Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra...? The Konami of Metal Gear Solid....? It's so sad to watch its mask crack down... Back in my childhood, the words Nintendo, Sega, Konami and Capcom were golden. What's happening...?
+TeacherGus Nintendo's doing good. Sega needs a bit work, but it's not NEAR as bad as Konami. And even Capcom is looking like they're trying to pull themselves out of the hole they dug. Konami? Konami has buried it's own grave, layed in it, and poured the dirt over itself. All it needs is a tombstone and it's finished.
Konami= Worst Japanese video game company at the current moment Konami has become so bad that they make EA, Sega, and Capcom look amazing in comparison!
+BetaComparison5 wanna know whats worse....capcom is learning from their mistakes and trying to fix everything...hell sega even wants to fix everything
+jolitero Yeah Capcom has made strides but they fucked up so much it's taking some time. I mean losing the original developers of Devil May Cry and making that shitty reboot with a shit team was a low point for me. At least Platinum games continued to make Bayonetta and MGR: Revengence. Now that Bayonetta is in Smash and not Dante I think it's clear that Capcom fucked up on that one.
Would be interesting to know which Konami big boss wife or daughter did Kojima screw with to be put to a blacklist so strongly. He has been completely shut out by Konami so there must be some huge reason behind this because it all happened really suddenly and fast. It's true he spent a lot of the company's money in making MGS, but he also earned them multiple times that back.
+Misbehave my guess is that they fell out with him because of money which is lets face it pathetic, they should have known he would make alot more money back from sales of the game the ceo must be deluded
+Misbehave Konami is closing down they're games to make gambling machines for Vegas and mobile games. But they're doing it in the most asshole way possible like the rest of Japanese companies that do this.
Maybe the wife of the CEO was like Kojima is handsome and more of a man than you he brings big money to the company and he deserves to be the CEO thats how I see what happen but still......it would've been better of Kojima was the CEO instead
Hope Geoff watches this video and finds that same courage to denounce what's wrong with the industry right now, take a stand on the Activision case Geoff, just like you rightfully did with the case of Hideo and Konami.
We can all go boo Konami until all the frequencies break down their HQ, but I can't help but worry about Geoff at this point. Shit, good for him for biting the bullet and revealing this info, but God knows what Konami is going to end up doing to him. They're probably gonna sue him for millions or until they force him to "admit" that he was lying. We should all go protect Geoff for a while, is all I'm saying.
WE HOLD OUR RIFLES IN MISSING HANDS. WE STAND TALL ON MISSING LEGS. WE STRIVE FORWARD ON THE BONES OF OUR FALLEN. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, ARE WE ALIVE. THIS PAIN... IS OURS...
Imagine Gordon Ramsay has to investigate other business companies why they’re failing and fans are not buying their shit. *Gordon Ramsay in Business Nightmare.* Ramsay: What is this? GameStop CEO: That’s our chart of the market. Ramsay: Why is it so low? CEO: Well, we tried to make money out of customers when they return their games and they will only get like $10 back from a $60 game. Ramsay: What?! CEO: I mean, look at it, the chart is slowly climbing back up now. Ramsay: Well look at your list of stores and how many has been shutdown all over U.S.?! CEO: I mean we’re still climbing up in market. Ramsay: Oh my god...let me see the other distribution... (5 minutes later) What on earth is this?! CEO: Those are old video games. Ramsay: Old video games? Most of these are scratched. Don’t tell me you guys sell these? CEO: In fact we do. Ramsay: What?! How much? CEO: Well it depends the year of the game. Say for example, this game here “Final Fantasy X” released in 2001. We’ll sell it for $10. Ramsay: What if the customer doesn’t like it, or the disc won’t read? Do they get full refund? CEO: Unfortunately no. They’ll only get a partial back. So, since it’s $10, they’ll get *10* cents back. And if they’re a member with us, they get $1 back. Ramsay: Oh my god... But this one says greatest hits? CEO: Doesn’t matter. Ramsay: Fuck me... Narrator: After the devastated news from the CEO, Gordon got in contact to former employees that use to work at the headquarter building for GameStop to chat what had happened to these former employees. Ramsay: So, tell me what happened. Former Employer: Well, I use to work in the corporate office for 5 years. I remember hearing the CEO just yelling saying something “We have to do this or we are not making sales!” Something like that. One day I got in my office and doing my job, then out of no where I was told I got fire right on the spot. Without notices. Ramsay: Damn. So, where do you work at now? Former E: I now work in the human recourse department for the state here. And the management is way more better than that crap I use to work. Ramsay: I mean I can tell, because I talked to him and it just seems he’s not getting the point either. Well it’s nice to meet you. Narrator: Gordon then went to meet another former employee but this woman use to work for the store. Ramsay: So, what happened? Former E: I was harnessed by my manager at the time but he no longer works there. And I called the HR department about the situation and they just told me to “grow up”. Ramsay: Oh my god... Former E: HR in that department is a joke. HR in there is only meant for the company but not US employees. So that’s why I left during my 2nd month. Narrator: Later, Gordon went and to several GameStop stores to talk to employees, supervisors, and general managers on their roles. Ramsay: So, how long you worked here? Employee: about 1 year. Ramsay: Does your supervisor/manager get on you a lot? Employee: Not all the time, but they want us to get customers to sign up for rewards program but the way they tell me is like, if I can’t get it, I’m going to get a write up. It’s like we have to manipulate our customers. Ramsay: Damn... What a shame. *Next* Ramsay: So, you’re the supervisor and you’re the general manager. So, what’s your guys story about the company right now? Supervisor: Well, we just work for the company. Like the district manager will come in and tell us stupid things like, “Oh, if you’re just making the schedule you’re not suppose to clock in.” GM: Well, we had loss prevention came into our store and like he mention the DM we’re not supposed to “clock in” while making the schedule. Plus, whenever the DM comes in, he would pull one of my employee to the back room and talk and most of the time it’s 95% chance they get fire for no reason. And, the DM literally forced me to lecture my staffs and threat them to get those rewards sign up. Apparently I’m the *13th* manager in this store now. Ramsay: Holy hell... Narrator: Back in the headquarter. Ramsay: Okay...so, I did a little of my own investigation. And I cannot believe what I had heard. So, YOU over there you work in the HR department right? Staff: Yes sir. Ramsay: So, can you tell me what HR is supposed to be there for. Staff: We are here for our staffs whenever that’s needed or something important. Ramsay: Well apparently you and your members are full of shit. Because I got this audio tape AND got permission from this former employee to allow me to let you guys listen about this bull crap. *plays audio for the staffs* And you said you guys are here for the staffs? So full of shit. (Time pass by) *Both CEO and Ramsay argues for a while.* Ramsay: I can’t believe this. Never in my life I thought I would have to do this for the 2nd time of my life. Is walk away from helping you guys. *Ramsay walks out of the building and talks to the camera man.* Ramsay: Wow...just wow. I tried to help them but the CEO is just a prick. Even half of the staff in there don’t even wanna be in there and I’ve talked to former employees that worked in that building said they got fired without warnings was really shocking. But I can’t do this anymore. We’ll just see where they end up because I’m done with this bullshit.
It's good that Geoff didn't sugar coat the situation and just straight up said that Konami didn't let him come to the show despite him wanting to. This makes the tribute all the more impactful.
For best direction something I wouldnt even consider as a Game Award sure its important in game development but how about Best RPG, Best FPS, Best Story you know shit that matters. Death Stranding is a horrible game with a masterpiece story taped unto it thats my best description.
@@imixupwords5340 I thought the exact opposite, for me I really enjoyed, and still enjoy the game. Playing on harder levels, the asynchronous online elements is an experience I've never had. That , the story, the music and the unbelievable fact that a game that visually beauitful is running on an underpowered 2013 base ps4 is crazy to me.
@@cookiess5049 Amazing story. But the gameplay is just... Not good. And the gameplay matters the most. It's a game that plays like it should have been a movie. Not to mention the 9+ hours of cutscenes...
Because he'd then hand off the series to someone else. Seriously, he's tried shilling the series off to someone else since after Metal Gear 2. Metal Gear 1 he just kinda assumed it would be a one and done and that he'd move onto other games, which he did for awhile.
It's okay Kojima. Just pick your most trusted fan and we will be your Phantom. We will a·venge you, and get our revenge on Konami. While we act as your Phantom you will be free to create your outer haven for those Game developers who are left for dead from evil companies. "In Kojima's eyes, the greatest symbiotic parasite the world's ever known isn't microbial. It's Konami. Kojima is what keeps civilization, our world, alive. Free the world, not by taking men's money, but by taking Konami."
What a shame. Metal Gear solid has always been a gaming masterpiece through its intricate story telling and depth, and that has been because of Hideo. You could tell how metal gear 5 was just halted and torn up by Konami. That was not the vision of Hideo at all. This saga reminds me of the Snyder vision in the DC universe. Batman Vs Superman was completely cut down for theatrical release, and in absolutely no way was Justice League a Snyder film.
Also, of course a 40 IQ person like you would not like this game.. loot at you face dude.. u're like those skinny deforme dudes addicted to crack from police movies and shit.
Where was this Geoff Keighley when he gave his speech about harassment in the video games industry? Where was this passion for such an outrageous thing as the workers that make these games possible being overworked and harassed by people with more power than them, and these predators almost always going unpunished?
Wow... I've never played any of Kojima's games (not my genre, sorry), but this devotion of his fans and colleagues, all expressed in this wonderful performance, just gave me goosebumps.
Mr. Kojima, we know that you're not exactly from the US, but to video games- Nay, to all of entertainment, you have and always will be... A true patriot.
This would have been a perfect moment for Kojima to come out of a cardboard box on stage.
He would have to say "Kept you waiting, huh?"
+silentzorah i would just explode in happiness
It was a missed opportunity for Konami, though it's a great idea for a publicity stunt. Attract attention making it seem like you're unreasonably restricting an artist from attending an award show (or other media event), and then they make a surprise entrance!
That would honestly be my favourite moment in all of human history
silentzorah yeah with the catchphrase "kept you waiting, huh?"
Konami not allowing Kojima to accept his award just shows how pathetic this company has become.

+Yaeven The Dorito King redeemed. Standing up to tell the world that Konami banned Kojami from attending was hard.
+Yaeven Just wanted him to say "#fuckkonami" at the end though
+Yaeven agreed most hosts wouldn't have said a word about it
+Yaeven Well most people don't like him for his past, I think he's a different person now but look 5-8 years back and its disgusting...
+KOSAMA GAMES (コドバリノ) Why was he hated 5-8 years ago?
Konami is pretty much Cipher.
Kojima is Big Boss and we're his Diamond Dogs.
They played us like a damn fiddle!
It's eerie how relevant the story of MGS is right now with all that's going on here, we really are like his diamond dogs. Shit I'm glad to call myself that too, I'm fully with him.
+Mortal Network greatest comment on youtube!!
If kojima is big boss then I'm Ahab.
... until he goes crazy and we all get put down by a much younger version of himself
Kojima is secretly there inside a cardboard box
Konami: !!! What is that voice? >:((((
He's in Japan listening through the sonar radar gun. XD
WORDS THAT KILL!

Would you speeaaak them to me?
words that spill
+chrisakalogic with your breath so still
it makes me believe
*those who don't exist
Who knew i'd find you here mom?
I'm just glad Hideo didn't go. Kojima standing on the same stage as Mark Hamill would make the Universe implode of too much awesomeness.
Lol, I think it already exploded and we're dead right now, because freaking Kiefer Sutherland and Mark Hamill were on the same stage.
Bruce Snow now if only hideo kojima could have been on there too it would have destroyed the whole universe completely
Gabriel Arthur if David Hayter and Mark Hamil were at the same stage, then two universes would combine together.
Kojima was once in the same stage as Stan Lee, dressed as Ocelot
@@mudkip96 really?
He got his revenge with Death Stranding.
Nicholas Whitman except death stranding was bad. No offence to kojima tho
Tbh, it sounds like Konami dodged a bullet in that regard.
Death stranding is way overhyped and overrated
@@welkingunther4298 We could've gotten a sequel to Silent Hill though, he was working on PT
Derris if they were to keep him then they would spam his work with bs micro transactions
Whether Konami realizes it or not, they are done with gaming. Sure they'll try to stick around but literally everyone hates them and wants them gone. You can't stick around for long in an industry in which the consumers of the industry literally want you to leave forever. They're done. It's really that simple.
But I still think gamers would still purchase a new mgs if they release it, I been playing it since mgs1 and even though I hate konami and love Kojima, can't lie I'd still buy an mgs6 with or without him :/ (sad truth) and let's not forget the Fifa stomping winning eleven (pro evolution soccer)
I for one won't be buying anything, if they do release a MGS game, it will be the first in the series that will be 'downloaded'.
+Aiman Balushi MGS is nothing without Kojima. MGS Rising proved that. The reaction of the crowd also shows Kojima is above Konami.
+spookycookies Overall, Konami will wither and die because of their stupid actions. You can't rip the heart and soul from a series and just expect it to survive, ontop of everything theyve done this year, nobody will support them anymore.
+spookycookies Well, they've decided themselves. "Mobile is the future" and they have their shitty pechanko machines or what they're called. I can't wait to get Kojima out of there and see him as a free man to do what he wants in the industry again, and then Konami is fucking done for.
Mad props to Geoff. I never liked him as a journalist but when things looked unfair, he stood up and had the balls to call it out. Mr. Kojima, us fans will always be here for you and I hope you'll continue to surprise us with your artistic talents!
Imagine you're Hideo Kojima at rock bottom. You've been fired from the company you helped turn into an international behemoth, whose flagship franchise is your hijacked masterpiece. The actor who voices the lead character of your final game accepts your award, barely mentioning you... then, the host of the Game Awards ceremony cuts in to shed light on the injustice of your situation, and introduces a live performance of a song from your game's soundtrack, in honor of your forced absence.
It was on that day, Konami have made all of their fans their enemies.
Diamond Dogs. Motherbase will fix them.
@@macaco_amigo No really.
KONAMI IS A JOKE
Antony Cabrera and I’m not laughing
A bad one at that.
And Metal Gear Survive is the punchline
They ruined themselves they have no future now because they were so jealous of Kojima because people are probably calling the company Kojima instead of kohnami because he was everything that was great about that company
Dont even know what they were thinking @@ Fire the best man in your company ? The man that made name for the whole studio and worked nonstop for over 30 years LMAO
Such tragedy. To be forced out of the one thing you have devoted your whole life to.

And now metal gear survive is the tombstone
Except they still thrive off their Pachinko machines.
exactly 1 year later... my stance is still #FuckKonami
team FUCK konami
i hate pes anyway i like fifa i wud aprciate it if hideo joined electronic arts
they are the best in graphics and all
and yo know what konamis president is a perv
From now until forever.
and who's de kid here FUC YA ya a pes fan so FUC ya
Stair Fax Eh. Konami is a business.
And exactly one year after you originally posted this comment, I still agree.
#FuckKonami
I think this is the reason Kojima keeps his perseverance at 100%
His love and dedication to the gamers, to great story telling, to his vision of the gaming industry.
We need more like him. We need people to say "Fuck you, ill go do my own thing".
Say what you want about Death Stranding, it might not be your thing, the guy pulled his crew together to create quality.
And thats all, I, as a gamer, could ask of Devs.
Good on Keighley for siding with his friend. We don't need you anymore Konami!
Matt Something straight up, I will never buy another Konami game after 2017. Disrespectful, disgraceful and disgusting, this man is a legend in the business and in our hearts. Keep your crap Konami, your games are shit without him anyway
konazi is worst than EA at this point
+No Fate... a wild ubisoft appears
The only good thing I can say about Konami is that they didn't screw up Star Wars like you have. THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY NICE ABOUT KONAMI!
+Isaac Gasca Konami is a completely different kind of "worse" too. EA are nice to employees, really nice, in fact. It's just that EA's business ideals hurt their products and consumer trust too often.
EA actually treats their Employees with a degree of actual HUMANITY, something Konazi fails on every single front to show to their own .
+Isaac Gasca well EA ,a couple of months ago, bribed so many people on reddit to ban anyone who post a negative review on star wars battlefront's alpha private gameplay

+Arcade Pallot That's...pretty good.
Even though Hayter will forever be in my heart as the voice of Snake, Sutherland did an amazing work and paid tribute to the icon.
Hideo Kojima is still the GOAT god dammit!
PatchFact Well i never noticed Snake Said even one sentence in MGSV xD anyway i totally agree with the decision kojima Made with Sutherland because snake is Not snake in MGSV so Its normal that two different Person's have different voices. I would wonder if they had the same voice.
Keither Sutherland spoke more here than he ever did as big boss in mgsv
xD i wouldve loves if he did like a littlw quick voice of BB here. if he said something like "Kept you waiting, huh?"
Yes and he was a wrong choice
Robert Brown he wasn't, his voice suits snake very well
frank grimes yes i was talking about venom
that’s not true
Konami and EA are evil.
This isn't even subjective at this point.
Dood. At least EA dont put up harsh game development working conditions, nor are they releasing *only* pachinko machines to get their income. EA is dead honest about their problems. I swear it.
EA doesn't said fuck all their games, let make pachinko machines instead.
at least EA knew they still fucked up and is trying to make amends to it's consumer, sure this year haven't really great with EA but at least john riccitelo is no more
EA is Bethesda compared to the unholy depths that Konami has sunk to.
They are bunch of corporate dogs.
This is where Geoff really leapt out of his Dorito Pope origins. It took BALLS for a guy like him to straight up call out a major games publisher, in front of thousands of people like this. You can tell he's nervous doing it, but he did it, because everyone needed to hear it. Mad respect. Glad he's come along as much as he has as a games journalist.
Where's the Konami of Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra...? The Konami of Metal Gear Solid....? It's so sad to watch its mask crack down... Back in my childhood, the words Nintendo, Sega, Konami and Capcom were golden. What's happening...?
The same thing that happens to everything at some point. Life.
Interpret that however you want to.
+Marcus pretty deep
+TeacherGus
Nintendo's doing good. Sega needs a bit work, but it's not NEAR as bad as Konami. And even Capcom is looking like they're trying to pull themselves out of the hole they dug.
Konami? Konami has buried it's own grave, layed in it, and poured the dirt over itself. All it needs is a tombstone and it's finished.
+badarbiter I think this latest move WAS that tombstone.
All of those games are now in Pachinko. If not, then it will be soon.
130 Konami supervisors disliked the video
248 Konami supervises have disliked the video
When did a make that reply?
This was incredibly ballsy for Geoff to do, calling out Konami like that.
Yeah and at the time and what was going on im glad he did and then to receive the icon award the next year.

+BetaComparison5 wanna know whats worse....capcom is learning from their mistakes and trying to fix everything...hell sega even wants to fix everything
At least Capcom is redeeming themselves these days. They just announced a new onimusha game! Hope it's good.
And Street fighter 5 dlc characters are gonna be free... Capcom's becoming good
+jolitero Yeah Capcom has made strides but they fucked up so much it's taking some time. I mean losing the original developers of Devil May Cry and making that shitty reboot with a shit team was a low point for me. At least Platinum games continued to make Bayonetta and MGR: Revengence.
Now that Bayonetta is in Smash and not Dante I think it's clear that Capcom fucked up on that one.
capcom are still legends they just don't get much support from the west so we miss out on all their best games (like monster hunter)
3 years later :
Kojima after death stranding : Right back at ya, buckaroo
And people want a Konami rep in smash?! forget it, this company does not deserve it.

Fun Fact: The man who received the award was really Hideo Kojima himself, using a Camouflage as Kiefer Sutherland.
A disguise huh?
Would be interesting to know which Konami big boss wife or daughter did Kojima screw with to be put to a blacklist so strongly.
He has been completely shut out by Konami so there must be some huge reason behind this because it all happened really suddenly and fast. It's true he spent a lot of the company's money in making MGS, but he also earned them multiple times that back.
it's not that it's just they have some differences
+Onur K BUT IT TOOK SO LOOOOOOONG, how dare you expect the executives to have something like PATIENCE, they have shareholders to scam, dammit!
+Misbehave my guess is that they fell out with him because of money which is lets face it pathetic, they should have known he would make alot more money back from sales of the game
the ceo must be deluded
+Misbehave Konami is closing down they're games to make gambling machines for Vegas and mobile games. But they're doing it in the most asshole way possible like the rest of Japanese companies that do this.
Maybe the wife of the CEO was like Kojima is handsome and more of a man than you he brings big money to the company and he deserves to be the CEO thats how I see what happen but still......it would've been better of Kojima was the CEO instead
Could this saga have ended on a worse note? Fuck Konami
Props to Geoff and all the fans devs and Kojima himself.
Hope Geoff watches this video and finds that same courage to denounce what's wrong with the industry right now, take a stand on the Activision case Geoff, just like you rightfully did with the case of Hideo and Konami.
We are Diamond Dogs.
I’m already a demon, heaven isn’t my kind of place
Do the DD hate konami coz konami mistreated kojima
‘Gem Puppies’ has such a better ring to it.
We won't scatter your ashes to the heartless sea
Geoff gets a lot of hate but you've got to give him some respect for this.
We can all go boo Konami until all the frequencies break down their HQ, but I can't help but worry about Geoff at this point. Shit, good for him for biting the bullet and revealing this info, but God knows what Konami is going to end up doing to him. They're probably gonna sue him for millions or until they force him to "admit" that he was lying.
We should all go protect Geoff for a while, is all I'm saying.
he's fine! He did a good!
They can't do shit if he didnt sign anything to remain silent (i know im late but just wanted to add)
This comment aged like milk. They didn't do nothing
Hopefully Sutherland gave the award to Kojima
Don't worry, At the Game Awards 2016, Geoff personally handed Kojima his award, in case you didn't watch the 2016 game awards!
zodiac909 Sweet, it's well deserved

Metal Gear Solids is my favorite.
This is basically the plot of MGSV minus the 9 year coma for Kojima. He will rise again, our Big Boss. Diamond Dogs will live on.
Imagine Gordon Ramsay has to investigate other business companies why they’re failing and fans are not buying their shit.
*Gordon Ramsay in Business Nightmare.*
Ramsay: What is this?
GameStop CEO: That’s our chart of the market.
Ramsay: Why is it so low?
CEO: Well, we tried to make money out of customers when they return their games and they will only get like $10 back from a $60 game.
Ramsay: What?!
CEO: I mean, look at it, the chart is slowly climbing back up now.
Ramsay: Well look at your list of stores and how many has been shutdown all over U.S.?!
CEO: I mean we’re still climbing up in market.
Ramsay: Oh my god...let me see the other distribution... (5 minutes later) What on earth is this?!
CEO: Those are old video games.
Ramsay: Old video games? Most of these are scratched. Don’t tell me you guys sell these?
CEO: In fact we do.
Ramsay: What?! How much?
CEO: Well it depends the year of the game. Say for example, this game here “Final Fantasy X” released in 2001. We’ll sell it for $10.
Ramsay: What if the customer doesn’t like it, or the disc won’t read? Do they get full refund?
CEO: Unfortunately no. They’ll only get a partial back. So, since it’s $10, they’ll get *10* cents back. And if they’re a member with us, they get $1 back.
Ramsay: Oh my god... But this one says greatest hits?
CEO: Doesn’t matter.
Ramsay: Fuck me...
Narrator: After the devastated news from the CEO, Gordon got in contact to former employees that use to work at the headquarter building for GameStop to chat what had happened to these former employees.
Ramsay: So, tell me what happened.
Former Employer: Well, I use to work in the corporate office for 5 years. I remember hearing the CEO just yelling saying something “We have to do this or we are not making sales!” Something like that. One day I got in my office and doing my job, then out of no where I was told I got fire right on the spot. Without notices.
Ramsay: Damn. So, where do you work at now?
Former E: I now work in the human recourse department for the state here. And the management is way more better than that crap I use to work.
Ramsay: I mean I can tell, because I talked to him and it just seems he’s not getting the point either. Well it’s nice to meet you.
Narrator: Gordon then went to meet another former employee but this woman use to work for the store.
Ramsay: So, what happened?
Former E: I was harnessed by my manager at the time but he no longer works there. And I called the HR department about the situation and they just told me to “grow up”.
Ramsay: Oh my god...
Former E: HR in that department is a joke. HR in there is only meant for the company but not US employees. So that’s why I left during my 2nd month.
Narrator: Later, Gordon went and to several GameStop stores to talk to employees, supervisors, and general managers on their roles.
Ramsay: So, how long you worked here?
Employee: about 1 year.
Ramsay: Does your supervisor/manager get on you a lot?
Employee: Not all the time, but they want us to get customers to sign up for rewards program but the way they tell me is like, if I can’t get it, I’m going to get a write up. It’s like we have to manipulate our customers.
Ramsay: Damn... What a shame.
*Next*
Ramsay: So, you’re the supervisor and you’re the general manager. So, what’s your guys story about the company right now?
Supervisor: Well, we just work for the company. Like the district manager will come in and tell us stupid things like, “Oh, if you’re just making the schedule you’re not suppose to clock in.”
GM: Well, we had loss prevention came into our store and like he mention the DM we’re not supposed to “clock in” while making the schedule. Plus, whenever the DM comes in, he would pull one of my employee to the back room and talk and most of the time it’s 95% chance they get fire for no reason. And, the DM literally forced me to lecture my staffs and threat them to get those rewards sign up. Apparently I’m the *13th* manager in this store now.
Ramsay: Holy hell...
Narrator: Back in the headquarter.
Ramsay: Okay...so, I did a little of my own investigation. And I cannot believe what I had heard. So, YOU over there you work in the HR department right?
Staff: Yes sir.
Ramsay: So, can you tell me what HR is supposed to be there for.
Staff: We are here for our staffs whenever that’s needed or something important.
Ramsay: Well apparently you and your members are full of shit. Because I got this audio tape AND got permission from this former employee to allow me to let you guys listen about this bull crap. *plays audio for the staffs*
And you said you guys are here for the staffs? So full of shit.
(Time pass by)
*Both CEO and Ramsay argues for a while.*
Ramsay: I can’t believe this. Never in my life I thought I would have to do this for the 2nd time of my life. Is walk away from helping you guys. *Ramsay walks out of the building and talks to the camera man.*
Ramsay: Wow...just wow. I tried to help them but the CEO is just a prick. Even half of the staff in there don’t even wanna be in there and I’ve talked to former employees that worked in that building said they got fired without warnings was really shocking. But I can’t do this anymore. We’ll just see where they end up because I’m done with this bullshit.
I literally seeing a clear image of how these things going on in my head right now
Ever thought of writing a book?
Dude deadass u could market this
… yeah I’d watch that
Geoff has balls and is awesome. Mad respect for calling out such petty bullshit.
This is the moment that made Geoff, he made that split second decision to call them out and we noticed.
I hate how poorly hideo is treated just for doing things that he loved
Game Awards should've awarded Konami "A**holes of the Year".
To have Geoff the Mountain Dew Prophet come out and basically say "Fuck Konami", I have to say Keighley has gained some respect in my eyes...
It's good that Geoff didn't sugar coat the situation and just straight up said that Konami didn't let him come to the show despite him wanting to. This makes the tribute all the more impactful.

Why we dont make a petition to give metal gear rights to hideo kojima not konami
Because he'd then hand off the series to someone else. Seriously, he's tried shilling the series off to someone else since after Metal Gear 2. Metal Gear 1 he just kinda assumed it would be a one and done and that he'd move onto other games, which he did for awhile.
Yeah Konami, it's been a year but nothing Metal Gear will Ever truly be yours.
This did not age well at all, what with Geoff taking the side of Activision.

"In Kojima's eyes, the greatest symbiotic parasite the world's ever known isn't microbial. It's Konami. Kojima is what keeps civilization, our world, alive. Free the world, not by taking men's money, but by taking Konami."

ElectricBatman with u
What a shame.
Metal Gear solid has always been a gaming masterpiece through its intricate story telling and depth, and that has been because of Hideo.
You could tell how metal gear 5 was just halted and torn up by Konami. That was not the vision of Hideo at all.
This saga reminds me of the Snyder vision in the DC universe. Batman Vs Superman was completely cut down for theatrical release, and in absolutely no way was Justice League a Snyder film.
When the host kept saying uh in between words I felt that
And 4 years later konami regret firing kojima from the team

Death Stranding is amazing. Some people just wanna play mindless fps’s all the time but that’s okay too.
Also, of course a 40 IQ person like you would not like this game.. loot at you face dude.. u're like those skinny deforme dudes addicted to crack from police movies and shit.
Konami can eat shit for all I care at this point.
Where was this Geoff Keighley when he gave his speech about harassment in the video games industry? Where was this passion for such an outrageous thing as the workers that make these games possible being overworked and harassed by people with more power than them, and these predators almost always going unpunished?
Lol
"Metal gear solids"
Wow... I've never played any of Kojima's games (not my genre, sorry), but this devotion of his fans and colleagues, all expressed in this wonderful performance, just gave me goosebumps.
"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on hara-kiri rock! I need Scissors! 61!"
Mr. Kojima, we know that you're not exactly from the US, but to video games-
Nay, to all of entertainment, you have and always will be...
A true patriot.
