Not to be snarky or anything, but your logic is a little bit flawed. If you were buying their games used in the first place, then they don't really are if you don't buy anymore of their games because they never saw a penny of that purchase.

Unless you were buying new, in which case you don't have to pay anything extra therefore this doesn't really affect you.

being able to use the hydrofoil from phantasy star 4 would make me buy this game.

this is hands down the BEST thanksgiving blogpost EVER.

sounds a lot like an angry teenager, doesn't it?

Even if you DO enjoy his games, I don't see how you cannot see how much of a prick he is.

On the topic of respect, any idiot with ANY sense of respect for HIS peers wouldn't speak so damn contemptuously of their dev team as Kojima so often does. Do you even remeber the older MGS2 or 3 trailer? These are the people who actually do the bulk of the work, rather than rub their self-satisfaction all of the public, and yet every time he has something to say, he talks about them like a burden of useless individuals who's work can't compete with his grand vision. How would you feel if you put in hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours of hard work programming, modeling characters or designing sound, or even the dirty work of testing and your boss took no chance to thank you, but rather talk about how much better it wouldve been if he couldve done it all himself? I don't know about you, but I take pride in the work I do, and I would be pretty damn pissed off.

Then again, if you do ever happen to get into the game industry, or any creative industry whatsoever, I'm sure there is the possibility you'd enjoy having your hard work constantly publicly berated by your boss. Whatever floats your boat.

I guess me and Kojima have something in common.

Kojima is such an arrogant prick. His development team was 200 people versus him? Really? This was probably the case because those 200 people may have actually had GOOD ideas. MGS4's story was such contrived self-indulgent dogpoop.

Well, I guess this is when all the kojima fanboys internets beat me -_-.

I think some ambiguity would be kinda nice, as opposed to.

"IF I DO THIS I'LL SO BAAAAAAD.... BUT IF I DO THIS I'LL DEFINITELY BE GOOOOOOOD."

I can't believe no one has mentioned that the ball is making contact with his hands.

Just thought I'd share the comment I posted on his article. HELLARIOUSSS

So basically, in response to your defense that you posted to all these commenters... You are basically saying that, theoretically, if I bought the name, say "Final Fantasy", and made a crappy hack job "sequel" that introduced absolutely nothing new, and then the original creators created another franchise that was similar except improved upon it almost every way conceivable, but gave it a different name... they would be shameless knockoffs of me? AWESOME. I LOVE YOUR LOGIC!
