I'm better now. I wish I could delete that previous message, it's kind of embarassing.

Minecraft should be on PS Vita too..

"According to Kojima, the key to global success is separation: if a development house wants western success, they should build a western team separate from their existing Japanese teams, complete with their own offices and culture-specific pay-scales."

He's got a point. Most of Japanese developers' problems :
- they don't have money
- they don't like to hire foreigners (because of the language barrier)
-> they won't pay big money to skilled foreign developpers
(actually they pay bad money to bad developpers, whose "strength" lies in being able to "work" twenty hours a day, seven days a week, during the two last years before the final release - it may not be exagerated).

Probably Kojima is trying with this interview to convince the bosses of his company - one of the few that seems to have money - to invest in foreign workforce.

Game Republic suspended its employees salaries in August 2010 and since then just tried to get rid of them (and i think carried it off successfully). That might explain why the game looks "unfinished at best"..
