Yeah, he's crossing into a bit of Hideki Kamiya territory with actions like that.

i wonder if Kojima is also hated by his (current and) former employees like Kamiya (self admitted in interview in Unseen games YouTube channel)

I seem to recall reading something around the time PT came out, where somebody said that Kojima is pretty difficult to work for, and runs his studio more like a director on a film set would. Apparently, he doesn't take input or suggestions from anybody else outside of a few trusted writers on his team.

Granted, that was 10+ years ago when he was still at Konami, so maybe things are different now that he's independent.

Thank god. Too many of you people encourage the Homer Simpsons of the world to have as much say in game development as the Hideo Kojimas, and it's why most modern games look like the car Homer designed.

The reason why ya'll want the Homer Simpsons of the world to have as much input as actual directors is because you're laymen like Homer but you want to pretend that you're not.

Ok, now you guys are just clueless.
