Yoko Taro says Hideki Kamiya's social media blocking sprees and snarky comebacks are a net positive for the game industry!
“When you’re a game creator and a public-facing personality, you draw attention from a lot of people, including some real weirdos. Some of them say things that are seriously absurd or out of line. But since they’re your customers and your audience, you can’t really clap back at full force.”
“But Kamiya does clap back. He just tells them, 'Go away, you insect!' (laughs). Just like how there are people who will tell you off in real life when provoked, I think it’s a net positive to instill the fear that are also game creators who have that edge. (…) That’s why I think having Kamiya-san around as a game industry peer is super reassuring.”
