Rebirth Director Naoki Hamaguchi on Modern Game Development: ‘We Now Create with a Global Audience in Mind’





Please don’t. Please stop doing this. Every single person who creates and starts up a studio, never do this. Never work for someone who says this. There is no such thing as a “global audience”. You gained popularity because you wrote and made what you wanted. You didn’t gain popularity because you censored your ideas and stories and intent. You didn’t gain popularity by invoking modern day American political first world problems into your narrative. The “global audience” doesn’t exist. Your fans want you to make what you want. Do not engage in censorship. Do not seek guidance from “consultants” who lie. Do not engage in negotiations with governments or rating boards. Not a single thing catering to the “global audience” ever does well. This hurts my heart. But he’s been forced into this position because no creative would ever want this. This is the death of art.
