>Kojima is not the only former Konami employee -- or "ex-Kon" if you will -- facing obstacles after leaving the company.

>A staffing agency employee who asked not to be named said he notifies gaming companies if a prospective hire is an ex-Kon. He said that is because Konami files complaints to gaming companies who take on its former employees.

>One major gaming company went so far as to warn its staff against hiring ex-Kon. There was even a case in which a former Konami employee moved to a construction company before joining another gaming company, hoping to throw people off the scent.

>One ex-Kon described his surprise at learning that Konami had instructed an employee at a television company not to deal with its former employees. In another case, a former Konami executive was forced to close his business due to pressure from the gaming giant.

>Ex-Kons are not allowed to put their Konami experience on their public resumes. "If you leave the company, you cannot rely on Konami's name to land a job," explained a former employee. If an ex-Kon is interviewed by the media, the company will send that person a letter through a legal representative, in some cases indicating that Konami is willing to take them to court.

>Such tactics, however, have not stopped popular creators from leaving the company. In addition to Kojima, other big names to leave Konami in recent years include Naoki Maeda, the composer for popular rhythm games such as "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Bemani"; Akari Uchida, producer of the dating simulation games "LovePlus"; Minoboshi Taro, the illustrator for "LovePlus"; and Shinichi Hanamoto, a former executive who helped Konami obtain the license for the popular card game Yu-Gi-Oh.

Nah I think they are retarded for not wanting more money, if they acted like the western jew devs they'd just have more money. It's so odd to see how different they are in their jew ways, they could easily keep making sequels for games that people want and they'd sell but instead they make shitty new games that no one buys. Metroid federation force shouldn't exist they new one and prime should have had that dev time since they would actually sell. They could pump out shit and put Kojimas name on it to make it sell more its like they want more money but they don't know how to do it.

>>380559420
Konami is unbelievably thorough in their shittiness.

Other examples of Konami telling people to go fuck themselves for no reason:

>SuperBunnyHop's video with the manifesto from Konami insider got copyright claimed by a top-shelf lawyer from the company. His claim was for 2 seconds of Revengeance footage used in the video since they couldn't find a better excuse to get the video removed without legitimizing the stuff said in the video itself as their reason

>when Autumn Games (people working with Lab Zero) got fucked by some legal trouble involving Def Jam, Konami (as the company who owned them) responded by completely severing from Autumn and giving no help, which forced them to use profits from Skullgirls to pay for legal fees.

>>380569231
>But you aren't fighting shit.
It's definitely possible for this to work, Konami have little influence outside of Japan, getting game "journalists" to boycott their products would not be that hard. Going after iOS app store and google play is entirely feasible Konami is nothing to either google or apple and they are both prone to banning companies from their store if there's public outrage.

Japan is a xenophobic hellhole even at its best of times, shit like this doesn't shock me at all. Held companies in Japan are well known for tormenting their employees into suicide just because they don't want to fire them.

Yeah, but why would a nation being xenophobic make you more likely to believe that the corporate culture is completely cancerous?

Surely it just must be big corporate shits in Japan too, meanwhile the regular small business workplaces are much better.

I mean you can not tell someone who pays for insurance no, or deny them treatment till lets say, the cancer gets worse just because it would be expensive.

Insurance should not be handled privately but publicly, we should have a national health care system, and we shouldn't let drug companies dictate prices.

and as for floodgates... japan took in a fuck load of brazillion people, because they needed labor and labor jobs in japan are looked down on so fucking hard its not funny, with the promise of citizenship. the moment they were done needing them, deport them and even though many of the people they deported never knew a life outside of japan, they were deported.

america's downfall wasn't foreigners, it's the rich and corporations that shifted the tax burden over to the people who can't afford it. they use to pay 1.50$ for every dollar a normal person paid, they now pay less than .25$ per normal person.

Remember Japan has a problem with revering their elderly. Whether they deserve the reverence are not they are expected to be revered. Now take a look at Hollywood, how many of the bigwigs in any of the production house is any of the producers any of the directors aren't old people?

Insurance shouldn't be a business, at least health insurance.

The reason why it should be nationalized, because when you deal with the government companies are less likely to completely fuck over the government rather than the person. I would personally rather be fucked over by incompetence than somebody deciding I don't want to pay $200,000 it would take to heal them even though their insurance plan covers it, so let's let them sit for six weeks while we make our decision and I'll wait the cancer spread as now stage IV will provide you hospice care.

Take it out of my tax I know I'll be getting less fucked over by the government them by that fucking cock sucker who wants to make money off of my health.

Unions weren't founded by the mob but they were taken over by them, at least in bigger cities.

Let's give an example, my dad work someplace that has a union. One year their productivity was off by .3%, so they didn't get bonuses that year which for most people would've been somewhere around five to $6000. The union rep went in there and told them you have to give me something and he came out with $1 million that he distributed to the people.

Then they crackdown on unions in my state, a few years back they were 3% more productive then the company forecasted they would be, so they got no bonuses again. This time the union couldn't do shit, and one of the people that was told you were to productive so are not giving your bonus asked then can I turn the machine off when I go on break was told no and he screamed fuck you at the people in charge they posted a bounty to get him fired.

Companies are not your fucking friend
a good union will make sure you get more money than you pay them
unions are required because of how shitty companies are, they have no responsibility to be good to people instead their only responsibility is a make every red cent they possibly can, and if they don't do that you can be taken to court by shareholders.

The system is fucked and corrupt from the very beginning, ensure unions may have been taken over by the mob in some areas but even that's far less of a consequence than what the fuck happens without them.

Such is life, I guess.

So hypothetically, if some western dev like EA or Zenimax decided to open up a studio and hire all these ex-Kons, what would happen? Since they're western companies can they really touch them in any way?

I have heard of similar things happening over here - companies put non-compete clauses into contracts and such, so you can't get another job in the field for 5~ish years, and if they do you are vulnerable to legal action.

>>380575456

They don't have the work force to replace the mid 50s range, once they go and with a diminishing birth rate. Japan's economy is actually going to take a massive hit, consider the following that a huge amount of marketing is done towards the 60% group of 50 to 75. Adult diapers are bigger money than infant diapers in Japan, which is why it's so fucked.

Well, NeoGAF certainly hates Konami, so I guess it could work.

I had a friend who worked on an indie game while working for another (non gaming related) company, under his companies contract anything he worked on during his free time the company was able to claim as their own. So before he released his game he took a risk and quit his job to finish it.

He got sued anyway because some asshat from the company went through the game and found assets that dated to his time at the company and claimed the game partially belonged to the company and were entitled to part of it's profits.

Its ruthless everywhere. Not just Japan. In the west companies in similar fields are all tied together so if you get fired for reasons like violence or your boss didn't like you and you apply for another job in the same field, the new company will just call the older one and the older one will spill the beans on you, which would make it harder for you to get hired. I think for some companies they even share employee databases so once you're out from one firm you're out of a set.

I think weebs ruined the image of Japan, they hyped it up into this country where they can be anyone and anything, the reality is more grim. It's harder to live here than most anywhere else in the first world. The cost of living is double of California and New York easily both in living situation and cost of food. It's overcrowded, job security is low to nonexistent, immigration is the strictest to the point of 3 month housing inspections on the dot, if you happen to get married they will try everything in their power to prove it's a fake marriage and that she really doesn't love you including trying to blackmail your in-laws to tell immigration they want you gone. You wanna come live here, you gotta adapt, you have to be willing to adapt entirely and even when you do and even 10 years down the road, even 30 years down the road. You are always the outsider.

Yeah, I have a US Navy friend who's lived over there for a couple years and all the shit he's told me about has completely disillusioned me from ever wanting to live in Japan. I visited once and it's an incredible and unique place to see as a tourist, but living there, especially as a foreigner, sounds like utter hell.

It all makes me really grateful for the freedoms I enjoy here in the US. My friend has been all over the world and he can't wait to get back to the States.

Literally the UK passed a bill 3 months ago that says politicians cannot have their internet history accessed, but added the exempt that it's okay for them to access the public.
They tried to pass a law that required you must submit an ID to show you are over the age of 18 to your ISP to have access to porn sites.

>What made her so desperate and low self esteem she married a Gaijin?
Because I wasn't fat, apparently. I imagine a steady job was the determining factor. Keep in mind she comes from Yokohama so she doesn't bust out Shinto prayers when she sees a foreigner.

>Any signs we can look for?
Same things as everywhere else. Only difference is there's a distinct type of women who want you merely as a status symbol.

>How much do her parents hate you? Don't say they don't, because that is a lie.
I imagine her old man does, but it's been almost ten years so he's mellowed out. And we visit a lot because we can afford it so that must have helped.

To be fair the nordics only have to keep about 10 million people happy between them. My cities metro area has a larger population than norway and it's a medium sized city.

Though, its amazing how japan has maintained their infrastructure with 120 million people. In bongland it feels like our capacity and living standards are stretched to hell with literally half the population. But that might be due to lolausterity.

It's more than just guns mate. It's the fact that if you want a job you gotta put up with either service sector shit or just being a tradie for life.

We have a massive brain drain of educated Australians leaving for overseas since we have no diversity to our economy in what you can actually do here. The few things that aren't service or trades are highly sought after and competed over.

We also don't have as good freedom of speech as the yanks and are getting flooded by Chinks buying up our housing, which is tremendously over priced and likely in a bubble.

I have read one surprising statistic, Japanese have more free time (counting vacations) than Americans, due to Americans being workaholics and not wanting to look "bad" for promotion. Japanese tend to go "fuck you, i'm entitled to this so i'm taking it"

There's a point in living memory where the yakuza were respectable to some extent.The problem is that, I want to say, since the late 70s early 80s the people going into the yakuza don't have that part where they were a pillar of society anywhere inside of them, at that point in time they were always part of crime. It's probably hard to believe for a lot of them that there was ever a time when the yakuza were seen as respectable.

I can't afford insurance, with that said the even the insurance I was on before an ambulance arrived cost you nearly $500 and they refuse the payout for anything that cost you more than 1000. We had to take our insurance company to court on multiple times because they refuse the payout but because they were associated with my dad's work we can only use them. They would give us the shittiest doctors in the shittiest dentists to work with to the point where we were the training dummies for these fucking dentists.

A lot of my problems that prevent me from working are tied to not being able to get help when I was a kid. My wrists are fucked my feet are fucked my back is fucked now there's a lump on my chest that I don't fucking know what the hell it is and it hurts so much I can't use my left arm but I can't go to a hospital because I would cost me so much money I may as well kill myself.

Hard to type and I am relying mostly on voice to text, will give clif notes

one year they were less productive by .3% and the company withheld bonuses
The union rep went in and wouldn't leave with nothing, so they got 1 million to distribute to the people, less then they should have gotten, but more then nothing
Sence then and now the state cracked down hard on unions killing most of their power
about 5 years back they were 3% more productive then the company forecast, so they withheld bonuses again
this time the union couldn't do shit, along with the following year the health insurance they were given got significant cuts to it as well
one guy said should I just shut the machines down when I go on a smoke break to be less productive, and he was told he would be fired if he did that
another guy just yelled go fuck yourself, and the company put out a bounty on the person who yelled it, something like 10000-20000$ and just to show you how shit they are, not a single person, even though everyone knew who it was ratted him out.

>>380580403
Dragon NaturallySpeaking
they were over productive and the company didn't want to pay them bonuses, so they can nigger their way around the wording of the document that they didn't hit the productivity mark. It doesn't matter if they were underproductive or over productive they didn't hit the mark perfectly. Back when unions had power they would never been able to do that, because I would be statewide strike.
The company doesn't want to stay in the state anymore, but they don't want to lose the made in America the moniker so they're looking to move down south far enough that they can employ Mexicans instead of Americans. The only really kept in this state because of benefits that the faggot gives them.

Do note I don't want to give the company's name awake is that could come back to bite someone in the ass far lower on the totem pole than that intended. My dad completely retires as no longer connected to the company that all I could go on about it. But that'll be a few years down the line

They massively use the infrastructure that they make money off of, they don't want to pay taxes for upkeep.

They make a fuck load of money off the back of hard-working people, let's make sure they can't make union so we actually have to pay them a fair wage. In my case let's downgrade their insurance to the point where it's no longer good. They effectively want you to die if you get sick enough that they'd have to actually pay money.

The rich are not your fucking friend, the rich only keep you around for menial labor and soon they won't even have to do that.

Oddly it seems easier to start a small business in japan, when i went there were tons of small independent shops.

As good as my parents are to me, if a doctor told them i was 100% healthy no amount of pain on my end would convince them otherwise, really, right now I'm just in a self preservation mode. If my parents legitimately could not afford me, I would have killed myself a long time ago.
