Incredible.

VariantX · May 11, 2015

So what exactly was infringing about that video? I'm guessing Konami has never heard of the Streisand effect.

Asd202 · May 11, 2015

So it's true?

manzoman96 · May 11, 2015

Woooooow.

Just keep digging that hole Konami.

Smellycat · May 11, 2015

What did the video claim?

AppleMIX · May 11, 2015

Of course they did.

Doesn't anyone learn?! Falsely filing a DMCA never works.

It only blows up in their face.

Time to make some popcorn. This Konami drama is a fountain of entertainment.

Occam · May 11, 2015

There need to be monetary repercussions for abusing the copyright system to silence critics.

If there were hefty fines for filing false claims, this would stop.

joezombie · May 11, 2015

Well that's sure abusing the system in bad faith

Lanrutcon · May 11, 2015

I think someone struck a nerve.

SolVanderlyn · May 11, 2015

So what was actually in the video?

OrbitalBeard · May 11, 2015

Complete and utter bullshit. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that video.

Yeah, what were the details?

Sakujou · May 11, 2015

nobody has saved the video before it was taken down?

i want to see it.

Someone needs to replace Ubisoft with Konami, what a disgrace for industry.

It's like they're shooting for comically nefarious...

A-V-B · May 11, 2015

Tell me someone saved it.

Renewed · May 11, 2015

Clearly by sweeping everything under the rug, they'll be rid of this Kojima nonsense!

Omikaru · May 11, 2015

What a revolting company. But there's nothing anyone can really do. What're we gonna do, boycott Konami games?

I guess all we can do is hope gamblers and mobile customers in Japan care about this shit. :3

HazySaiyan · May 11, 2015

Man Konami just keeps getting worse, it's almost as if they want bad PR. Bunnyhop should hopefully get his video back in a couple weeks but he shouldn't have to go through this shit in the first place.

AppleMIX · May 11, 2015

I'm sure SBH has a copy saved.

Keep digging that grave deeper, Konami...

Let's also boycott their Japanese fitness centers.

2thepoint · May 11, 2015

Just a horrible, horrible company.

Feel sorry for the staff who are being run by shameful, disgraceful, disgusting maniacs.

It would be great if Kojima spoke out, but alas, they probably have him gagged.

MiguelItUp · May 11, 2015

Man, what the hell is Konami doing?! This whole thing has been incredibly bizarre.

Smellycat said:

Essentially it was a protected email between Super Bunnyhop and an alleged Konami employee describing the conditions at Konami (in short, poor to abysmal). When it first came out I was a bit wary because there wasn't any real way to know if the person was actually a Konami employee, but with this? Kinda feeling like it may have been on point.

Edit:

Chilled_Eskim01 said:
Just a quick correction, George (Bunnyhop) confirmed and assured us that the source was, in fact, a Konami employee. Only the info in the email was unverifiable, not the source.

Neoxon · May 11, 2015

Fucking Konami

Ricky_R · May 11, 2015

Somebody somewhere must've saved that video. Hopefully it finds its way to the interwebz again.

Btw, did Konami pretty much confirm that the video showed close to what actually happened? Or can it be that they didn't want wrong information fucking up their image even more?

Kintaro · May 11, 2015

Why does anything Konami does at this point surprise anyone? They clearly want nothing to do with video games after MGSV. They are pretty much no longer relevant to us.

FrontalMonk · May 11, 2015

Holy crap. I seem to recall a quote from game of thrones about this, just replace (BOOK 1 SPOILERS, I guess) Cersei

and Jaime being Joffrey's parents

deciding that whoever spread those rumors should be hung, and Tyrion being like "listen bitch, if you do that everyone will know they were right."

Harlock · May 11, 2015

I wonder if they going to get a booo if Konami shows at Sony or MS e3 conference.

Xater · May 11, 2015

Yeah people abuse the system on Youtube way too much. This is super shitty.

Trago · May 11, 2015

Holy shit, that must mean that there was some truth to what was presented in the video.

Damn Konami.

akidnamededdy · May 11, 2015

Hahaha oh man this whole thing is just too incredibly awful to NOT be some kind of marketing stunt for Phantom Pain, right? Hahah good one Kojima you really done it again. Silent Hills is still a go and soon both N64 Mystical Ninja games will be on the Wii U VC.

EVERYTHING IS FINE GUYS.

Exterminieren · May 11, 2015

Way to confirm the allegations, Konami.

lazygecko · May 11, 2015

Are they certain the takedown actually came from the real Konami and that it wasn't just some troll looking to cause a shitstorm?

MisterShine · May 11, 2015

Wow Konami has really no shame.

Hope this gets resolved quickly, I love superbunnyhop

ViciousDS · May 11, 2015

this is such a fucking disaster and it even more sad/likely Konami will use their property licenses on Pachinko machines to make sure no one ever gets a hold of the IP's..

fuck you konami.

Baron von Loathsome · May 11, 2015

No, Konami, dig up, stupid.

They're not irrelevant until they sell all their IPs to someone who gives a shit
