Those of you watching the award show may also be aware of Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima's absence.
Kojima was scheduled to be at the show, however he no-showed and Kiefer Sutherland who starred in the game accepted the Best Action Game award for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain instead, before host Geoff Keighley explained Kojima’s absence, accompanied by the massive crowd's jeers and boos.
Originally posted by Keighley:"As you noticed. Hideo Kojima is not here with us tonight and I want to tell you a little about that. Mr. Kojima had every intention of being with us tonight, but unfortunately he was informed by a lawyer representing Konami just recently that he would not be allowed to travel to tonight’s awards ceremony to accept any awards. He’s still under an employment contract. And it’s disappointing. And it’s inconceivable to me that an artist like Hideo would not be allowed to come here and celebrate with his peers and his fellow teammates.”
Kojima’s long-term employment status has been a mystery since Konami refused to declare anything of it. In October, the company denied that he had left, saying he was “on vacation”. However, it’s widely speculated that Kojima will formally depart in 2016.
Steam Now Allows You to Permanently Remove Games from Your Library
Do you own a game you absolutely despise, and want none of your Steam friends to know you actually stumbled upon the likes of a video game as vile and revolting? Rejoice! Steam has added a new feature enabling you to remove any game you do not wish to ever exist in your Steam account. Try it out for yourself on Steam's help site.
It should be noted that this feature DOES NOT grant you a refund, and part of bundles can’t be removed individually, meaning the entire bundle has to go. This includes Steam bundles and games that shares the same key (like the ones you get from bundle sites).
We would love to hear your opinions on the brand new Batman game by Telltale, as well as your opinions on the VGA winners, Kojima's reason for absence and Steam's new remove feature. Do let us know in the comments below!
