[QUOTE="Shafftehr"][QUOTE="Chutebox"]The guy named his development house, which represents the creative efforts of hundreds of individuals over the years, after himself. That kind of arrogance is rare in the creative community. Why not point it out? Have you listened to Kojima talk? He's anything but arrogant. It's just for name recognition if you ask me and he's the main talent behind it (Guessing here). Just like all the bands out there that use their name instead of a group name. I've heard him talk a few times. Thing is, he's got a gig which doesn't require him talking for credit being heaped on him rather than those involved. Who's responsible for Halo? The team. Who's responsible for KOTOR? The team. Who's responsible for MGS? Kojima. Everyone knows it because he's literally slapped his name onto the work of hundreds of people. And yes, there are arrogant musicians out there - a fair number. On the other hand... U2 produces something - it's not Bono's it's U2's. Metallica, The Beatles, Beach Boys, etc etc etc... That's the difference between an artist saying "This is MY work" and "this is OUR work." Kojima is one of those rare developers who actively chose to give the impression that "This is MY work" when it's obviously not. I'm done here in any case. Kojima Productions is, in itself, probably the single most arrogant production house name in gaming. It amazes me that a guy gives himself such a publicity plug and gets away with it without anyone commenting... But, that goes to show the effectiveness of naming it all after himself.Wow, never thought I'd ever see anyone attack Kojima's attitude. Very odd....
