Did Kojima suddenly vanish?

They've literally hired Xbox Game Studio Publishing Producers specifically for Japan again for the first time since the X360 era.

Japanese exclusives will come, they didn't hire those dudes just for Kojima, Lol.

They would have just used one of their Western Producers.

Kojima is very Western-oriented developer and his games are mainly targeted for Western audiences. He is a bit different than the rest. I somewhat knew that someone will bring up Kojima in response to that comment. Should have added him as an exception

Meh. Lol. He's a Japanese developer. Unless all you're asking for is JRPGs...Japanese developers can be diverse too, Lol. I wouldn't call him an exception, unless we start saying "not you, not you, etc" and we're down to a very specific list of what Japanese developers actually count...

Kojima, despite the dislike for him here, is a really influential fella with a lot of friendships in Japan as well, if Xbox treats him well then that would do good things for helping their standing in the Japanese developer community.

Anyways, they didn't hire those XGSP Producers in Japan specifically just for Kojima...Fairly obvious more Japanese Publishing deals will come eventually.
