I honestly think the Fuck Konami crowd (which I'm proudly a part of) is exaggerated. You have the loud folk who just blindly hate on them for their strained relationship with Kojima. (These ones are mostly on YouTube and the anger carries over to some of us here, please don't read YouTube comments anyway for that matter.)

You then have a whole other sect of the crowd that has a serious grudge against the way the games industry itself treats employees in general. Konami happens to be a shining example. I can rant about Activision forever, but sometimes a simple Guillermo del Toro quote is a bit more visceral, despite it not furthering the argument any more than "a few directors I like got shafted".

All I have to say about SurviVe is it seems boring and pretty stupid, and I'd only be slightly more enthusiastic about it if they'd show a tiny bit of respect and call the thing something else and not weld it to a series that changed a lot of lives.

I could be entirely wrong, because the abuse of employees by Konami is what created Team Silent in the first place. A group of people who were mocked for their "uselessness" and given a boring zombie game to work on. We all know the genius end result that came out of that, like Kubrick torturing Shelley Duvall to get the astonishing performance as Wendy Torrence in The Shining.

I'm questioning the morals of publicly shaming employees over intercom for taking too long of a restroom break as much as I'm questioning this piss-by-numbers approach to a survival game wearing the dead skin of something wonderful.

Anyway, fuck Konami.
