Before people say "Fuck Konami" You know they have the right to take down,right?

Edit. I miss "m" on headline

Mod Edit:

Dev is getting merch, Konami games and a future internship with the company.

"He talked to me about what was going to happen after our phone call ended. There was going to be a short-term (within the next 5 or so days?) benefit and a long-term benefit (within the next couple of weeks, months, years). The short-term benefit would be some meeeerrrrrcchhhh (you all already know I spent over 180 hours working on this remake for some merch, amirite?) and some of Konami's games. However, the long-term benefit is actually pretty gosh diggily darn nice. It hasn't been made super official or anything, but a freakin' internship for me with Konami in which I would do stuff with Konami US, EU, and Japan. Internships tend to turn into jobs fairly often and for a 17-year old who isn't even a senior in high school just yet, to get this for the very first game project that he's ever worked on with 6 hours of prior UE4 experience (and a fair amount of Unity experience (35 hours give or take) but that's irrelevant :P), that's pretty good."

Fuck Konami. They are never doing anything with PT. So, they can fuck off with their attempts to make it go away.

What's funny is that had they just let actual PT stay up, people would have moved on by now.

They took the 'm' as well. Always seemed likely, it is still based off their intellectual property. Still find it bizarre they haven't put it (PT) back on the store and removed the silent hills teaser but it is what it is.

Hearing that it was THAT close to completion bums me out so much, but deep down i knew it was only a matter of time.

Capcom had the right to take down Mega Man vs SF but instead they elevated it. Sega had the right to fuck over Christian Whitehead but instead they gave him a job. There are many examples of companies better handling the enthusiasm of fans. In this case Konami haven't even shown interest in pursuing PT. And we know in general that Konami treat their employees horribly with inhumane working conditions.

So yeah, fuck Konami.

Konami's hardly unique here. Just ask the Shining community how open and progressive Sega really is. Same thing with Capcom and the Ace Attorney community.

edit: lol, looks like Konami's giving the creator an internship. So much for your point.

I'm glad the dev got himself a chance to work, Konami actually did the right thing with this one, taking the product down sounds like a dick move but in reality it is on their right and best interest to protect their ip, but they are aware of the amount of work behind it and want to compensate and recognize the fan developer. Actually nicely done Konami

Yeah, so I read through his hilariously cringe posts, and man, that's a deluded seventeen year old alright.

I did think this was pretty amusing.

He said that with the legal mumbo-jumbo (that he and no other Konami employee really had control of, it just really do be that way sometimes) being over, he could essentially talk directly to me. He told me that my remake was popular (which from the way he spoke, it sounded like it was very popular) around the office and that because of my remake, Konami had a strong resurgence of a desire to make legitimate games again (as opposed to Pachinko machines, mobile games, sports games, (which, I guess they're all 'legitimate games' but you get what I'm saying) etc.).

Hooooly crap, the kid is only 17 and he's already being offered an internship. I guess fan games sometimes do pay off in the end.

While I want to take the end result as a positive I question how productive an internship at modern Konami would be.

What IP? Konami took a fucking torch to PT.
