Kojima is very critical about the lack of ambition of the Japanese gaming industry

Also takes shot at members of Kojima Productions.

Long ago he was the creator of Mega Man, Keiji Inafune, who criticized the video game sector of Japanese industry and now is the very Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear’s father, who recently fired back against his country’s gaming industry, especially to its  younger programmers.

In his Twitter he vented with a comment that “the Japanese industry and Western are similar, but there is a difference:” In the West they are highly motivated. The younger generation of Japan is losing. Western designers have the focus, ambition and the ability to make your dream come true, “he says.

According to Kojima, this is not due to cultural problem: “There is a problem of technology or culture is the ambition. I’m tired of worrying about people who have no passion ” citing two members of his team , one that only reads novels and one that always plays Call of Duty on meals. Ouch!
