For those that are blocked by Kamiya on Twitter, are you still buying Platinum/Kamiya games? If so, why?

Yeah because blocking someone is like being racist or a criminal on Twitter
TOTALLY
THE
SAME
Right, because every time there is a huge blowup on ERA about what someone says on Twitter it's because they were being a racist or criminal...lol.
Nice try, but most of the time it's just someone people around here hate saying something they don't like.
I asked him about his creative process and he blocked me just because it was in English lol.
I don't take it seriously like many other things in life

Reading this thread it hit me that I hadn't seen anything from Kamiya in months. Lo and behold I'm blocked too! Don't even know what I did lol
So for those who want to tweet him just learn Japanese or hope Google translate does a decent enough job with its machine translation. Lol
Someone apparently tried that, and the translation was so bad Kamiya told them to just tweet it in english
to which he then blocked said person
Saying something on Twitter doesn't mean you aren't accountable to it. Much like this forum, it isn't a special zone where you can say anything you like without expecting backlash.
Pretty obvious stuff, right? So what are these "it's twitter, bro" responses saying, then?
Probably that losing your ability to conveniently follow someone's tweets isn't a big deal, blocking someone is rarely a deeply personal act, and you shouldn't invest too much into the parasocial relationships you have with people on your Twitter timeline.
In other words, "It's twitter, bro" is a pretty apt response here, specifically. It makes zero sense as a response to someone being called out for saying something dumb, although "you people just don't like what they said!!!" isn't much better.
There would be a difference if Kamiya was a raging asshole actively propogating hurtful ideology on Twitter.
In this case, it's "just Twitter" because being blocked by a person you bought a game of is a total non issue.
But sure, totally the same thing, got em breh lmao.
Also:
Blocked
making the same point I made in a dramatically more succinct way?
don't like being reminded I'm bad at brevity, blocked
Do you *really* think that he specifically targeted you to be blocked in Twitter, OP?
Right right, can you give examples please? I am curious. It should be easy since its a 'most of the time' situation, yes?

I dunno, but you seem to think there's much in the way of effort or thought involved when he blocks someone. There isn't. He just sees something that doesn't follow his established rules, clicks a button, and moves on.
For you, the day Kamiya blocked your twitter was the most important day of your life. But for Kamiya, it was Tuesday.
Come on OP, Kamiya just randomly blocked people, and he's not targetting you specifically

I refuse to believe that OP hasn't been having a laugh at our expense
There's no way you can seriously be acting like getting blocked by Kamiya was some personal thing. Like it's his personal Twitter account he can block anyone he wants.

Indeed, you're taking this way too personally.
Also, Kamiya on twitter isn't Kamiya... It's his persona :P
I've been blocked, and while it bothers me I can't see his tweets while signed in, I can't really care either. It's his account and he can do whatever he wants. The guy seems very different on any other platform and in real life. It's just Twitter being Twitter and him reacting to that. Don't take it so personal.
And his header...
so he is xenophobic?
what is wrong with you?
Pretty sure his whole twitter shtick is a meme/joke troll. 8-4 have discussed it on their pod a few times and its a total bit he does for fun, he's entirely different irl. Imo it's hilarious haha
Priceless.
I'm not blocked by him personally. I just find his Twitter behaviour kind of funny, I don't know if it would change if he also banned me.
And his header...
Another example of holding double standards when it comes to someone whose work people like.
Imagine any non-Japanese dev tweeting something like this. You think we'd get a bunch of handwaving and "it's only his twitter".
Not that I particularly care what he does with his Twitter, just the hypocrisy of people here.
