    I've started viewing it differently recently. What if in the first panel the guy on the left is not the Original Creator, what if he's the one stealing credit for someone else's work.

    So in the first panel we see the thief tell the OC that he created something, and then in the last panel the OC looks sadly at his creation and thinks "but I made this, not him"

    If this was true, the man on the right would still be frowning as he was in the second panel after stating that the object is his creation. Instead, he is smiling but it would be strange for him to smile after witnessing someone trying to pass off his work as their own. It makes much more sense for him to be smiling because he has just claimed the object as his own creation.

    [–]Peemore 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Hmm I think it's debatable that he is smiling in the third panel. I think his mouth is different because he is speaking.

    [–]Zar7792 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Do you see the guy on the left after the first panel? There is a reason the guy on the right smiles. A sinister reason.

    [–]repelwithoutacause -1ポイント0ポイント  (4子コメント)

    I thought that's exactly what the picture is supposed to mean. I actually have no fucking idea how else it could be interpreted. Am I missing sarcasm?

    Edit: This is the first time I've ever heard this alternative view, the first time it was posted the creator said it was how he felt when he saw his content rehosted and claimed.

    most people seem to interpret it as the OC creator telling someone about his awesome new work the guy looking at it then claiming credit for it.

    [–]losthope19 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The way I've always interpreted it is that left person creates something, right person sees it, right person immediately "reposts" it and claims it as his own.

    [–]GelatinGhost 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Wow, that actually may be how it's supposed to be viewed. Unfortunately now it's no longer funny and just sad.

    Although the fact that 'I' in the last panel is not italicized always made me read it in the same tone as the first panel, which fits the original interpretation more. The sad face in the second panel though...

    [–]thedaytuba 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

    The actual artist was on reddit a few years ago. He didn't mention any different interpretation/meaning.

    [–]Manta-Ray-Gun 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    That's how I saw it the first time and that's how I will always see it. The frown in the 2nd panel makes the most sense in that regard.

    Na man. This comic is supposed to represent eternity, a long unbroken chain of reposters stealing content, beginning at OP posting OC but then continuing through history and reddit endlessly, each reposter creating the content over and over and over just slightly more pixelated.

    Really its a picture about the human condition, that way.

        As someone who has put in some work for subreddits and mods a few, I can say that night mode is pretty much the last thing we worry about, if we bother at all.

        The way most of us think is that basically, if it's readable in night mode, it's good enough.

          For the last few months, Konami has been cutting ties with Kojima, removing his name from all metal gear games, and dissolving Kojipro. No one knows the reason for it.

          [–]two_if_by_sea 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

          What is kojipro?

          How could they remove his name from past metal gear games? Do you really mean they are removing his name from all metal gear games?

          [–]OhMuhGah 11ポイント12ポイント  (8子コメント)

          Fired Kojima. Removed his name from MGS5 box cover.

          [–]EffrumScufflegrit 14ポイント15ポイント  (6子コメント)

          we don't know if they fired him

          They are removing his name and KojiPro logos because they are reorganizing their corporate structure to a top down management system and ALL of their studios went in house, not just KojiPro

          [–]OmegaX123 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

          KojiPro was dismantled, not 'brought in-house'. And it's confirmed Kojima no longer works with Konami, and he has iirc expressed regret over that, so it's safe to assume he was fired rather than quitting.

          [–]EffrumScufflegrit 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

          That happened to all the Konami owned studios. By dismantled, they mean the business unit itself was absorbed back in.

          No, Kojima hasn't made any kind of statement about regret. It has NOT been confirmed. Actually the only thing he's said on the matter was back in March where he confirmed he was still working on MGS V

          Kojima IS still currently working at Konami and still at work on MGS V. He made the E3 trailer which was completed not all that long before E3. He is most likely parting ways in December, 3 months after V's release.

          It was said that the Konami owned devs are moving to a contractor basis, not fired. This again is due to them switching capacity over to mobile and casino gaming as a business focus.

            They're huge in Japan, along with casino games. Konami actually makes boat loads more off that than their console games, why wouldn't they invest more of their resources in the sectors that net them more profit? And they're going to continue consoles, just not nearly as much.

            I always said konami was a horrible company that were lucky enough to have a couple of insanely talented people. I figured they would be screwed if IGA and Kojima left. I guess I get to see what happens :)

            [–]gravshift 11ポイント12ポイント  (4子コメント)

            A current trend with Japanese game legends leaving to either do indie titles or work with a western studio. And the International market us where they make all their money.

            Luckily, it is a good time for import gamers in the states right now since we can get niche market stuff now.

            For example, Fairy Fencer F (action RPG by the same guys who did Hyperdimensional Neptunia) is in beta for a steam release.

            [–]CFguy1 26ポイント27ポイント  (3子コメント)

            No, the game is finished and he worked on the entire thing. They just took "A Hideo Kojima game" off of the title on the front and removed all Kojima productions insignia's on the cover. His name is all over the actual game still apparently, hopefully.

            EDIT: Spelling.

            Guys, slow down. Kojima probably just wanted to keep his own namesake before Konami ate his company. It makes sense since Kojima will probably make videogames in the future.

            I'm kind of miffed he didn't use David Hayter to voice anyone in this version but Kojima doesn't deserve what Konami is doing to him.

            [–]wtbTruth 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

            Hold on, are they removing his name from the game entirely, or just the front cover? Cause it makes sense for them to just remove it from the cover, even if it is kind of a dick move.

            [–]dangerdark 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

            I assume Kojima wanted his name off of it. Why wouldn't Konami want his name on it unless it was part of a negotiation? That's a big name to have on your box.

            My theory is that Kojima actually ended the story and tied everything up, leaving no room for a direct sequel. Konami probably didn't like it, changed something important, and Kojima bails.

            Again. Just a theory. I have no evidence.

              It is mostly unclear but the main point of contention for most of the people who left Konami is that they are going to stop making AAA games and design exclusively for cell phones.

              Well... I'm sure he did not 'made' that. There was a lot of people who wrote code and design things for that game. Making games (and in general every product) is not only being the director or having the idea

              I'm pretty sure it should be the other way around, the last panel represents the confused person realizing he actually made the original material

              But I understand why you'd make it this way, should change the face a little in the last panel tho

              Although I love the Metal Gear series, I wish Konami would do something with Snatcher. Release a HD version, a sequel, something. An English version of Policenauts would be nice too.

              Ok, that dude didn't "make" the game, lots of people did. This idol worship shit is fucking stupid.
