Bayonetta 2 Supervisor and The Wonderful 101 Director (not to mention legendary game developer) Hideki Kamiya is well known for not sugarcoating what he thinks, especially with those that tend to bother him a bit too aggressively on Twitter.

Today he brought it to a new level when pressured about game length compared to price, and bared his fangs ready to pounce, encouraging “idiots” that don’t like what his studio offers to simply avoid purchasing it:

To not buy idiots: I have no interest in your financial plan. Tell your mother and she’ll be happy to hear that you save money. — 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) July 9, 2013

He also explained in an quite sarcastic way why he doesn’t own a Wii U despite working on Wii U exclusive titles published by Nintendo:

Cuz I’m working as you say. Tooooooooooo busy. RT @gamebroadvance: Why don’t you own a Wii U? You’re working on two games for it! — 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) July 9, 2013

But he had something positive to say as well, specifically about American developers:

Nothing. They’re great. RT @OfGloriousLife: What’s one thing you don’t like about American game design? — 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) July 9, 2013

That’s a quite sweet thing to say, especially after some rather heated outings, but one thing is for sure: whether you like the man or not, you have to appreciate someone able to be this candid in an industry often made of smoke and mirrors.
