Hideki Kamiya, der slog sit navn fast hos Capcom for senere at grundlægge Platinum Games, er aldrig bange for at sige sin mening.
Nu kommenterer han på den mediestorm, der opstod, da den tidligere stemmeskuespiller til Bayonetta, Hellena Taylor, påstod, at hun blot var blevet tilbudt $4.000 for at lægge stemme til karakteren i Bayonetta 3 - en rolle, der i stedet gik til Jennifer Hale.
Taylor endte sidenhen med at trække delvist i land, da det kom frem, at hun havde løjet om hendes betaling, men inden da havde mange på de sociale medier været ude og rette kritik af Hideki Kamiya, hvilket spilskaberen udtaler sig om i en ny video. Det rapporterer Nintendo Life.
Kamiya holder sig ikke tilbage og kalder hele miseren for "seriously lame." Hvad der især irriterer ham var, at mange af hans kritikere ikke undskyldte eller forholdt sig til de nye oplysninger, efter at Taylors løgne var kommet frem i lyset. Ifølge Kamiya slettede de blot deres Tweets i stedet.
It was wild. My Twitter timeline was just flying by in real time - it was insane. Just nonstop scrolling. I kept blocking nonstop, though. But even my speed I couldn't keep up. So I was like 'What?! They're coming in faster than I can block them? WHAT?!'
Anyway, that's not the point. People were saying whatever they wanted. Even famous people were jumping in and throwing comments at me. And then, once things calmed down, I went back and looked - and they had quietly deleted their tweets. Hey, apologise to me first before you do anything sneaky. That's some real coward shit.

Hideki Kamiya har i dag stiftet et nyt studie Clovers, der arbejder på en efterfølger til PS2-hittet Okami.
