Tidligere Konami-medarbejder husker hvordan det var at tage P.T. offline

Silent Hills blev afsløret via en "playable teaser", eller "P.T." der blev udgivet under falsk pseudonym under Gamescom tilbage i 2014, og denne korte oplevelse vil uden tvivl gå over i historien som en af de mest effektive afsløringer til dato.

Men fordi samarbejdet mellem Konami og Kojima faldt fra hinanden, så blev spillet ikke bare til noget, men Konami instruerede Sony i både at fjerne P.T. fra PSN, men at blokere for redownloads. For nylig markerede Kojima P.T.'s otte-års fødselsdag, og netop den medarbejder der fik Sony til at fjerne spillet har nu udtalt sig.

"Fun fact: since I was the [first-party] lead at the time at Konami, I helped get this product set up on the storefronts, fake publisher and everything. And I was the one who had to call Sony and ask them to take it down and block redownloads. That was a super fun conversation," skriver Pearl L.

Desuden skriver hun, at hun ville ønske at tingene var gået anderledes, men Konami er tilsyneladende ikke færdige med at være bitre, for Pearl har slettet alle disse indlæg, der nu kan findes via VGC.

"Believe me, I wish it had gone differently too. t was definitely really fun to be plotting this secret cool thing for the fans. it was amazing to see everyone come together to try to figure out the experience and seem them come away with so much love for it! i'm super grateful I got to be a part of that in some small way."
