Once again, director Guillermo del Toro criticizes Konami, this time remembering the studio in his holiday wishes.
Important Holiday messages that right true today as they always have: Feliz Navidad. Happy Holidays. Fuck Konami.

This isn’t the first time the director has openly spoken against Konami. Being involved in the Silent Hill project before it was scrapped by the studio, Del Toro is now working with Kojima on his new game, Death Stranding. He also featured in the recent trailer showcased at The Game Awards. Konami claims that it is still committed to new Silent Hill titles, though they haven’t announced anything yet.
Before Silent Hills, Del Toro was working with THQ on a game called Insane, but the game never saw light of day, partly due to the company going bankrupt. After going through all this, Toro said that he doesn’t intend to make a game of his own again.
“I have proven to be the albatross of video games,” he said in an interview last year. “I joined THQ, and THQ goes broke. I join Kojima, and Kojima leaves Konami. I have decided, in order not to destroy anyone else’s life, I will never again get involved in video games. Otherwise, I’ll join someone and his house will explode, or something.”
Guillermo del Toro’s latest project,Trollhunters is presently out on Netflix.
