And noone is talking about Telltale making a Batman game?!
Yeah, fuck Konami and all, but a Batman game from Telltale!

.... but Telltale making a Batman game has nothing to do with being amazed at all the new and inventive ways Konami finds to fuck themselves over and attract more negative publicity ?

Just taking the game awards as a whole and for me the announcement was more suprising than Konami fucking up, which is obvious at this point and no suprise anymore.
Couldn't find a thread about it so I just commented here on that. :D

It may have to do with the TPP that may be passed, it makes things less clear when a work has multiple authors. That may be why they are taking an unambiguous "work for hire" stance with there being one and only one "author".
btw TPP has a bug that whoever a copyright is sold to becomes a new author so they can make copyright last forever by bouncing a product between shell companies whenever copyright is about to run out, resetting the timer for the "new" author.

Since Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been released, Hideo Kojima — the creative mind behind the Metal Gear Solid series — has been missing in action. It was expected that Kojima would make an appearance tonight at The Game Awards, but apparently Konami's lawyers intervened. Here's how host Geoff Keighley described the situation:
For all intents and purposes, it looks as if Hideo Kojima has left Konami, even if Konami insists he's just on vacation. Earlier this week, a Konami PR representative appeared in Kojima's place at the PlayStation Awards to accept trophies for The Phantom Pain, and now we can safely guess why.
Kiefer Sutherland, who voiced Venom Snake in MGSV, accepted tonight's award on Kojima's behalf.
