This week has been rich in emotions on the social network Twitter. Between the ZEvent whose association is problematic and Damien Rieu who confuses the alleged assassin of Shinzo Abe with the famous creator of Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima, the news of the network is hotter than ever.

Kojima Productions responds to Damien Rieu
If you thought it wouldn’t happen, you were wrong: quite normal given the seriousness of the confusion caused by Damien Rieu’s tweet.

Furthermore, Kojima Productions reserves the right to take legal action as a result of this story.
