For the record, one can still want artists to have the opportunity to fully express themselves, even if they’re assholes
BTW/FYI: this isn’t the first I’ve heard the unfortunate behind the scenes re: Keita
Also, very few adages are truer than: never meet your heroes

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game.
Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

If you've got a 4K player and prioritize the viewing experience that much, you can probably afford the discs that go into it.

Speaking as someone who is not only a public librarian, but also someone old enough to remember mom & pop videos stores getting wiped out by some bullshit billion dollar corporation, aka Blockbuster, and thus finds all the nostalgia for the latter legitimately cringe: no notes
“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there
