Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya\u2019s Twitter account disappears amid voice actor controversy YouTube: Sega EuropeBayonetta director Hideki Kamiya has had their Twitter account restricted, following the ongoing controversy between Hellena Taylor and Platinum Games\/Nintendo. On October 15, Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor implored fans to boycott the release of Bayonetta 3, following \u201cimmoral\u201d conduct on behalf of Platinum Games & Nintendo. Price, the voice behind the franchise\u2019s titular character, revealed that she was offered a meager $4,000 to lend her talents to the third installment. Though Taylor insisted what they did was \u201clegal\u201d, this has nonetheless sparked outrage from fans of the long-running franchise. Following Taylor\u2019s decision to share her story, Twitter has intervened to restrict the account of Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya. Bayonetta\u2019s Hideki Kamiya embarks on Twitter blocking spree Shortly after Taylor\u2019s story was shared with the world, it was only a matter of time before agitated fans would retaliate by addressing Kamiya himself. \u201cSad and deplorable about the attitude of untruth. That\u2019s what all I can tell now,\u201d Kamiya said in an indirect response. \u201cBy the way, BEWARE OF MY RULES,\u201d added the Bayonetta director. However, this tweet only acted as the catalyst to incite boycotted responses. One Bayonetta fan suggested to Kamiya that \u201cyou could, I dunno, pay your VAs.\u201d As Kamiya began to receive intense backlash by the minute, reports of the Bayonetta 3 executive producer blocking people soon began to spread. Kamiya\u2019s efforts to avoid the angered attention of fans would be short-lived, as it appears that Twitter themselves have stepped in to restrict Kamiya\u2019s access across the social media platform. \u201cThe \u201cHideki Kamiya blocks everyone\u201d plot twist that no one saw coming,\u201d said Twitter user @rabbidluigi. Before Kamiya\u2019s restrictions were imposed, they continued to tweet out messages such as \u201cIt would be nice to block the quote retweet too\u2026 I can\u2019t read it\u201d and \u201cI warned you.\u201d Hideki Kamiya\u2019s Twitter disappears following account restriction It was later reported on October 16 that Kamiya\u2019s Twitter account had disappeared. When visiting the PG_kamiya account, users are met with the message \u201cThis account doesn\u2019t exist\u201d. According to third-party tweet tracking apps, Kamiya sent his last tweet around 30 minutes prior to his account\u2019s deletion. It remains unknown whether he deleted his own Twitter account or if it was forcefully removed by the platform itself. Twitter users began to rejoice and joke that Kamiya had blocked so many people that he blocked himself. Others claimed he must have given up on blocking everyone and decided to deliver the ultimate block. Platinum Games and Nintendo have yet to issue an official response on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
