Its relatively unsurprising for those who've ever paid attention to the guy's online presence at all. To paraphrase: He's basically been saying that the controversy was overblown, and hopes that the game sells well (and is glad that it seems to be in his eyes) and blocking anyone who criticizes him after mocking them.

What I find funny is that he's trying to say that "normal people don't care about the controversy" and speak for them... while having over 250k tweets on his Twitter account.
There's nothing to defend about the game. Even if you think the controversy is overblown, its still a steaming pile of boring garbage as a product that continues Ubisoft's cancerous trends of anti-consumer garbage. Hoping such a product "does well" is pathetic on his part.
In my personal opinion: Dude's a hack, sellout and a loud sperg who blocks everyone he sees (this has been a thing he's done for at least a decade now). He sold PlatinumGames out to the chinks and then he abandoned it after they obviously started failing afterwards. Maybe he's hoping for some funding in the future from the west with how big of a westaboo he is, that's my only guess because there's no real reason to defend Ubisoft here.
How does that saying go again?
I think it was two bullets and you shoot the traitor twice.
I have also heard that version, but I think it's kind of silly. Overly performative anger instead of practicality—just because a traitor is worse doesn't mean you shouldn't also kill the enemy when you have them both dead to rights. I think that the "shoot the traitor twice" version may actually be a case of the original quote or a variation on it being merged with a joke from The Office.
I don't think it's supposed to be pratical, it's making a point. Who only brings 2 bullets?
One bullet might not be enough to kill the traitor. The point is that you feel the traitor is worse.
Even the normies I know know about the controversy
First question: who is he again? I really can't remember how relevant he is in the gaming community or if this is just 'I'm Japanese so I give Ubisoft the yellow pass'.
He's a pretty notable game developer (or at least he used to be).
Creator of Bayonetta, Viewful Joe, Wonderful 101 and made the first Devil May Cry game.
Ah ok, so was he one of those guys that was always left leaning but unfortunately got stuck with the retarded herd than leave like others did.
Or has he had some kind of scandal so is virtue signalling to cover for it?
I don't really know, but I wouldn't be surprised about it if he was (especially after these tweets). I just subscribe to the idea of him being a massive retard sperg personally.
I don't recall him ever specifically espousing anything leftist in the past, though he was the type to go around blocking people like crazy. He's also a massive westaboo, perhaps one of the most among Japanese game devs.
That blocking like crazy sounds like a red flag to me as I usually oy block trolls (spammers, provocateurs etc). It's hard to judge based on leftist viewpoints, what's more telling is if they retain the same group no matter what. Look at someone like Dave Rubin, he was part of the Young Turks but when he left that group he turned into a conservative, being beholden to the group mindset can lead to retarded takes like justifying a black samurai in feudal Japan.
He blocks anyone speaking English at him usually, use to have a pinned tweet saying speak Japanese and no English to him but he deleted it somewhat recently after he got a job at a different company run by that woman everyone simped for who presented ghostwire.
Aren't he the one that said he hate Rebecca in Resident Evil because she was not bitchy enough?
Also directed my favorite Resident Evil game, the second one.
Sucks, Sucked, Sucks, DMC was ok.
"Have you played it Kamiya?"
Blocked.
Like clockwork.
Kamiya is just starting work with Clovers and doing so with Capcom to make that Okami sequel. Capcom are some of the most globohomo poisoned of JP devs so if he even wanted to speak out about blacks and gays being shoved into games he would probably get reprimanded for drumming up controversy.
He is always a troll on SNS anyway so I don't care about any of his opinions.
The irony from someone who is mentally an insect, telling other people, they are insects. Because if you subscribe to globohomo Kalergi plan BS, then you are literally an insect on a mental level.
Kamiya was supposed to be the chosen one, sad.
Isn't he virtue signalling to get back into Capcom's good graces?
Bring back seppuku.
Actually thats too honorable for traitors.
Kamiya isn't someone with any consistency other than "say whatever I think in this exact moment, block literally anyone who says otherwise."
He has been like that for as long as he has been on Twitter and basically every year he pisses off one side or both by doing so.
