It isn't my intention to call you a liar. I saw it more as you being loyal to the Oddworld franchise, and your employer, and wanting to believe the best from them, and save them from any embarrassment. I don't even have an issue with them wanting to remake MGS. That would be so good for your company. Yes, a public letter of this kind was a misstep. One that was slightly funny. But the handling of it afterwards was just weird. I don't understand what they expected from posting the letter to begin with. Yes, I see that it's a response to a news post, and one that isn't entirely serious, or else I hope that, like you said, they would have conducted themselves more professionally in trying to acquire the license. But what came after was like "Ha ha. We were just kidding. April Fools, Kojima, you big stupid guy. We laugh at your money!" Clearly, there were niggles of hope that something new would come of it.
