Not directly, but someone said earlier that his gaf profile said he was logged in three times today, so people are hoping for the best.

I think it did happen to some, one of the developers i followed posted a few weeks ago that it's his last day at KojiPro LA.
About the contract thing i'm not sure but some changes definitely happened and as always when stuff gets changed people lose their jobs.
you feel it too don't you?compared to people who are trying to avoid spoilers all together no matter how minor the details:
Listening to Jeff Gerstmanns feelings on TPP on Giant Bombcast and this Snake being silent ALL THE TIME has to be some thing which is still hidden/behind story spoiler embargo
It doesn't make any sense considering how he has been until now, not as talky as Solid but still, maybe he's just super PTSD'd by Ground Zeroes?
E: "It's not like his fucking vocal cords got burned by the explosion" because there's still filler voice work

We knew Snake was going to be pretty quiet for a long time. It's said that he's really quiet in gameplay, but in the cassette tapes is where he talks a lot.
Yeah we did, but still I sort of expected there to be some sort of ingame reason buried in there.
But maybe it's all just because Kojima wants Snake to the representation of the player.
Strange of him to start that in the final game he makes in the series...
Edit: Damn I love all these cat & dog boss avatars

Which is flat out stupid. I want those interactions with characters as I'm infiltrating bases. Oiy. Makes you wonder what's going to get leaked out video-wise before Monday. And Mexan. What the hell. Get better man! We're all Brothers here and reaching out!
Kinda Funny Games podcast about the game made a good point of this. BB has been through a ton of shit, constantly betrayed, etc. Leave the players to form opinions about what people say and put yourself in his place. Who do you really trust by what they say?

Still no sign of Mexen? Shit, hope he's okay.
anyone here trying to no watch the new trailer next week?
I watched all the other trailers i feel its enough for me. I dont want to get spoiled more. I havent even read any recent leaks or articles.
Going to be hard to hide from the trailer being its at E3 and everyone will talk about it...4 more months....4 more months

Mexen, I have no idea if you will read this post or not.
Still, I want to tell you... don't give up. Please don't. I've read your thread. It's obvious you're going through one of the worst times of your life. I have no right... no right telling you it will get better... because I don't know. Nobody does. People like to say that it will always get better, but that is simply a lie. One I've heard so many times myself.
You feel down. You feel tired. You're filled with regret and anger. Why me? Everyone else is doing so much better. I'm a failure. I should just end it. It will finally be over. I'll finally be able to rest. No more waking up with depression. No more negative thoughts. Eternal rest.
Sounds good, eh? The pros probably sound a lot better than the cons. Your mind is telling you that it's okay, it's okay to give up. It's okay to commit suicide.
But it's not.
You're not a failure.
You're not alone.
Never. Ever. Give up.
Death is inevitable. One day, all of us here will be dead. There is no escape. That is a simple fact. There is no reason to jumpstart this fact. Nobody can promise you tomorrow will be better. But nobody can promise you it will get worse either. Every day is a new day. We have no idea what the future holds for us. When you commit suicide, your future is instantly decided. If you live... who knows what will happen. Take that chance. If you really want to die, it will happen one day. Maybe when that day comes, you will have experienced a much better life. Maybe one day you will look back to this period and be glad you didn't do it. Or maybe you will still feel shitty in 50 years. Who knows? Nobody. That's the beauty of life, Mexen.
Read this.
If you've read all of this and other posts from fellow MGS-GAF posters, you might think to yourself that all of it is bullshit. It's easy to tell you to not give up. After all, we don't have to live your life. It's easy to tell someone he should just get back up again and forget those dreadful thoughts. I know this because I've been there, Mexen. I've been where you are. This post is coming right from the heart.
I'm no better than you. I've had plenty of mistakes happen in my life. I've felt like a failure... many, many times. Thought about ending it all... multiple times. In fact, ever since I graduated in high school (2010) I suffered from extreme depression and OCD. Many people told me the exact same thing as they are now telling you. And I too thought it was bullshit. But this isn't about me, it's about you. I just wanted to tell you all of this because your story reminded me a lot about my own experience(s). It took me five years to get better and sometimes I still feel like shit. But I'm doing better. I've met some great people. I've gone from a depressed person living his life behind closed doors at home to someone who is able to enjoy life again. Meet new people. Friends.
Maybe tomorrow all of that is gone again. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel depressed again. Who knows? I sure as hell don't. And neither do you. Nobody does.
All I can say is that I hope you'll stick around. Death will be there for us one day. And when that day comes, you'll be glad you didn't do it yourself. I'm certain of it. Make your parents proud. Try to live your life to the fullest. Let's not give up. Life can and will be shit. At one point, you might even feel worse than you do now. But this world of ours... and the life we lead... it is one worth living. And I hope that is exactly what you will do.

Take time to get yourself right, and your brothers here will all be waiting to welcome you back with open arms when you're up to coming back. Look after yourself brother.

I hope you put yourself together Mexen.
I've thought about suicide in one point of my life. I was a total mess but now I'm happily married with children (5 yo daughter and 2,5 yo son) they're now the meaning of my life.
And MGS
I'm not eloquent as Dawg but I hope you'll think about it: you'll never know what future brings so there's no point in throwing it all away.
Que sera, sera - whatever will be, will be.
There is a bodybuilder in Poland who, when at peak of his career in the 80's, fell under the train and lose his leg. His career was over but he met a nurse who kept his spirits and help him get rid of suicidal thoughts. Later he married her and organised a gym for country boys, has lots of kids and is fucking king of life. He armwrestled with Silvester Stallone and Arnold Swarzenegger at Cannes Festival and won

Mexen, I cannot tell you it will get better or promise you that everything will be roses eventually for I would be lying. What I can tell you is that life is a challenge, and is one that you must rise up against in fury, in passion, in whatever way you feel but I do know one thing.
If you take your life, then you cannot live it to find a happier ending. You cannot rise to the challenge and become the victor because you instead become the victim. This world is a cold one, but that in its own way is a sort of beauty; you must fight to bring warmth to that cold world, to your world and your singular experience. I have lived and I continue to survive just barely, and I know of people worse off and better off than me. I have learned that tomorrow and the future is an ever-changing thing and each new day brings with it many joys and many sorrows. Those little moments will all be gone, your triumphs, your hard work, and everything you know, everything your family knows about you disappear the moment you decide to end your journey through life by your own hand and not fate.
I pretend not to know you, or your suffering but I always read your posts and a lot of posts of others in this community. I've read your thread and you have got a good head on your shoulders, take care not to chop it off.
If you die now, you won't get to experience anything, you won't experience Hideo Kojima's final masterpiece, and what's worse is that you wouldn't get to share in those experiences with us, and many others.
Please stay alive, safe, and well, as you can be..
This is a beautiful post and expresses the sentiment I feel, Mexen please hang in there. Same to you IP.
