Over the weekend we reported that Konami had delayed the Japanese release of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP. The game was delayed to make a few 'final adjustments'.

This is clearly unacceptable. Speaking via his blog (thanks Andriasang), Kojima roared, "I always preach to the staff, 'You must not have a delay after a release date has been announced. There is no greater crime as a game developer'."

There are probably worse crimes out there but delaying your game is definitely one of them.
