NieR director Yoko Taro has publicly commended Hideki Kamiya for his blunt approach to dealing with abusive or out-of-line users online, calling the tactic reassuring and effective. The comments came during an appearance on the Cafe Four Leaf show on CLOVERS' YouTube channel, where Yoko framed Kamiya’s readiness to cut off toxic interactions as a protective measure for creators and communities.

  • Yoko Taro praised Kamiyas forthright moderation style as a way to discourage harmful behaviour rather than enable it.
  • The conversation took place on Cafe Four Leaf (CLOVERS' YouTube channel), drawing attention to developer conduct on social platforms.
  • Hideki Kamiya, known for his outspoken presence online, is reported to be leading an Okami sequel after departing PlatinumGames in 2023.
  • Nintendo Lifes summary credits Automaton for flagging the interview highlights.

Yokos endorsement frames a combative, boundary-setting response as a practical tool for creators navigating online abuse, while Kamiyas ongoing projects keep him in the spotlight beyond social media spats.
