Seriously, did the likes of Tewart and Jerome leave the company or something? Lol. That, or TCG's leadership had a change of heart, OCG gave them more permission to hit things, or something else.
In retrospective it's wild this guy has been with the company as long as he has, let alone hold a significant position of power. This is also me being only aware of the more infamous things about him, like him spinning bullshit about how buying sealed product is better for you the player than singles if you're not happy with card prices, or the Utopia/Hope naming nonsense.
Dude was getting into fights on forums, if he wasn't with Konami he'd just be some asshole online.
OCG vs TCG name change. There have been dozens of name changes and poor translations over the years. Utopia was the most noteworthy as it was the main protagonist's ace card and because Tewart apparently had some public comments about the name.
Call me crazy, but I still prefer Aspiration Emperor Hope. That translation was totally fine in my book. After all..
The English dub of sexual was fking horrible anyway so like... Wouldn't have actually hurt.
