Having 12,000 abs isn't all fun and muscle – it's hard work, as hottie creator and Ninja Gaiden developer Koei Tecmo discovered after receiving too many gifts addressed to its fictional characters. The company is once again standing up for itself, repeating past years in announcing it will not accept Valentine's Day presents addressed to staff or game protagonists.
"We are very grateful for these gifts," Koei Tecmo writes in the announcement spotted by Japanese gaming site Automaton, and according to a DeepL translation. "However, due to the difficulty of receiving gifts and the impact on safety, we are declining to accept gifts on Valentine's Day and [reciprocal Japanese holiday] White Day this year."
