If there were to ever be a mascot for the videogame industry weirdos (endearing), it'd most certainly be Nier creator Yoko Taro. He's built a brand around being a little eccentric, almost always seen sporting his Emil mask and making games that somehow perfectly straddle being a little horny, devastating, and thought-provoking all at once. Hell, he even did a whole GDC presentation in 2014 titled "Making Weird Games for Weird People". He knows, I know, we all know.
It's no surprise, then, that during a recent Q&A he held over on X, someone asked him if there were a lot of strange folk knocking around in the industry. As reported by Automaton Media, Taro replied to say that, at least from his experience, there sure aren't as many as there used to be.
