Blue Box Studios Asks Gamers To Stop Sending Death Threats, Please

Over the last few months, gamers have theorized that Blue Box Game Studios and its upcoming horror game Abandoned are somehow connected to or directly affiliated with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima and or Konami, the publisher behind Silent Hill and MGS. And even though the studio has directly addressed these claims and clearly stated that the conspiracy theories have no basis, that hasn’t stopped some from attacking Blue Box Studios. Now it’s gotten to the point that the company felt the need to release a statement asking people to stop sending death threats, warning of police intervention should they continue.

Blue Box posted its statement on Twitter yesterday, explaining that the studio has been receiving threats both online and “physically” for months now, and in recent days they’ve gotten worse.
