" So, why are we only explicitly caring about Kojima and nobody else here? "
Because obviously making this post means the OP is heartless and doesn't care about everyone else unfortunate in this disaster. Instead it should be a long blog post about first world guilt. Thanks. "
I think Japan is a 1st world country, just because they're Asian doesn't mean they're 3rd world ;) "
I wonder if anyone's tried trolling Kojima's Twitter, "I'm alright too, Kojima" "My dog is alright, Kojima." I mean, it's cool that he's alright, but what about his staff and all those little worker bees that make the games that come out of his head?
" So, why are we only explicitly caring about Kojima and nobody else here? "
It's not us that think that. It's Kojima that thinks we are only worried about him "
That's not it at all. For all you know, he was responding to queries to his account, asking if he's okay. And frankly, if I had friends or family in Japan right now and had trouble getting in touch with them, to see a simple tweet along those lines would be a huge sigh of relief.

I wonder if there's not that much fuzz around this tsunami because Japan is a first-world country, I mean it makes sense, they have the money to care for the victims.

An 8.9 earthquake + a tsunami = a tough recovery for anyone. The recovery effort in the U.S. following Hurricane Katrina was a mess, and not just because of executive incompetence at FEMA and the U.S. government.

Japan is infinitely more prepared to deal with this sort of thing than the US, though.

That is true. Unfortunately, all the preparation in the world can only get one so far.

I'm not saying they dont suffer because they are rich, I'm wondering whether there's not as much fuzz around recovery efforts as with other past catastrophes because Japan doesn't need the money for physical repairs or at least it is perceived that way.
" I think he was just responding to people who were concerned for his safety. It is his personal twitter account after all, unlike Grasshopper and PlatinumGames who were using their companies' twitter accounts. "
Not sure why everyone else doesn't realize this huge difference.
