In what's possibly a Kickstarter first, you can now pay money to get blocked. If the headline wasn't enough of an idea about what's going, we're referring to the recently launched project for the remastered version of The Wonderful 101. For tiers over ¥11,000 you will get "blocked" by the TW101 director Hideki Kamiya on Twitter.
Here's how it works, and you don't even necessarily need a Twitter account:
Not everyone has had the privilege of being blocked on Twitter by the illustrious Hideki Kamiya, but that’s all about to change. At a very special Kickstarter tier, Kamiya himself will tweet directed to you, and then will block you forever!
As also noted – this is an optional reward, if you do want to be able to continue viewing Hideki's tweets when you're logged in.
And if you can't afford to pay this much to get blocked, you can always head over to Hideki's Twitter account and reply to one of his tweets in English. After all, he's really sick of the "insects" that try talking to him in languages other than Japanese.
Tell us if you've been blocked by Hideki yet.

This speaks to me on another level.
really a #Epic reward, thank you
Could just block Twitter completely for free. It's easy:1. head to Twitter 2.Never join.
At least he is embracing his public persona.
Twitter was the internet medium that really taught people the hard way that famous people aren't their friends.
I won't back this mch for the privelege of being told off by Kamiya, though. I'll probably just beg for an N-Gage port of No More Heroes III.
Tempted by a physical release, but I will assume it will come to stores eventually
I guess I’m saving money.... I was blocked by him around 8 years ago
I prefer playing the game on my Wii U.
Maybe I leave the same reply on his Twitter feed to get blocked anyway.
Is there a joke here I am missing? His whole prejudiced act on twitter makes no sense
I've been blocked for at least a year for free, dude must hate money.
It's more fun (and free) if you block Hideki Kamiya yourself! It's not like he can block you back, right?
I once tried making a Twitter account to occasionally see some posts shared here, and was blocked by Twitter itself. I'm still unsure as to why I couldn't make an account, but I'm grateful for it actually.
I love how random this optional reward is LOL. I don't have a Twitter account though.
Interesting game might give KS a go here. Just the Game and Keychain for me.
This guy is something else right? And does he really block English replies? Man, that's arrogant! At least he makes cool games!
@Shambo You must be a decent person. Twitter has a very strict "no decent people allowed" policy.
I've been blocked for a few years now 😅 He's the friggin videogame Soup Nazi
