Konami’s technological level has recently attracted concern, with the news that the 3D version of its “Aquanaut: Online Aquarium”, surprisingly enough a game of aquarium simulation, takes a rather drastic uninstallation measure – quoth their website:
“Defect Symptoms:
When installed on drive C: or similar, upon uninstallation the program deletes all files extant on C:.
Our Response:
We will issue an update which enables normal uninstallation.
Update Schedule:
Currently, we are investigating. The release date is undecided.”
The usual platitudes follow, for once being severely understated. Just how long does it take to update an uninstaller so it does not delete customer hard drives?
The announcement, which doesn’t even mention that their product now uninstalls hard drives until half way through, can be read here.

Fixed that for you.
LOLOLOL XDDDD
lol this is hilarious, how many of that would sell XD
It's still bad, but I'm pretty sure that "doraibu no chokka" means installed directly into the C:\ base directory.
So if it's in C:\aquanauts, you're fine, but if you installed the thing in C:\ you're screwed.
May be wrong on that, but pretty sure.
Judging by the comments, it seems to rather more severe...
Shut the fuck up you loser!
people might try manual uninstalling (yeah go to the folders and delete the files and registries if necesary)
This problem affects PC or console (Xbox360, PS3) ?
This kinda impressive. I wonder how many lawsuits they are going to get because of this?
Well it must be quite a surprise for people installing it. Very unexpected! I'm pretty sure people will understand it was just a small problem and live on without annoying the creators : D
It's a wonder anyone even complained at all about so a trifling a bug as having one's HDD wiped.
Something similar happened last year when they were beta testing a Gurren-Lagann MMO. Apparently something happened that made Windows crash 'indefinitely', and Konami was sending out replacement 500GB drives to the users.
