Yo did y'all watch the Game Awards? Konami still on that bull. They were classing playing Kojima a tribute song. Don't know when Konami will recover from the stuff they've been doing lately.

This is why I hate all those simple mobile games being so damn addicting and profitable. Because they are raking in so much cash that actual developers are thinking: "Why put in the effort? Why not just make a ton of BS games and hope one hits gold?"
Sony is going to become an even bigger juggernaut than before.

Konami did not allow Kojima to attend the Game Awards and pick up his award for best action game. If that's not shooting yourself in the foot I don't know what is.
I have never cared about him and also buyed stuff other people ranted about because they have nothing better to do but I still wish him the best.
Why did they do that?Quote:

Incorrect, actually. Kojima was still employed by Konami at the time. That was, in fact, the only way they could prevent him from going.Quote:

They have done everything they can to deny Kojima had any relation to Metal Gear Solid V, which is likely why they refused to let him attend.
Seems likely they were also bothered that their subordinate was more famous and had more sway in the industry than the whole of the rest of the company. That's the only justification I can think of that makes sense with how they've behaved with him the past couple years
When did his employment end, then?Quote:

He's got an independent studio, and he's partnered with Sony for now.
