The same Konami that fired Kojima and moved a bunch of their franchises to glorified gambling machines? That Konami? Lol, okay.
I wonder how much of a problem Kojima actually was with asking more funds for MGSV. The game was amazing but was released with 2/3rds of its planned content. Seems to me Konami did a big mistake with not letting Kojima just finish the game on his own terms.
If I recall correctly they could have even let him finish it for free with his own studio but they refused that as well.
Konami being a voice of reason in gaming will never feel normal to me.
... What? That can't be right, konami wouldn't say something like that! Have i, like, shifted or something?
Pachinko machine Konami's loyalty blows in the wind I would say. But I guess that could be said for most companies that are loyal to a board rather than customers or good long term business.
