I posted this in a different thread in a community BBS,
and I'm not sure if this rumour deserves a thread but is anyone aware of the rumour that Kojima Production might disband after MGS5?
Either way, I can't seem to post a new thread probably because I'm new here,
so I thought I'd post in this thread.
This started popping up today and people started saying,
Koji-Pros logo is gone from the official MGS website.
And Koji-Pros twitter account is also being deleted and is going to move to metalgear_jp.
And one more interest thing is that Kojimas name is gone from the Konami Personnel list.
I'll quote some Tweets between Japanese users regarding this.
Someone mentioning that there isn't the Koji-Pro logo on the MGS official website anymore.

A person named "Junk-Hunter Yoshida" (he seems to have a Japanese wikipedia page on him)
mentions that this will be the final year of major Japanese devs moving away from consoles
and also mentions that Koji-Pro might disband after MGS5 releases.

If this deserves a thread, could someone make one?
