Damn man

 

[SEGAvangelist]

What about Silent Hills?

Maybe they'll sell the IP and it'll shift to mobile?

 

[joeygreco1985]

Jesus Christ. This really is going to be the last Metal Gear game as we know it

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Fucking hell, man. The level of disrespect is insane. All because of some power trip at Konami HQ. HQ-led management, huh. Manage that company right into the ground.

They're not even going to let Kojima be the front man for the game's promotional activities. Talk about killing confidence in their only major product this year months ahead of its release.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

First Igarashi, now Kojima.

RIP Konami.

 

[Returners]

God damn. I wonder if kojima takes fox engine with them. And what happens to PES if that happens.

 

[magawolaz]

shieet

 

[maquiladora]

 

[Matt Attack]

Jesus Christ. I can't believe it.

 

[FamousLastX]

Damn, figured it was legit with all the evidence piling up in the other thread, but still crazy to read. Not really a MGS fan but I can respect all the work Kojima has poured into the franchise. I'm more concerned about what this means for Silent Hills on a personal level, but still this just seems like an awful ugly situation all around.

 

[ezekial45]

Oh fuck!I guess this was the only way for him to leave the series for real.

I wonder what he'll do next?

 

[A-V-B]

What's this mean for the silent hills game... Probably not good right??

Hope you enjoyed P.T.

Konami is well and truly looking bad if this was not an amicable split, holy cow

 

[Fanuilos]

Nintendo, jump on this opportunity. Fuck Konami

 

[soultron]

This is now the dictates the marketing narrative and discussion of MGS5, pre-launch. Would've been much better for this stunt to happen after the game's launch.

 

[kmax]

It's happening.

RIP

 

[dragonfart28]

'Anonymous sources'

 

[Bear_King]

Long time coming. RIP Konami.

Kojima will continue to make amazing games and that's the most important takeaway.

 

[Sorral]

No ZoE3 now... I knew it wasn't really coming anytime soon, but man.

._.

 

[De-mon]

 

[disappeared]

Well gentlemen, it was a great two decades. Here's to the future.

 

[georly]

Maybe he becomes konami's Sakurai and continues to make games for them... but this doesn't sound like a positive arrangement. Best of luck Kojima and to your future endeavors.

 

[wanders]

I think of this as a good thing

Imagine all the awesome Kojima games were gonna get

 

[Mermandala]

Has anyone ever shopped Kojima into Big Boss Salute? ...now's the time.

 

[JayEH]

Was afraid this was the case.

 

[Lakitu]

Do Konami or Kojima own the rights to Snatcher/Policenauts?

 

[Nintenyearold]

RIP Konami as a relevant console games publisher.

 

[muzzymate]

So this time, he really means that it'll be his last Metal Gear game?

 

[Twin Tails]

Breaking the metal gear chains finally

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Honestly, I hope Kojima and his team leave and find work elsewhere which they easily will.

Screw Konami.

 

[Nbz]

This is insanity

 

[wmlk]

Ugh.

 

[Chanser]

About time Kojima spread his wings.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Nintendo, jump on this opportunity. Fuck Konami

Took long enough for the exclusivity hounds to show up

NINTENDO, BUY EVERYTHING

 

[dave is ok]

Kojima.. had a hard life

 

[VideoMan]

Konami will surely retain rights to MGS. Expect tons of non-Kojima MGS games in the future. It's all they've got anymore.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Not the kinda news I was expecting to see today. End of an era indeed.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I'm fairly certain that Konami is done as a video games company outside of mobile.

 

[hydruxo]

I think of this as a good thing

Imagine all the awesome Kojima games were gonna get

Yeah in the long run this is great

 

[Wagram]

Perhaps Kojima told them that MGSV was really his last title and they didn't take that so well?

 

[Nintendojitsu]

 

[Kane1345]

Fuck. Bloody Konami

 

[GalacticSushiman]

As they say on twitch, picnic

 

[QisTopTier]

Jesus. I'm not sure who this hurts more, Konami or Kojima.

Konami but they dont care

 

[semiconscious]

konami: kojima is mgs. even tho the ip is yours, you're saying good-bye to both...

best wishes to kojima & crew! & thanks!!!!!!!!...

 

[Fjordson]

Jeez. Seems like Konami should be begging Kojima to stay.

Hope this doesn't affect MGS V negatively. Will be interesting to see what Kojima does after.

 

[oti]

Kojima going to Nintendo.

Spoiler

?!?!

 

[Xpliskin]

I knew this wasn't good.


Holy fucking shit

 

[Anjin M]

So, confirmation is made. Amazing.

 

[Asd202]

Congratulations Konami you have wrote your gaming divisions death warrant.

 

[samuraidino]

Well... Konamis dead then....

I look forward to kojima taking all the staff and creating moby dick studios.
