Winner!Konami: We wanted to make mobile the lead platform for MGSVI and Silent Hills, and Mr. Kojima didn't share our vision.
'We saw all that mobile money and thought fuck it, why the fuck are we bothering. Kojima didn't want to get on-board with our new direction or our timetable so he got pissed. We'd thrown too much money at TPP to not release it so we still have to give the fucker access to the property. Despite Silent Hills having the potential to reboot the franchise and open the gateway to credible mobile and movie spin offs, that's too much fucking hard work so we canned it and just will label our Pokemon or Pachinko or whatever the fuck they are called as 'Silent Hills machines' and they will do fine. If Del Toro or Kojima want in on adding their names, sure why not.
Fuck you and give us money. Thank You.
He probably slept with the CEO's wife.
hey, Konami kindly request to delete it, don't know why exactly. Anyway the content was true
He probably slept with the CEO's Chico.
This basically. I don't think it's anything deeper than Kojima not wanting to go mobile.It's not that hard to infer what went on. Konami decided to focus on mobile and stop developing expensive console titles. Kojima didn't like it, so they decided to fire him once MGSV is finished.
It was all an elaborate hoax. They stirred up all this fake rumored drama just to market their game and have people talk about them. This is kojima after all. He is a master troll. I'm calling it now this was all marketing scheme. And it worked too because so many people have been talking about Kojima, Konami and MGS over the past couple months. Its genius. Better than any shitty tv commercial.
Kojima continues to innovate with ground breaking social media marketing with a drama spin like no other.
I'm interested in the story here. I'd totally love to read a book about the making of MGS V and/or Kojima's final years at Konami.
It's all going to be announced as a hoax. Kojima never left, Hayter is the voice of Snake, the head transplant guy really was a viral marketing plant, and Silent Hills will be released this Fall.

Rumor: Konami to collaborate on Fallout with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima
the Konami entertainment system
Konami PR team needs to be fired. They don't know what there doing.

Kojima could be found dead at his home and there'd be tweets saying: "Oh, yet another Kojima trick! Just like when he made Raiden playable in MGS2."
We will probably never find out what actually happened.
This just to save face. Were never gonna know what really happens.
Konami go to Mobile
Kojima go to Sony
Plot twist: Kojima was Konami all along
