Konami being a voice of reason in gaming will never feel normal to me.

The same Konami that fired Kojima and moved a bunch of their franchises to glorified gambling machines? That Konami? Lol, okay.

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.

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.
