Was Kojima fired or did he quit Konami?
No one knows. Daily reminder that literally no one knows what happened between Konami and Kojima, everything is hearsay and conjecture at this point
Kojima was fired and is building a base in the Seychelles, Hideo is working on Zanzibarland in secret.

All I know is he hasn't been involved with a good game since MGS3 and I don't give a fuck about him or whatever nonsensical story he's working on

So u think the phantom pain was a bad game?

They might have forced him to quit to avoid paying him his severance package. It's a pretty common strategy to deal with unwanted business employees over there.
I don't know for sure if that's the case with Kojimer though, especially considering his prior position in the company.
>>340344149
Kojima made video games. This is no longer part of Konami's agenda.
>>340345712
No, I think Phantom Pain was garbage
>>340346527
... opinions are like assholes.
>>340344149
Kojima was fired. Not sure about Hideo though.

Phantom Pain was like an asshole.
All it did was produce a shitty time, and in the end you were just thankful it was over.
>>340344149
Probably quit.
It's really hard to get out right fired in Japan if your in management, they just treat you like shit and move you
around.
This is the company that took its beloved music department and made them work cleaning pachinko machines rather than having to go to the trouble of laying them off.

Ancient chinese secret
Given the fact that konami has a legal gag order on kojima that forbids him from discussing the matter, I'd say konami did some nasty shit to him.
I heard he got caught dipping his pen in the company ink

>>340346778
Not him, but you're a faggot. Everyone knows V was shit.
>>340344149
He quit. If Konami wanted him gone they wouldn't force him to uphold his part in the contract until the end.
>>340347246
I'd dip my pen in that ink too if I was in his position.
>>340347161
What's more likely is that he just got paid by Konami to stfu about Konami and MGS forever, regardless of whether any nasty shit actually went down.
