Hope so.
Yeah, Shinkawa is his right hand man.
Pretty much the entire Kojima Productions staff is fired, they are all contractors untill december and then are let go.
Im hoping everyone turns up together somewhere. I see a lot of "I hope Sony gets him!" or "MS better hire him" but honestly, I just want Kojima Productions to be together and making games for any system that they can.

Hey guys, typing with one hand at the moment due to my shoulder surgery from last Friday.
Good news, I'm doing fine I'm just in a lot of pain most of the time.
I am practically counting down the days to MGSV:TPP and the wait is painful but luckily I can still game for a couple hours a day before I must rest(don't worry the doctor said it would be okay to play a bit).
I beat Bloodborne, it gave me a taste of what it must feel like to complete TPP. The same feeling when I completed MGS1 and 3 for the first time
That feeling of having played a masterpiece... I cannot wait to re-experience it in September, the final A Hideo Kojima Game.
I am still torn over what happened with Kojipro, but I know it will be his greatest masterpiece.

That was horrifying to read at first seeing how those Sniper Wolf NSFW pics were being posted above.
Anyways, hope you have a speedy recovery!

Getting pounded is fine.
What I hate to hear, is if media pounds him for being controversial for the sake of it.

I hear ya, but also, this frees them up to do as they please if they strike out on their own. I'm infinitely curious to see what their studio can produce without the politics of Konami in the background if that's indeed the case.

It'll depend on how much of a dire straits they are in financially. A lot of famous producers that broke away from their parent companies (Sakaguchi, Inafune, Kamiya) had to find ways to work around a more limited budget.
Glad to hear everything is ok. Bloodborne was fantastic! My GOTY until MGSV for sure.
Get well soon Duke.

Konami's damage control is in full force.
Good lord, that's a hot mess. Has Kojima talked about it anywhere yet?

Ah, I see, thanks. I understand NDAs and such, but that seems a little.. totalitarian, no?
Yeah, how Konami handles this whole situation is very unprofessional and absolutely disgusting (erasing Kojima's name from his games)
The secrecy around it really isn't helping anyone. They should just be straight with us and give the details already. If it's Konami's fault, well they're already getting lots of hate, so I don't know if it could get much worse from that side. If it's Kojima initiating the departure, then at least the hate would stop and we'd have a nice understanding.
Exactly, all we want is a statement from the man himself (Kojima).
Not Konami PR bullshit.
wow, wtf

Thanks for the links
Congrats brother.

Thanks.
Also, Konami made a terrible mistake of letting Kojima go. He is the best video game director IMO of all time.
Kudos to Donna Burke for informing the fans the situation.

I wanted to share my experience with you guys. I preordered the CE of MGSV from GameStop. My financial situation got twisted around where I could have really used the extra 120 in my pocket. So I cancelld m preorder, and it took over a week to get a refund.
So I calld the store where I paid when I initially decided to cancel my preorder, but they told me it was treated as an online order since it was to be shipped to me. Fine. So I called the number on their website, explained my situation, and was told to expect a refund. The 3-5 business day period passes and no refund, so I contact them again. I get this snotty bastard that tells me he sees where the mistake was made, but over all, I couldn't get a refund to my card, they need to cut me a check. Wut? So I press them and eventually get a very helpful manager that tells me he can absolutely get a refund back to my card. This is 6 days later btw. So the next day I contact GameStop to verify that they had issued my refund, but all any employee can do is verify that a request for a refund had been sent to their financial dept. Again, wut?
