has anyone posted the "kojima and his team are just contracters now" story?

quote:

A fallout between Kojima Productions and its owning publisher, Konami, has led to senior staff at the studio being restricted access to corporate internet, emails, and phone, GameSpot understands.

Along with the restricted communications, key developers at the studio, such as Hideo Kojima, will now have limited opportunities to lend their appearance to promotions of the studio’s upcoming game, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

Power struggles between Kojima Productions and Konami have led the publisher to make drastic changes, including the employee status of its Metal Gear team. Some senior staff at the studio, including Kojima, now essentially work as contractors, not permanent employees.

The extraordinary measures were revealed by a source within the studio, speaking to GameSpot on the condition of anonymity. The person explained that, once the Phantom Pain project is finished, in all likelihood the management at the studio will disband.

"After we finish MGSV, Mr. Kojima and upper management will leave Konami. They said their contract ends in December," the source claimed.

The person added: "At a team meeting, Mr Kojima explained that team have to be one and make a good game for fans."

In other developments, Konami has begun removing the Kojima Productions logo from all official Metal Gear art, and it has removed Kojima from its executive team. Meanwhile, Kojima Productions’ branding has also been removed from Twitter, the official Metal Gear website, and even the LA office listing.

Representatives for Konami would not discuss specifics of the matter when contacted by GameSpot. The corporation has offered a statement, however.

It reads: "Konami Digital Entertainment, including Mr. Kojima, will continue to develop and support Metal Gear products. Please look forward to future announcements."

The corporation's public relations team, based in Tokyo, is unavailable at the time of going to press, due to it being past midnight local time.

Metal Gear Solid 5, Kojima’s latest iteration in the famed series, ships in September on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC.

An expanded statement from Konami follows: "As we have already announced, we are shifting our production structure to a headquarters-controlled system, in order to establish a steadfast operating base capable of responding to the rapid market changes that surround our digital entertainment business. Konami Digital Entertainment (including Mr. Kojima), will continue to develop and support Metal Gear products. Please look forward to future announcements."

that's the thing: it's an open standard. so nvidia could adopt it and kill Gsync and everything would be great

I didn't give a gently caress once Lucasarts finally closed their door a couple of years ago, in fact I was elated that a company like that could finally die and wither away. I am however, devastated that Kojima Productions is ending. I'm not on the verge of tears just yet, but let me tell you a little sotry about my first game I got for the PSX -- it was Metal gear Solid. To this day it remains my favorite game of all time. The 2nd was good, and thr 3rd is deemed the best by the gaming community; however MGS was the one that started it all for me. It lead me into deeper Konami franchises like Silent Hill (speaking of which wasn't the latest SH Kojima-inspired?) It saddens me to think such a company that holds such nostalgia in my heart is going away after 20 odd years. Where does Kojima go from here? Who knows, but the Metal Gear franchise holds such a prominent place in my heart, but I certainly cannot deny that it is broken at the moment. Kojima is obviously a talented developer so even though he is gone from Konami the future is relatively positive for him. I am not so sure, at the moment, willing to forget the past however.
