    So in case anyone here hasn't heard by now, it looks like Kojima is leaving Konami by the year`s end.

    http://www.gamespot.com/articles/kojima-expected-to-leave-konami-after-mgs5-inside-/1100-6426024/



    That means Kojima productions and all their projects are kaput, including the Silent Hill resurrection. On top of that, Kojima has gone on record saying that MGS5 will be the last in the series. Granted he`s said that about 2, 3 AND 4, but if he`s really leaving then maybe it`s true this time. Anyways, discuss.

    This is the worst mistake Konami will ever make. I'm sure they will hire him back when they realize the mistake they've made

    If anyone knows how Apple fired Steve Jobs in the 90s and brought him back, the exact same situation is gonna happen.
