Oh shit. It's happening.
Konami's axing Kojima and his team.
What in the actual fuck? That is depressing as hell...
Well darn, can't really look at the link, does this look legit or just conjecture?

Kojima Expected to Leave Konami After MGS5, Inside Source Confirms
Key devs could leave before 2016, source claims; Senior staff made contractors; Communications block in effect.
Fuck Konami, seriously.
I am Hideo Kojima.
I'm happy. Especially for him.
That way he is finally able to stop being "the Metal Gear Solid"-guy.
So.. who owns the Metal Gear IP ?
Konami or Kojima ?
IF the source is legit...then yeah it looks legit. It makes sense and fits with the Hideo Kojima name being removed from the MGS games, and it fits Kojima Productions being renamed/axed as a brand.
Shit is happening, and I don't like it one bit.

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 studios upcoming game, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
Guess this means Kojima gets to do what he wants. Hopefully TPP comes out the way it should and we get a last great MGS game.http://www.gamespot.com/articles/kojima-expected-to-leave-konami-after-mgs5-inside-/1100-6426024/

MGS is dead, but that's already the case for me personally. So it's actually good news.

This is actually a good point. We lament, but maybe this is his "Genie, you're free" moment.
this is good news for david hayter fans.
with MGS most likely turning into a bi-annual franchise, no doubt kojima will reduce the brand to a steaming pile of shit. in a celebration of this, david hayter will return to provide another sub-par performance that brain-dead fans will love.

Maybe developing Metal Gear under Kojima's stewardship became unsustainable for Konami.
Looks like sort of the same situation Ken Levine was dealing with,.
