Hideo Kojima has had a rough couple of months. While he did put out the wildly successful Metal Gear Solid V, he left Kojima Productions and Konami since then has been going through some crazy crap. Things got even weirder when Geoff Keighley announced at the Game Awards tonight that Kojima straight up wasn’t legally allowed by Konami to attend.

There’s a fascinating book to made from all this.

One thing’s for certain: no one is Konami’s friend right now.

Sometimes a writer, always a dork. When he isn't staring in front of a screen for hours, he's probably reading comics or eating Hot Pockets. So many of them.
