This is just wild. PlayStation wanted to end their partnership with Hideo Kojima. So Xbox was like: "Your loss."

This year is really starting to feel like an inverse of 2014 when Xbox ruined their public image with some insane Always Online DRM requirements and PlayStation capitalized on that.

Kojima doing the usual at getting in high places of power within good graces then immediately making insanely over-budgeted games and getting chased off for it.

No one ever actually explains why P.T got canned and got him fired at Konami. Imagine getting off the phone that Kojima once again wants more money for MGS 5 that’s already 80 million in budget (fucking insane for a game at the time, especially a Japanese game) then immediately getting another call that not only has he started a silent hill project without permission. He already got a lot of expensive set up. Junji Ito as an artist at his peak of popularity. And already put a demo out before any of the higher ups even caught on.

Dude is legit a jackass. If this is the Jordan Peele game i wouldn’t be surprised if they gave him a blank check and regretted it.

No OP is taking out of his ass.

He's a Sony bot trying to defend them by making one of the most esteemed game developers in history is actually not and is secretly terrible.

Konami have proven many times over they're an awful, cash-grabbing company who would rather make gambling machines than actual games.
