Hideo Kojima Firing was a Hoax?




For gamers like me that were disappointed to see Hideo Kojima departure from Konami, we can breathe a sigh of relief.

According to Vamien McKalin of Tech Times the voice actress Donna Burke stated "Konami is correct in that Kojima has not actually been fired. As I stated previously he and his team are still working hard on getting the game out. My sincere apologies to Konami, Hideo Kojima and the fans for giving the wrong impression.

I was trying to add my voice to Otsuka-san pleading with the fans to not abandon MGSV because of the stuff happening at Konami and to throw my support behind Kojima and everyone who has worked over the last five years and is working to make this game the greatest ever."

The take away you are suppose to get from reading this is that the rumor of Kojima being fired was really a marketing tactic to increase buzz for the new Metal Gear Solid Game coming out. Developers hoped that consumers would buy the game believing this was Kojima's final video game and his gaming artistry would be over.
