Despite the recent falling out between game designer Hideo Kojima and his development company Kojima Productions and game publisher Konami, the launching of the upcoming “Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain” would not be delayed at all.
While both Kojima Productions and Konami are keeping mum about the real reason why they decided to part ways, it is likely that both companies are just waiting for their official separation come December this year before each starts talking about the falling out.
As a result, various speculations have started to come out as to the reason why the two Japanese companies have finally decided to end their once productive partnership and business relationship.
The falling out may have been a result of several rumored reasons including criticisms over “Quiet’s” sexiness, David Hayter not lending his voice to Snake, Konami removing Kojima’s marks on the majority of the series and his other works, site re-direction from Kojima’s site to Konmai’s, neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero’s claim of ‘face robbery,’ the rift has actually become a circus and many internet sites have been feasting on it for quite some time now.
