Verlässt Hideo Kojima Konami?

Auch wenn wir es eher vermeiden Gerüchte zu posten, bevor es eine offizielle Stellungnahme gibt, gehört dieses Thema mit zu den heiß diskutierten im Netz. Es geht darum, dass Hideo Kojima, Kopf von Kojima Productions und der Metal Gear Solid-Serie Konami verlassen wird. Aber nicht nur er, sondern viele weitere führende Angestellte seines Teams. Angeblich gab es heftigen Streit zwischen Kojima mit Konami. Das geht soweit, dass Konami den führenden Leuten bei Kojima Productions die Kommunikationswege gekappt haben.

Via Gamespot:

A fallout between Kojima Productions and its owning publisher, Konami, has led to senior staff at the studio being restricted access to corporate internet, emails, and phone, GameSpot understands.

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 studio’s upcoming game, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. Power struggles between Kojima Productions and Konami have led the publisher to make drastic changes, including the employee status of its Metal Gear team. Some senior staff at the studio, including Kojima, now essentially work as contractors, not permanent employees.

The extraordinary measures were revealed by a source within the studio, speaking to GameSpot on the condition of anonymity. The person explained that, once the Phantom Pain project is finished, in all likelihood the management at the studio will disband.

„After we finish MGSV, Mr. Kojima and upper management will leave Konami. They said their contract ends in December,“ the source claimed.

The person added: „At a team meeting, Mr Kojima explained that team have to be one and make a good game for fans.“
