      The producer said he was speaking only for himself personally and not for the company, so my guess is that he personally liked Kojima and wasn’t involved in kicking him out. The Konami CEO and executives probably don’t share the same dream as this producer.

      Maybe they tried to make a Metal Gear title without him and it sucked. And now they are kind of admitting their mistake.

          Are you talking about Revengeance? Because Kojima was involved with that game, it just wasn’t developed in-house by his studio, and it’s a very good game.

          The shitty Metal Gear game made without Kojima being involved was Metal Gear Survive.

      That producer didn’t throw Kojima out, everyone loved working with him. The company that wanted to make money by shoveling out small bits of shit instead of making good games didn’t want to pay Kojima.
