    According to the article, Konami has out right refused to let Hideo Kojima from accepting the award for Metal Gear Solid 5. Konami has even claimed all credit to the game and it's series, phasing out Kojima from the picture. They have future plans to move away from console games and go for mobile.

    What do you guys think?

    Way to go, Konami.

    Get rid of the only guy still making decent games for your company.

    That couldn't possibly go wrong.

    From what I know, Konami lost a metric crapton of stock value when this went public. That's just hysterical to be completely honest.

    The Metal Gear series was their bread and butter.
    I'm kinda curious as to what would make them decide to kill it.

    Konami is likely to win the award for "worst game company of the year" instead of EA for once.
