While I don't like the games Kojima makes, I believe he is good at what he does. It's a case of you hating fruitcake which with raisins finding a pâtissier  who ONLY do fruitcakes with raisins. Thou those are fucking good fruitcakes.

Still, fruitcake shenanigans apart, Konami was beyond petty after they fried Kojima. We all know big corporations are greedy and souless but whatever hint of humanity is left at Konami they fueled it to annoy their ex-employee for reasons beyond my grasp. Someone there REALLY dislike Kojima there for reasons which remains a mystery to this day.
