Yesterday <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/tech\/elements\/why-did-hideo-kojima-leave-konami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New Yorker<\/a> published a story saying that Kojima had officially parted ways with the company earlier this month.

Though if that were the case you&#8217;d think that <em>somebody<\/em> at Konami would have been aware of it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s also possible that both things are true. Kotaku&#8217;s sources say that Kojima&#8217;s contract with Konami runs through the end of the year. With less than three months left, and Kojima&#8217;s last major project complete, there&#8217;s probably little Kojima could do that is of use to the company, yet they still have to pay him through December. Konami isn&#8217;t the first employer to find themselves in this position. Sending the employee home to finish out his contract is not a new solution either. Technically he&#8217;s on vacation, and still an employee, so everything Konami said is true. But he won&#8217;t be coming back.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible that Kojima made a unilateral decision to &#8220;go on vacation&#8221; for the remainder of his time. If nothing he had left to work on excited him, he may have just decided to use up all his vacation time before the contract ends. It&#8217;s not like Konami is going to fire him at this point.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another chapter has been added to the bizarre situation between Hideo Kojima and his bosses at Konami.
