Kojima is one of those figures in the video game that generates a greater impact than his own games. It is thanks to the quality of the productions and the originality that makes their video games shine, being a diamond in the rough for companies that seek their talent to develop new and great productions. But despite everything, Kojima wants to stay independent and move away from experiments like Konami and its restrictions.
This was commented by the same developer in his Brain Structure podcast, mentioning that he offered deals with “ridiculously high” money figures. This to continue to be independent with Kojima Productions and to be able to develop creative IP faithful to its style.
Kojima Productions will still be independent despite the money
Although he didn’t mention any company, we can understand that Sony and Microsoft might have been interested in acquiring the studio. Of course, he is currently collaborating with Xbox, so his intention is surely to show that he is capable of delivering incredible games regardless of any company’s vision that limits him, as happened with Konami.
And every day I receive offers from all over the world to buy our studio. Some of these offers are ridiculously high priced, but it’s not like I want the money. I want to do what I want to do. That’s why I created this study.
As long as I’m alive, I don’t think I’ll accept these offers.
