Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolverine GTR" data-source="post: 19156715" data-attributes="member: 158020">Hideo Kojima left Konami this month <img src="http://i.imgur.com/iU5XdZd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima can start work outside Konjami as early as December, apparently. Kojima formally left Konami on October 9, according to an anonymous source. Speaking to the New Yorker, this whisperer said Kojima is prevented from working on new games by a non-compete exit clause, which expires in December. Konami and Kojima have not commented on the news, which means we  can’t take it as gospel yet. But Kojima did apparently confirm his  departure, as he cited “legally binding agreement with his former  employer” when turning down the opportunity to speak out.The New Yorker points to shifts in the Japanese gaming industry for  Kojima’s departure; mobile has overtaken the traditional triple-A  industry. If Kojima wants to keep making big-budget games I’m pretty sure there  are a dozen companies who’d be keen to bring him on board. Let’s cross  our fingers we haven’t seen the end of the man who brought us Solid  Snake and Big Boss.</blockquote>
