Konami wont even mention Kojima's name - watch this interview get closed down

Hideo Kojima is being phased out of Konami, even as Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain nears its release date, and its getting a bit heated

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain is still coming out in September 2015 but it's been having a rough time of late, mainly because it seems like series creator and director Hideo Kojima is being removed from everything to do with this coveted title.

His name was removed from the website and game covers earlier this year and fans have been clamouring for an explanation ever since. But it seems like that's never going to happen as Konami isn't interested in even mentioning Kojima's name in interviews. Youtuber Angy Joe was chatting to Konami community manager Robert Peeler about The Phantom Pain in general but didn't get far with that particular question.
