If you’re at all a gamer and have been on Twitter in the past 24 hours, you’ve likely seen #FucKonami (or is it #FuckKonami?). Not that the hashtag itself is anything new, seeing how this odd soap opera between publisher Konami and Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has been going on for some time now. However last night, things went to an entirely new level during the Video Game Awards where apparently Konami lawyers barred Kojima from attending and receiving any awards for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
It’s one thing to no longer have a working relationship with one of your talents, but it’s an entirely different thing and purely dick move to keep them from receiving an award that they had everything to do with. Outside of funneling in money, it’s not like Konami did anything to help create the game. Instead, it’s all been the brain child of Kojima and his staff.
All this begs, once Kojima is able to legal part ways from Konami, what studio would you like to see him join?
Join me after the jump for a little bit more talk.

What franchises would you like to see Hideo Kojima helm next?
