Never before in this videogame era has there been so much talk of acquisitions by the great giants of the sector. Microsoft and Sony have sunk a series of big hits in quick succession that have powerfully rocked the market, and many of these acquisitions are still being talked about today, years after official announcements. In all of this Hideo Kojima recently spoke about the possibility that his own studio, Kojima Productions, could be purchased, revealing a series of very interesting and unexpected backstories.
The Japanese game designer has not named any specific company, but it is confirmed that the proposals are so numerous, and there are several companies eager to bring Kojima Productions and his team into their internal studios. In all of this, however, Hideo Kojima says he wants to create the games he likes the way he wants, which he probably wouldn't be able to do if another company got their hands on his team.
“Let me reiterate that we are an indie studio. We are not affiliated with and are not supported by anyone. Every day I get offers from all over the world to buy our studio, and some of these offers are ridiculously expensive, but it's not like I want money. I want to do what I want as I say. That's why I created this study, so as long as I'm alive, I don't think I'll ever accept those offers ", that's what Kojima said in the latest episode of his podcast.
