However, Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore believe that this is not the end for the Kojima/Konami relationship. In an interview with GameSpot, he had this to say:
Unfortunately, Moore’s claim seems to be based in pure conjecture. We really have no concrete reason to believe that Kojima and Konami will “kiss and make up.” Even if they did, it is unlikely that Kojima will continure making games in the Metal Gear series. Then again, he has said this before… several times.
