“Every day I am approached by offers [from] all over the world to buy our studio. Some of those offers are ridiculously high prices but it’s not that I want money. I want to make what I want to make. That’s why I created this studio,” Kojima said during the podcast. “So as long as I’m alive, I don’t think I will ever accept those offers.”
It is also to be noted that Hideo Kojima also said that his production company is actually an indie studio, and thus they consider working alone. This is also for the fact that Kojima has been denied from making many revolutionary games in the past, that he thought were genius in one way or the other.
What will the visionary do next?

Apart from that, Hideo Kojima has been working on several new projects. It is also to be noted that in the past few weeks, they have been promoting the new Silent Hill Ascension as well.
This is especially intriguing as Konami, the producer for Silent Hill games had cut ties with the gaming genius after he spent a lot of the production money on making Metal Gear Solid V. Thus it is really interesting to see how this upcoming Silent Hill game works for both of them.
