Konami doesn't understand how big Kojima really was.
MOST people who played MGS3 back on the PS2 to the end will instantly become a loyal fan of Kojima. And out of respect for him, they will not buy MGS Delta. That's how much of a impact he made. That's how good MGS3 was.
Getting rid of Kojima on bad terms was the worst mistake they could make. He was basically Konami's superstar. People will remember what Konami did to him.
