Games come first. The word of Kojima comes second. He still confirms that the games are spinoffs and take place in a parallel continuity. That in fact does matter. If Kojima explains that the game is not canonical, then that is what the answer is.

I disagree completely with the "Games come first" argument because it doesn't make any sense. You're literally disregarding the words of the person who came up with the entire universe because theres nothing that conflicts with it.

If a game comes out and the creator says its non-canon then that is what it is, end of story.
