Konami can do whatever they like (have their "final say") with their own "canon," sure. But it will always exist apart from Kojima's universe, just as the sequel trilogy exists apart from Lucas's trilogies (to employ the over-used Star Wars analogy). I wouldn't be so sure about that. See, if that was truly the case, then any deviances from the plot would have Kojima going all Queen of Hearts "Off with their heads" to anyone who deviated even slightly from his vision literally (and I do mean the appropriate use of the word. I mean he actually would commit murder for extremely petty reasons relating to that). Same with Star Wars. Only extremist fundamentalists kill people over different view points, so that comment is slanderous. Kojima has never harbored such ill will, nor any real negativity towards MGR at all.

If you treat a fictional franchise with such religious reverence, that that's the only scenario you can envision when you disagree with someone else's creative decisions, then I feel very sorry for you. True, he even co-wrote Jamais Vu which made Raiden the main star. His ill will is towards PO which he had Miller say was "crap".
