Thaaaat's not how that works. Disney deciding to ignore Lucas has no bearing on our conversation. I'm baffled you bring it up.

Well, no, I know why you're bringing it up: you're clutching at straws to rebuke Doulomb's argument.

You're both just as bad as each other. I did also cite it to you as well, before Doulomb even posted as a matter of fact.

Heck, Doulomb never even entered the equation when I initially alluded to it (this was before he made the post agreeing with your claim that it was beeped up logic). I was trying to tell that anonymous poster that if he's going to try and ask Kojima for a definitive statement on Canonicity, he'll need to do so before he leaves at the end of 2015.

And yes, actually, that did have a bearing on our conversation, because that's pretty much what is currently going on with Kojima right now. Kojima is basically forced out of Konami and the rights for Metal Gear are pretty much in Konami's hands to do as they please with it (and yes, Konami did indeed confirm they are going to be making new Metal Gear games even after Kojima leaves), while Lucas after selling Disney the rights to Star Wars has very little if any actual say in the direction of the sequels, even rejecting his ideas outright. And if Lucas, the guy responsible for Star Wars in the first place, can't have a say in what direction or canonicity can go in Star Wars after Disney got their hands on it, there's definitely no way in heck Kojima will have any say on canon after he leaves, as it's firmly in Konami's hands by that point. Don't you see the similarities at all?
