Konami doesn't have the final say on Hideo Kojima's story. Any further Metal Gear productions will simply be a new story in the vein of Rising, which just uses Kojima's prior work as a base from which to take the franchise in new directions.

Everyone should quit the Kojima and/or Konami-bashing and just move on. Enjoy what you enjoy. Disregard what you do not. The fan idea of "canon" is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things (real-life), and is only used as a framework for structuring the Wiki around, for narrative consistency. Also, shame on all of you who insult fans who have a personal preference for an unpopular game, be it MPO or MGSV.
