Suppose someone told you something, then when you do exactly what they told you to do, they dismiss it out of hand for no real reason, violating their end of the bargain, would you be happy in any way about that? I don't know about you, but most people would feel very betrayed by that statement, and would rightly condemn that person as being a hypocrite. The teams who made the spin-offs have never expressed being upset over it. Probably because it's not the HUGE deal you make it out to be. You, who have had NO hand in making those games, should take their example and enjoy their work regardless. That's only because in Japan, it's bad form to talk back to a superior. Do you REALLY think they would risk talking badly to Kojima like that when those guys have families to feed? They can't even rely on online message boards to do it since they're constantly monitored, like that report on Konami revealed where if someone so much as even very subtly implied they may not like their current job, they get harassed.
