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.

The first words in that Rising interview you posted is "Metal Gear Rising is a continuation of the story" he does say it's parallel as well as a continuation. He never says it's not canon.

You're literally twisting the words to fit your view point when he's being intentionally vague.
