Just last week, Burke caused quite a commotion after posting on Twitter that Konami had fired the Metal Gear Solid Burke has since taken back those claims. "Konami is correct in that Kojima has not actually been fired. As I stated previously he and his team are still working hard on getting the game out. My sincere apologies to Konami, Hideo Kojima and the fans for giving the wrong impression," she said in a post on Facebook "I was trying to add my voice to Otsuka-san pleading with the fans to not abandon MGSV because of the stuff happening at Konami and to throw my support behind Kojima and everyone who has worked over the last five years and is working to make this game the greatest ever."Kojima himself confirmed in a statement that he was still '100 per cent involved' in the completion of The Phantom Pain, and was 'determined to make it the greatest game I've directed to date'. So my apologies for upsetting you all."Earlier this month, Konami started adding Mr. Kojima's name back on several Metal Gear Solid products after removing his name and his studio logo from nearly all of the franchise's marketing material.
