Konsolidering er det nye sort i spilbranchen, og naturligvis har der flere gange floreret rygter om at også Kojima Productions i ville blive opkøbt af en af markedets store spillere. Det lader dog endegyldigt ikke til at være tilfældet, og sådan bliver det heller ikke.
For nylig deltog Hideo Kojima selv i podcastet Brain Structure, og her slog han fast, at studiet ikke vil lade sig opkøbe så længe han lever:
"Let me reiterate that we are Indies. We have no affiliations whatsoever and we are not backed by anyone. And every day I am approached by offers all over the world to buy our studio," he said. "Some of those offers are ridiculously high prices but it's not that I want money. I want to make what I want to make. That's why I created this studio. So as long as I'm alive, I don't think I will ever accept those offers"
Det lyder relativt definitivt, men det er også interessant at så mange lader til at byde på studiet.
