The last Final Fantasy Sakaguchi "truly" worked on was FF9. He was one of the writers. He took on more a business role after and Kitase filled in his spot.

They do see it my way, which is why they haven't washed theirs hands of him fully and wont untill the game is gold. They could have flat out released him on the spot but they prolonged it untill after MGS V is finised :) The dissociation is out of spite over fallout not failure to see value. They gave Kojima his own studio, his own tagline, his own engine. You dont do that for a average joe . Im not talking the series, but Silent Hills. Kojima's name being attached to the project was important. It was the selling point. It was reassurance.

  Im not talking about sales but reception from community

It's the contract that binds him to Konami, not Konami itself ... 

Recall that "value" is a temporary state. If they truly saw value in Kojima then they wouldn't go through all this trouble of disbanding his studio. Credit for the game engine goes to the programmers, not Kojima since I doubt he was in charge of the technical specifics ... 

Kojima's name is a selling point yet your talking about internet gaming community reception ? Frankly not compatible ideas to say the least ... 

Let's stop here since this is getting monotonous, off-topic and it looks like we'll ever resolve each other's disagreement ...

He is contracted "Now", before he was an employee. Kojima was fired/walked out, whatever but continues to now work under a contract. That window as an unofficial terminated employee to before the contract work they could have released him but did not because they wanted and he him to finish the game. 

All the trouble to disband his studio and devalue him, yea who would have that spite/animasity to a average joe? You had to have been pretty important for that response.
