I think you might mean "had them take away from the endless money pile". Is there any evidence of his run at Konami being anything other than totally profitable? On every individual project, let alone overall? I'm feeling green......

I'm not feeling too green...

I don't really see Kojima as the good samritan that is free from all blame though. I love some of his games but I'm not going to say he's an objectively good genius and extremely, very wise with money. 

That article is from Aug 3 2015. Seven months later, the game had shipped 6 million units. If the financial info is out there, IDK, too lazy. I'm thinking it made that $$$ back. Easy.

edit - that's SOLD according to Konami. Not shipped.
