As a long time MGS fan and borderline boomer, I've seen some shit. And that shit makes me believe Kojima x Konami issues are fake news they created in order to leave the expectations of the finished product in suspension. I also believe they do this to let Konami try to experiment with developing games on their own (MG Survive) without too much backlash from the general public blaming Kojima.
Kojima x Konami have always had a close bond- almost like mentor and students. I mean, it even fits with the theme of "passing down what we know and experience to the next generation since we will all inevitably die" and "reality not always being what it seems but rather an illusion" (MGS2 & MGSV {moreso GZ} are tied for my all time top favorite lalilulelo ).
I can't see any animosity between them being real. Konami had no problem plastering Kojima's name all over every credit sequence in the entire game. I think the idea was to split to make Kojima Productions, so HK could catch up with other projects (DS, other games, & movies) that would make KP a powerhouse alongside Konami, essentially creating a shared monopoly between the two. At this point KxHK are probably so close that when the topic of contracts and paperwork come up, both parties are like "Meh, let's just focus on the game. I have a genuine respect for you. In all these years we've not been shady to each other, and we've made greatness because of it, so I trust you." Their relationship is different from your average everyday cutthroat company *cough* *cough* NijiHoloVsho *cough*. These days Kojima is super lax posting food, SoL, and BTS photos on his Twitter.

Not too long ago Kojima retweeted something about MGS3 as well. Coincidence? Hmmm.... Let's just look at his track record...
>Post MGS
"Will there be a sequel?"
HK: Not planning on it...
>Post MGS2
"Will there be a 3?"
HK: Nah this is the end.
>Post MGS3
"So... no 4? That's i-?"
Yes. I'm sick of this now. I want to die. Something I love has cause me to even hate some of my fans pressuring me. I can't sleep at night, and when I can I wake up depressed and scared from the death threats I've been getting over a videogame.
If my fans don't kill me I might. Honestly... Tbh... FUCK MGS frfr. I hope you're happy with the beloved monster you've created.
>Post MGS4
"Sequel?"
HK: Fuck off.
>Post MGSV
"sEa qUeLL¿¿¿"
HK: Leaves the room.
I'm sensing a pattern here that is recurring. Mark my words. The MGS3 remake will have "secret, uncredited" staff.
tl;dr: The internal drama between Konami and Kojima is a ruse. Hideo Kojima will work on MGS3 with Konami. Pomu will not only not be disappointed, but she will cum.
Kojima and Konami have one thing in common that other multimedia conglomerates don't, the one thing "she" valued most... Loyalty.
