Exactly. Konami tried to keep going and instantly fell on their face. All they have left is porting and "remaking" the classics to modern levels, which is working decently but is going to run out soon. While Kojima seems to be happily doing whatever the fuck he wants and making a shit ton of money/connections doing it (even if the product is iffy).

From is in a worse position if they lose Miyazaki. All the Souls games are readily available and most are PC already. The Demon's Souls well is tapped and Bloodborne is the white whale left. The games are far too new for a "remaster/remake" to make much money (since unlike DS1, the online works on all of them). They have a catalogue of non-Souls games to draw from, but we know Sony isn't interested in that.

So they'd end up with the B-team who made Dark Souls 2, hoping they don't botch it this time and also make something better than Elden Ring. While Miyazaki would be snatched by literally any company he wanted.
