Konami Takes Legal Action to Trace Metal Gear Solid 2 Source Code Leak

Konami filed a California lawsuit on June 2 to identify the person who leaked Metal Gear Solid 2's source code, which surfaced on 4chan and two file‑sharing sites; it issued cease‑and‑desist orders and is seeking subpoenas to preserve data and identify the leaker, but the court denied those subpoenas for now due to insufficient due‑diligence evidence, leaving Konami pursuing the source of the leak while fans explore potential cut content in the code.

Kojima's near resignation and cancellation of Metal Gear Solid 2 after 9/11.

Hideo Kojima almost resigned from Konami after the September 11th terrorist attack impacted the release of Metal Gear Solid 2. The game required 300 revisions, leaving the team in "crisis mode". Kojima believed the game shouldn't be released at that time and had "no other choice but to take responsibility and resign from the company". However, he was persuaded to stay by Ken Kutaragi, then Sony Computer Entertainment president, and Kagemasa Kozuki, founder of Konami. The game's eventual release was postponed by a few weeks until November 2001.
