Didn't he take his team with him? I mean, KojiPro was formed a long time ago, way before he went indie, so the team was with him a long time ago.
He did the same as Platinum, they just removed themselves from Konami(Capcom in the case of Platinum), but the team was already formed inside Konami(Capcom).
Yes and no, Shuyo Murata seems to still be at Konami and Tomokazu Fukushima seem to had left the industry entirely after 3.
Also Platinum was a merger of two companies, Seeds and Odds with Seeds being founded by Mikami, Inaba and Kamiya and Odds by Minami and they all worked at Clover Studios but they left at different stages, Minami founded Odds in 2006 as Seeds was in 2007 and unlike Kojima Productions that is Kojima, Platinum have more people and thats kinda the issue people see, Kojima is Kojima and will do whatever he likes as back in Konami there were people that hold him back, its like George Lucas before and after the Prequels were he had a lot of power and control with the Prequels that he didnt when he made the original trilogy. The fact he is unchecked doesnt mean he will do better ... in fact people when left alone with unlimited control and power will just fuck things up because there is nobody saying that is a bad idea or that will take too long or anything to restrain then.
