Here’s a reminder that Kojima sold consoles, and people would’ve flocked to buy PlayStation 6 just to play PHYSINT on it🚀 Death Stranding was always a niche/art house type of game, and he did it because he believed in it, and it brought it 119 Game of the Year awards and various prestigious ones in other categories, and 20 million players. Sony has been overspending on games ever since 2016, and missing deadlines and having unsustainably long development cycles, with the only exception being Kojima actually delivering games. He established Kojima Productions by the end of 2015, and already announced Death Stranding in 2016 and launched it in 2019. And he actually pushed each generation to its limits and created games that are perfectly polished and Director’s Cut scored higher than the OG DS, and DS2 scored even higher. You don’t bring in Kojima because you just wants profit, you collaborate with him because his presence brings status, honor and awards to whoever he’s collaborating with. Whoever made the decision to end the collaboration with Kojima on PHYSINT and continues to fund live service that is DOA, is who needs to be fired💿
