Did Kojima actually write way less of the actual scripts of all these games than we thought, and is he actually just a "story/synopsis writer"? and not an author?
As I see it he's basically a "Lead Writer" and not "THE writer", with just as much character development and plotting done by his colleagues. For other video game franchises it's common to have a writer who tells someone what a story must contain, where it starts, where it ends, and what it needs to highlight. Then another writer thinks about all of the actual details and writes the whole script for it.
Is Kojima, in reality, just that? Has he not actually written a lot of the words that are (translated) heard in the games that he has "written by" credits on?
