Don't forget it also rode the :"Kojima is abused by Konami" novelty excuse. But here's the problem Kojima has officially used up that excuse. So from Death Stranding 2 and onward any games Hideo Kojima makes cannot use the victimhood narrative as Kojima is no longer making games under the Konami banner.
And as such people are finally starting to realize that Kojima is not very good. He's a man who got lucky with Metal Gear but lets be blunt no one cares about most of his games. No one cared about Policenauts or Penguin Quest the same way no one seriously cares about Death Stranding or even new games like that Horror Game Kojima is now making. And then there's also that Sigint game that Kojima hinted at. I doubt any of the games will succeed.
Metal Gear was a fluke for Kojima. And I would compliment the team over Kojima alone.
