It’s a teaser for a game that never came out, I’m pretty sure he had complications with studios. What’s the point of keeping a short demo of a game that was canceled?
Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership

Said the guy who released a horror game teaser then took it off the store…
Death stranding sits at about 10k votes to bring to gog.com but nah. Gotta have that DRM.
But nice try Kojima. You almost got me.

P.T. was the announcement teaser that Kojima was to be directing Silent Hills with del Toro but then Konami cancelled it as the company exited the video game industry and Kojima left to found his own studio.
Why blame Kojima for something Konami did without their involvement at all and long after they’d left the company?

Kojima is a they?

Everyone is a they. It’s been a singular third person pronoun since the 1300s.

The demo is really fucking good and consoles that still have it installed go for a high price. There is demand for it.
What‘s the point of keeping a good game, you ask? Are you serious?

Complete fucking bullshit. Konami literally did that and caused a break with Kojima because of it

He took it off the store? I thought it was the company, after he was fired.

It was, this guy is just inventing reasons to be mad at the wrong person.

I’ll call bull on the game removal front. Pretty sure that was Konami being shitsticks when they had the falling out.
You are spot on the GoG front though. If he really cared about ownership he would of put it on the storefront and not hid behind the DRM.

Fair enough. Apparently that was 12 years ago already. Damn, where did the years go?
But yeah Kojima is just doing cheap lip service here. He never cared about game preservation at all. Sorry for the people here that worship him like a god but he never chose game preservation when he actually did have full reign.
