  He pitched it, it was approved, he started working on it.

  Then he received pressure to make it multiplayer (presumably to add microtransactions). He refused, so the game was canceled.

  Yes, that Kojima. The same Kojima who never sold you a microtransaction, weapon skin, season pass, or even a paid DLC. The same Kojima who never compromised his artistic vision for a payday, the same Kojima who never bowed to studio pressure to make his game “more accessible” or “more marketable”. The very same Kojima who had to be forcefully removed from his own studio before he’d allow Konami to have a say in his creative process; yes, him. That’s the Kojima you’re referring to.

  The same Kojima who did not make a Stadia game.

      That only makes it weirder to still call it a Stadia game.

      And Kojima doesn’t like Sony’s decision.
