The article lists like 3 offending things in a bunch of games totalling dozens, if not hundreds of hours of gameplay. As somebody who hasn’t actually played the games, sheesh. Give us a bit more content would ya?
The Metal Gear Solid Collection is so true to Hideo Kojima's "original vision" that it needed a new content warning

I think its also a way for the current studio to say that it doesn’t necessarily support or agree with the “outdated content” without removing it which would make fans angry.

Great to know they won’t remove magazine as a weapon

Well, I’m glad that they’re not butchering it like other games, but still this is just stupid.

I think it’s a reasonable middle ground. Much better than outright removing the content and the warning…

I think this kind of content warnings kind of makes sense for children’s television. But these are games primarily targeted towards adults. We’re able to form our own opinion.

What is the “stepfamily incest subplot”? I don’t recall that at all. When I search for it I just find this very same article.

I believe that’s referring to
the whole relationship between Otacon and Emma and Otacon and his stepmom in MGS2. The backstory where Otacon slept with his stepmom while he was a minor causing his dad to drown himself in the pool and probably the fact that his step sister was in love with him.

I forgot about that

Yeah… MGS2 certainly is something…

This seems like a marketing move. When the Parental Advisory Label was created for the music industry, some bands and labels went out of their way to make sure they got it put on their albums because it would actually drive sales. Of course every kid listening to rock and rap wanted "the real shit."
Here again we are being promised "the real shit" by a meaningless content warning.
It also helps Konami keep its distance from Kojima, which is probably what both of them want.

I really wish game company owners weren’t so easily miffed.
PT would’ve been epic if it went well the way.
