I don’t think Kojima has the same appeal anymore 

 

If he did, Sony themselves would have bought his studio 

 

Death Stranding went one step ahead of even MGS5 in-terms of shallow progression & design 

 

No one is giving him another MGS4 kinda budget 

 

Did you play Death Stranding??

 

What If I told you Death Stranding was GoTY 2019 by both players and Critics

Kojima still has the pull but there is no point in buying his studio. If he ever decides to leave his main staff follows him and you end up with nothing. He still has a satellite studio inside guerrilla games working on the engine and ex guerrilla boss and current sie head is his BFF. 

 

Death stranding shallow and empty world worked extremely well with the concept and story they were going for unlike mgs5. He also said the game was profitable even before the PC version released so yeah.

@AnK that's terrible translation by that site. They're asking if he's a "prophet" and not "profit" to predict the pandemic and similarities the game had with our world when corona was at its peak. Even worse is themm quoting that BS guy as source who said he spread negative news about PS5 to maintain balance.

I’m not saying it went into losses 

 

but both MGS5 & Death Stranding didn’t pull off the numbers with the budgets & timelines allotted to them 

 

 


 

From Kojima’s own mouth 

 

also no point discussing sold units coz they were visibly sold at heavily discounted prices from very early on  

 

 

Here kojima's exact quote regarding sales. Wasn't a breakout hit but not the flip everyone thought it would be. 

 

Quote

"We surpassed the amount we needed to make a profit, so I think it sold well enough to be called a 'success,' recoupment of development costs included," said Kojima in an interview with LiveDoor News, translated by Gematsu. "We'll release the PC version soon and have already secured enough profit to prepare for what’s next, so there’s no need to worry."

Bruh Death Stranding was put out in record time considering it was literally built from ground up with studio and teams starting from scratch, building office space and hiring new people. MGS5 took time because they also built a brand new engine, one that brought back PES from brink of extinction. I think the only other dev that can make a new engine and a game based on it in record time is Capcom. But they have 3000 people vs some 100 odd people at KojiPro.
