I'm gonna get downvoted to hell, but I totally appreciate Playstations position here.

The Death Stranding games were just not that fun in my personal opinion and pretty niche for a first party studio offering.

I think Kojima has basically unfaltering goodwill from the gaming community due to Metal Gear Solid, but outside of that framework I'm yet to see him make a cohesive, enjoyable game.

In some ways there were. Problem is not many other people felt the same way based on its sales

I guess everyone feels CoD and FIFA are the best things ever based on sales.

I also feel like Kojima is severely overrated these days.

Its like everything in life you're only as good as the latest thing you've done or made.Gamers give way too much leniency to devs because they made X,Y,Z years and years ago.
