Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership
warm@kbin.earth 1 week agoIt was infact published by 505 Games on PC, after Kojima got the rights to the IP from Sony.
But he owns Kojima Productions, he chose which publisher to use and agreed to their terms.

The first one was published by 505 not the 2nd one.

How does that change anything? Death Stranding still had Denuvo and both games are not DRM-free or released on GOG (or elsewhere) with standalone installers. His comments are a PR move, otherwise he would put his money where his mouth is.

Because it drives home what I said earlier.
He can only advocate that the publishers don’t add Denuvo.
You have two instances with two very different publishers both requiring Denuvo. If it was only major publishers like Sony/Ubi/EA pushing it that would be one thing. But even whensmaller publishers like 505 are requiring it that should tell anyone how expensive and troublesome it is to publish games. The only way he could circumvent requirements would be if he decided to self publish the title. Kojima may have been around for some years and have some money but he doesn’t have self publish AAA titles money.
And besides, you can be apart of an industry and recognize it needs to change and voice your concerns for it. That’s how progress starts.
