Death Stranding 2: On the Beach creator, Hideo Kojima, reportedly changed the game halfway through because playtesting results were "too good," and he doesn't want his work to be "mainstream."
On a certain level I understand what he means, but there is something very funny about how fittingly pretentious this sounds for Kojima. Imagine making a good game that people love? The horror!

It makes sense when you realize he intentionally tried to tank the MGS series and failed upward.
I’m not kidding he made MGS 2, 3, and 4 hoping they would be franchise killers and was actively upset people loved them.
shit does he have that much freedom and control? shareholders would be pissed if anyone else did this
He probably has a handful of investors who trust him, but overall it’s his company and he can do what he wants.
