I noticed another detail that I think fits with this hidden message idea within P.T. When peeking through the hole, the radio talks about how society is rotten and the people who had their jobs taken need to do something about it. Of course in line with it being a horror game, there are gruesome sounds at the same time suggesting that the action being taken is violence, but in real life I think it's hinting at Kojima trying to tell people that his job was taken from him and he's going to do something about it by what he did with this game in general. "I got a message for all you folks out there in radioland. Now's the time for action. Our society is rotten to the core. I'm talking to all the fine, upstanding folks got their welfare cut, got their jobs pulled out from under 'em. Yeah, you! You know what to do! Now's the time! Do it!" (Disturbing sounds in the background get more intense on this end point.)

From a business standpoint it absolutely makes sense this would happen.

@@CatManThree They've been making games for a while at that point. Everyone knows that games just like movies (or any form of art really) require large investments upfront but they also bring in huge amounts of money afterwards. That's how art works. If you don't want to make art or engage with art then don't enter the business, fund great creators, take their ip to do basically nothing with it and just disband their studio. That's just a shitty practice that's worth being called out. It's not unheard of for games to require large investments of time and money to be made. That's the business model they were working with for decades at that point and found great success with but instantly bailed as soon as in their eyes a slightly more lucrative short term alternative arose. I don't know how you can defend that. They have no integrity.

No one needs to talk to you as task can be delegated by e-mail and you are only to leave containment on breaks.

At least then it's not subject to the pressures of people who will compare it's profitability to selling actual garbage.

PT strikes me as being a culmination of Kojimas fear and dread of being let go by Konami. I think that's why its a horror experience because the pain and unknowing of his situation caused a great amount of anxiety in Kojima. So he did the only thing he knew he could do. Create.

To me Kojima didn't just make games for profit. He made art with a purpose. A purpose of expanding ones imagination. And for Konami to try to strip that away is unforgiveable. And just as Death Stranding's tag line says "Tomorrow is in Your Hands". We as the players, the core factor or video game industry have to choose to either waste our time on obvious cash grabs or spend our hard earn money on something of substance. On something that truly means something. Art based games are worth more than a cheap thrills for a few months.

That doesn't makes kojima an angel, but he got kicked out because they didn't cared for him and his projects. He worked there for a LOT of time, and it was all scraped away in a moment by greed. They both suck TBH but kojima just trolled everyone

@Mr. Reality Kid, you're all over these comments saying "it's all Kojima's fault". Maybe you're legit or maybe you're just trying to start shit, idk. In any case, it's kind of ridiculous to see how the execs at Konami acted and treated the employees and say they were completely innocent. It goes both ways. Kojima went overboard with the spending, sure. But that money was going into literally the biggest title that Konami has ever published that was also a sequel to their most prominent legacy franchise. And it wasn't even just going into the game itself, it was going into an entirely new and impressive engine that they could start using for all sorts. Then there's also the fact that Kojima had been trying to separate himself from the MGS franchise forever but Konami pretty much wouldn't let him work on anything else since they knew the MGS brand would make money. Kojima spending all that time and money is understandably frustrating, and I'm not at all a fan of how David Hayter was treated. However, none of that justifies Konami essentially trying to force Kojima to quash his creativity because other avenues make more money, Konami cancelling his projects, removing his name and his legacy, the surveillance, confinement and mistreatment of employees, the firing and non-compete clause, the bad word and references made to ruin careers, the not allowing Kojima to accept awards for MGSV, etc. If you are honestly of the mindset that some poor decision making from Kojima deserved all of that, then you really should re-evaluate how you approach this kind of stuff lmao.

After watching this, after seeing the dots being connected, after seeing what the hidden meaning could be behind this teaser.. I feel that the hole that's been opened for years has finally closed. At long last, 5 years later after P.T took the world by storm, and 4 years after it was cancelled.. I feel that I can live with it being canned now knowing what may be the full story behind it.

As soon as I thought "P.T. is about Kojima being fired" I immediately thought it made sense, because P.T.'s whole thing of going through a looping hall and having little things change and slowly get creepier and creepier could be a metaphor for Kojima going through his regular everyday routine, going to work like normal and slowly things start going south at konami until eventually he gets fired. Even the player getting killed and starting the loop again could be a metaphor for Kojima getting fired and still having to come into work.

@zachario223

That makes a lot of sense.

Seems that the (technical) final line of P.T. being "This game is a teaser, it has no direct relation to the main title" might have been a bit closer to the truth than most people imagined.

Essentially even the core gameplay mechanic is a testament to the house that is Konami. The same hallway normal at first, slowly regressing into a madhouse. Each time it gets less and less stable. The endless loop representing how Konami is not interested in doing anything original or new to break the mold and is content to just continue the endless cycle of pay to play mobile games. To someone like Kojima such a reality would be it’s own form of horror.

On the one hand, this is absolutely insane. On the other hand, it's Kojima.

Looking back, this is truly both heartbreaking and heartwarming to see a human being as passionate, good-willed and creative as Kojima having to go on this journey and path. They effectively took everything from him, his child MGS. This video is a rollercoaster of emotions and i‘m truly thankful to having been able to experience this video!

"I can hear them calling to me from hell" followed by an almost mocking laughter, as if it's the higher ups of Konami as they're telling him he's being fired, or laughing behind his back. Maybe that's a reach, but that puzzle always stood out to me as a bit odd and I'm wondering if that can be connected to this theory too or if it has no deeper meaning. That, and the "You've been chosen" line could also be a message meant for the people who joined Kojima in his exit of the company.

The "Ten months back" part was such a good fucking moment. Amazing video! I never would have thought of it this way.

You NEED to follow up on this with a full Death Stranding analysis!!!

What maddens me (if this is true) is Konami had this literal gold mine of mobile games, gacha, pachinko etc. But rather than use that as a cushion to help arguably the most important creative person in their history, they chose that as a baseline for how profitable any project they did should be. Kojima shouldn't have been squeezed out since his work was relatively expensive - he should have been given the time and money to be able to develop MGS5 and Silent Hills precisely *_because_* Konami was raking it in elsewhere.

My favorite parts in this was the "ten months back" reveal and the "call from Konami HQ in Japan" part. That was grim af. Excellently done.

death stranding sold 3 million copies, it is a success

As a game engineer in Japan: I feel like this is not a Konami thing, but a Japan thing. I've seen very similar scenarios play out at a company I worked for, which is basically the biggest game middleware provider in Japan.

Crunch culture is expected everywhere in Japan. Cost of living is high and the stressful culture of funneling creative talent into these studios is a norm.

It helps a lot to understand this situation when you know the culture of working in a company in Japan. It's very different than over here, and even we would still feel very betrayed in Kojima's position. The cultural context is what makes the story of Kojima at Konami so hostile.

Kojima: A man constantly playing 4d chess.

It makes sense now! Omfg, also, in the dialogue when it says “dad was such a drag”, the ending of it is “I will be back and I’m bringing new toys with me” possibly referencing with his connections along with making his own studio!
