If he thinks any studio is going to pick up his ridiculous ideas for a game without having Hideo can-do-no-wrong Kojima at the helm of the studio, then he’s as self-absorbed as I think he is.

any studio

This is one with his name on it.

Depending on how detailed the material he leaves behind is (or how detailed they want to pretend it is) they could likely still get some mileage out of it. We might end up with a Tom Clancy situation.

Maybe, but I really doubt it. The only reason his ideas even remotely work is because he has a history of wackjob narratives inside otherwise (metal gear) solid games + complete authorial control over the entire product. Give one of his games to someone else to produce and they need to be exceptionally strong and resilient in the face of a team and investors that will naturally - as a part of development - be asking “what about this, people won’t like it, or it doesn’t play test well.”

The “why” for every little part of the game concept needs to exist or whoever is left in control will have a very difficult time explaining what the value is when that question is raised.

All this is perhaps superseded if Kojima names an heir in addition to passing along a bunch of ideas.

A USB flash drive is a terrible medium for something like this.

Truly brilliant minds use floppy disks

He hasn't yet discovered that he is, in fact, immortal.

[-] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

Not yet. He first has to change his name to Bigdong Foreverlive to unlock his power(s).

Cuz it’s egomaniacal behavior. He thinks he’s so cool and unique and innovative that his ideas are worth something even after he perishes, sometime in the next TWENTY or so years. It’s not like he’s bedridden right now.

And he'll just come back as a BT to ominously hover over the team.

This usb is full of rule 34 of solid snake!
