Hideo Kojima and director Alejandro González Iñárritu recently discussed the societal risks posed by modern social media platforms. During a conversation featured in Gizmodo Japan, Kojima noted that these digital spaces frequently amplify false information, potentially influencing both daily life and political landscapes.
Kojima highlighted that this environment contributes to a fragmented reality where individuals lose touch with shared truths. He specifically pointed to the reception of his title Death Stranding, asserting that a portion of the audience dismissed the game as a walking simulator without ever actually playing it.
The creators observed that contemporary digital dynamics often encourage judging content without verification. This trend reinforces existing echo chambers and limits critical engagement, as users prioritize established biases over firsthand experience or thorough investigation.
Kojima drew parallels between these current social media issues and his earlier work on Metal Gear Solid 2. He suggested that the game anticipated the rise of these digital networks, reflecting a reality that has now become a central concern for both creators.
