Having said that I feel like criticising the presence brands in a hideo kojima game about essentially consumerist aspect fed by Amazon dot com is a bit like putting fish in a barrel so you can shoot them.

Given the choice, I’d take cosmetic-only monetisation over in-game advertising. Am I alone in this?
Cosmetic DLC violates the integrity of single-player games as a discrete holistic experience in a way that product placement doesn't. Conversely, cosmetic DLC complements F2P multiplayer GaaS games quite well whereas product placement is a bit dodgy in that ecosystem (sponsored items could be unbalanced or confer an unfair advantage).

And? What's the verdict?

I think we can handle your opinion on it, we've seen more toxic threads in the past. I'm actually pleased you're not going to gush over it though, I can put the safety back on my Cannon of Contradiction as I'd loaded it up with your RDR2 comments.
It's a shame mind, because I know you love your Kojima games, the story and cutscenes especially even though they're the weakest parts for me. But I've always had the gameplay to fall back on, which is usually top tier, but I can't believe what I'm seeing with this.

Is there no end to Kojima's product placement reign of terror?
