GameDot writes: "While only speculation on my behalf, it is one of many possible outcomes that can be drawn from some recent information posted by the man himself Hideo Kojima over on his twitter account. Saying "My next project will challenge a certain industry taboo." While some speculate the next MGS will contain a steamy sex scene, I found the use of 'industry taboo', and 'not game taboo' an interesting choice of words. As nothing would be more taboo in the gaming industry than killing off a character that has earned your company millions. So what could possibly give this possibility weight?" Read on.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
I don't think I could take Snake actually dying, obviously he has to die (given how life works and the events of MGS4) but I don't think I could deal with that presented on screen, on an emotional level, after the countless hours and years with the characters.
if Snake dies, Metal Gear dies along with it and there will be no use for Kojima anymore :@ Kojima better not screw it up.
We don't need another game that follows (Solid) Snakes story. He already did and accomplished his goals, to speculate on what happens at the end of the game is nothing but the upmost obvious of conclusions .Creating some twisted excuse just to bring him back in action would fack up his farewell.
As for Big Boss, making more games about him kills his enigmatic status. Although I am excited about Peace Walker, I feel as he shouldn't be mingling with the past and start creating different IPs.
sam fisher kills snake.he hangs him with his own girly hairband.makes it look like an accident 2.coroner concludes that he died from an overly tight cat-suit worn while doin an impression of beyonce's all the ladies
Since when was killing the protagonist taboo? Happens ALL the time.
If a game, or any media franchise, for that matter, is truly great, it stands on the merits of the sum of all it's parts. No single character, set-piece, or symbol should dominate a game so much that the game relies on or is defined by it.
Why do you think Warcraft has been going so strong? The majority of the characters have been killed off. Star Trek, as much as I hate it, is another example.
