Hideo Kojima, legendary video game creator and the man behind Metal Gear and Death Stranding, seemingly has a petty side. He has no intention of playing Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of his old game owned by his former employer.

If you keep up with Kojima's Twitter and see the difference in how he reviews movies and TV shows he likes or doesn't, this pettiness may come as no surprise to you. In a recent interview with Ssense, the developer revealed he actually has very little time to play video games these days, preferring instead to go to museums or engage with other artforms.

In the meantime, check out all of Hideo Kojima's upcoming video games – he's got more new projects in the works.
