Hideo Kojima, for instance, is achieving immortality by cramming a USB stick full of ideas for his staff to use after he concludes his tenancy on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>In a chat with our comrades at <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.magazinesdirect.com\/az-magazines\/6936449\/edge-magazine-subscription.thtml\" target=\"_blank\">Edge magazine<\/a>, Kojima said a serious illness during the Covid-19 pandemic reminded him of his mortality: &#8220;Until then, I didn&#8217;t think I was old, you know? I just didn&#8217;t feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live.&#8221; Sickness disillusioned him of that. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though Kojima recovered and is now full-swing on putting out <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/death-stranding-2\/\">Death Stranding 2<\/a>, the experience stayed with him. He began to wonder how long he had left to keep doing creative work\u2014&#8221;Perhaps I would have 10 years?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s that confrontation with mortality, says Kojima, that produced the pitch for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hideo-kojima-says-physints-happening-because-you-lot-just-wouldnt-stop-asking-for-a-new-metal-gear-and-after-a-brush-with-death-hes-decided-thats-not-a-bad-idea\/\">Physint<\/a>, but it produced something else, too: a USB stick filled with Kojima-brand ideas for his staff to pore through after he&#8217;s gone. &#8220;I gave a USB stick with all my ideas on it to my personal assistant,&#8221; said the man himself, &#8220;kind of like a will.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps they could continue to make things after I&#8217;m gone, here at Kojima Productions\u2026 This is a fear for me\u2014what happens to Kojima Productions after I&#8217;m gone. I don&#8217;t want them to just manage our existing IP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I can&#8217;t think of anything more Kojima than games still coming out with his name over the title sometime in 2150. If anyone deserves this kind of intellectual preservation, it&#8217;s the guy who got a Game Boy Advance game made with <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boktai:_The_Sun_Is_in_Your_Hand\" target=\"_blank\">a solar sensor built into the cartridge<\/a>.
