Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

More devs make good games, polished ones. Why are they not there then if that is the reason?
Pretty much any one with a comparable track record directing iconic games does have that recognition, though.
The list of developers that known is small because the list of developers that have that level of success is small.
I think this is compounded by his reputation goes past just his fans.
I actually don't think I've ever played a Kojima game and I don't know that I ever will but even I understand he has a reputation of making extremely solid games even if it means he's fighting tooth and nail to continue that trend.
Because they don't have the cult of personality of Mr Kojima.
Probably because not that many devs have being making good, polished games since the 80s
