New studio, they had to get financing from somewhere, worst case get the director’s cut upgrade whenever it’s on sale, it cost me 5$, so I got 100h of gameplay for 5$.
As I said, no ads in the director’s cut and otherwise, new studio so gotta get funding somehow… They didn’t use a funding platform as far as I remember
The context of the conversation was the director’s cut so I didn’t think I had to specify.
Also these companies get private investing for the games they create. The ads just sound like long-term monetization of a product. ‘Passive income,’ some would say lol. They’re definitely not paying for their next games with ads on a 4 year old game if that’s what your implying
I just have the base, original game on PC, and the energy drinks are just made up generic shit. I have seen the Monster Energy ad (as well as RayBan and other products Sam uses) from the game elsewhere, but always thought it was just a meme.
Kojima is probably the most famous dev in the entire industry. If he needed funding he could have gotten it without inserting advertisements into the game

I got the game for $7 on fanatical last week and yesterday whenever I was playing it, I went to go take a dumb and there was an ad for an AMC show.
Really took me out of it tbh.

You only see the Monster stuff in the beginning IIRC
I don’t remember seeing them after switching to the director’s cut 🤔

Nah, pass. I’m soured on the game now. And there’s a ton of other great games to play.
