Instead, it's a "lie to fool the consumer." You know, I kinda wish Kojima didn't do that whole Raiden switch-a-roo cover-up during the lead up to Metal Gear Solid 2. If he had just been forthright with the audience that they won't be playing as Solid Snake, we wouldn't have this situation right now. It also doesn't help that Kojima implied that he plans to re-enact that kind of plot twist in this game between his announcement of Ground Zeroes and the VGA trailer for The Phantom Pain.

Sigh, nice going, Kojima. In your quest to try and make twists to games before they're even made, you've made people paranoid about whatever is in something to be a lie. I hope your happy making everyone paranoid, Kojima, because I'm not.
