In all fairness, if I spent a quarter of a century building this amazing world with memorable characters all about espionage and political intrigue, only to see it reduced to another zombie survival game, I'd throw shade as well.

I mean, he's spent more time building that franchise up than I've been alive. It's comparable to some hack writer trying to carry on A Song of Ice and Fire after GRRM is finished. Or that dick on Kickstarter (I think) who wanted to do a spinoff of Breaking Bad, with none of the original characters, and clearly not of the same excellence as the original. Maybe if he hadn't tried to force in a zombie game plot with a potential Metal Gear Rising sequel, I would be a bit more understanding of his complaints, but instead, he's coming across as completely hypocritical for denouncing the series for going the zombie game route when he actually attempted to do the same with Metal Gear Rising 2 (and arguably already did so with MGSV and even to some extent MGS4).
