Kojima's treatment of VA's has always bothered me. It's one of the things I've always really disliked about him.
He didn't seem to respect them all that much and preferred to have movie actors in his games because they felt "more legit" I guess. I've always heard about how he'd been trying to kick David Hayter out for so long and try to get a Hollywood actor instead, I think he asked Kurt Russel at one point but he wasn't interested.
When he was making Death Stranding he always posted photos of him eating with Norman Reedus or Mads Mikkelsen but he never did that with dudes like Hayter which I've always found a bit weird.
I remember someone in the old forum made the joke that the reason MGSV went so over budget was because he kept taking Kiefer Sutherland out to expensive dinners
