Decade of Metal Gear Solid V Discourse Shows Kojima's Intentional Close

A post by @THEVENOM3000 sparked replies claiming the 2015 game is unfinished because Konami fired Kojima for going over budget and time. @GARRYSWOOD and @d20woodworking said the studio forced mission replays to pad length. @Lostfutures1 replied that Kojima deliberately mirrored the incomplete structure of Moby-Dick and publicly stated the game was complete. @RSolidSnake11 compared the complaints to the FFXV cycle of unmet expectations. @PantsuVor noted similar cuts in Halo 2 still left that title considered finished.
