Kojima believes that the most important thing every developer should strive for when developing video games is satisfaction. He further stated that he would never publish a game he doesn’t feel convinced by.

Kojima also talked about how painters’ arts are appraised 100-200 years after their death, and in the same way, he wants to develop video games that, even centuries later, aliens look at them and call them cool.
