For his efforts in the field of game design for over twenty years, Hideo Kojima has been handed the prize for Lifetime Achievement at the ninth annual Game Developers Choice Awards.
Yet Kojima, the puppeteer behind that mesh of narrative strings known as Metal Gear Solid, announced at the ceremony that his work would continue for a long time.
Kojima, 45, said that he would never retire from the industry, and would keep making games until the day he dies. Such a vow is not rare for an industry built by individuals whose pastimes have developed into careers, yet fans of Kojima's work will no doubt be delighted that his presence in the games industry could very well be counted in decades.
