Nobody ever complained about the Playboy being in the MGS Games 
Product placement can enhance a game if done right (mostly in ironic ways), but if he wanted to surprise someone he should not have announced it!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
