How Death Stranding Acknowledges Geoff Keighley's Obsession With Hideo Kojima

While his past work as a host for GameTrailers TV and G4tv.com as well as his freelance articles for other gaming websites deserve praise, Keighley's other claim to fame is his undying friendship and obsession with game director Hideo Kojima.

In commemoration of this friendship, Kojima's Death Stranding doesn't just give a nod to Geoff Keighley, it actually puts him in the game.
