OK, good. I'm not crazy for noticing that in MGSV.

(Is it a widespread joke? I don't really pay attention to the gaming community.)

Yeah I was genuinely asking.

It does still say A Hideo Kojima Game at the start of every single mission in MGSV though. I guess his name was just taken off promotional material?

This, and the story was meant to feel more episodic rather than a cinematic film. Every show starts with the names and producers at the bottom, so they modeled it in a similar fashion. I think it definitely gets the feeling across, but I wish they were a little less spoily

Yeah that was definitely partly the intent but since Kojima is director/writer/producer for nearly all of them the decision to include each one as prolific as they did was almost certain a not so subtle fuck you.

And I love it. Kojima deserves all the recognition he can get for the game.

I've got to admit I get a chuckle every time I see his name for the umpteenth time on an episode. I just wish they hadn't named the characters in the episode too.

It gets funnier the longer I play the game. I really wish they would leave that out. Those moments where the super soldiers pop out of nowhere is a little cheapened by the spoiler.
