00:00The Game Awards is a massive undertaking
00:02and this year it was particularly challenging
00:04to pull everyone together to make tonight happen
00:07but whenever I was in doubt
00:09what kept me going was a belief
00:11that we had to be back on the same stage
00:13as last year
00:14to give one man a moment
00:16he was robbed of
00:21Of course
00:22I am talking about Hideo Kojima
00:25the creator of Metal Gear Solid
00:27and tonight's industry icon
00:38It's going to get loud Hideo
00:41He is here and we're so happy
00:44so I couldn't start the show without getting this over
00:46We often talk about great games on our stage
00:49but for a minute I want to talk about
00:51a great man behind those games
00:53Last year Hideo Kojima's world was turned upside down
00:57when he left Konami
00:58after the completion of Metal Gear Solid 5
01:00We all have tough times to go through
01:02but the true test of one's character comes
01:05in how we react to those moments we don't control
01:08when judgments are made
01:09or when decisions are rendered upon us by others
01:12that we sometimes can't comprehend
01:15I think what happened to Hideo Kojima last year
01:18was a tragedy
01:18but he never complained
01:20He just sat in an isolated room for months
01:24looked inside himself and focused on his art
01:28He hoped that his love of entertaining us
01:31would carry him through the darkest days of his career
01:34and we thank him for all that he went through
01:44You know when I've questioned things in my own life
01:46over the past few years
01:47I've drawn strength from seeing first hand
01:50how Hideo dealt with this inflection point of his life
01:53He is one of the most principled, loyal and ethical men
01:58I have ever met
02:00and I'm just so honored to call you a friend
02:02above everything else Hideo
02:06Now, this trophy right here
02:08I'm going to tell you about this
02:09because for most of the past year
02:10I've tried very unsuccessfully
02:13to give Hideo the award
02:15he rightfully won last year
02:17for Metal Gear Solid 5
02:19I keep checking to him and his producer Ken
02:21and it's like
02:22I can't get this to him
02:23I first offered to ship it to him
02:25but I couldn't get the address of his new studio
02:27then I said I'd drive this myself
02:30out to Las Vegas
02:31to personally hand to him
02:33when I saw him in February
02:34and he politely declined that
02:35and I soon found out why
02:39he is such a principled person
02:41that eventually word came back to me
02:44that Hideo just said
02:45Jeff, I can't have that blood on my hands
02:48he had to move on
02:50and today Hideo is rebuilding his life
02:53and his studio with our support
03:00and like Snake said in MGS
03:02Hideo knows that a strong man
03:05doesn't need to read his future
03:07he makes his own
03:13Hideo, tonight it is finally time
03:15to give you one of these
03:16you're one of the most deserving men
03:18to have one
03:19you've always been there for me
03:21and you have never disappointed me
03:23ladies and gentlemen
03:25please welcome our industry icon
03:29Mr. Hideo Kojima
