Licensing fees probably, some time after 2010 gun manufacturers realized video games were fricking popular and they could charge hefty sums for their weapons being depicted. It's why Activision loves historical/sci-fi settings for CoD as well, getting the rights to modern guns is expensive.
If I'm not misremembering this was only the case for a little while, there was some court case that resulted in a ruling that depicting accurate military hardware in art relating to a conflict it was used in is fair game.
That was specifically the Humvee Call of Duty lawsuit. Started in '17 with a ruling in favour of Activision in '20

All metal gear project since metal gear solid social ops on Mobile used fictional guns. Even the pachislot used fake guns, the fake SAA being a fusion of the SAA and the Remington 1858.
All the guns in mgsv were fake

Guns. They make guns.
that's good for them but i dont see what any of this has to do with some moron censoring himself
Decent bait
It wasnt, but anon is now pretending it was which is kinda sad tbh

Oh, okay that makes sense thank you anon for educating me

Honestly, MGSV was a trainwreck on itself.
How so? I just got to angola part
Overbudget underdelivered, almost none of the main voice actors were gone and replaced with "star talent" so to speak.
it just so happened that skirting the licensing fees also contributed to the narrative of fakeness and lies surrounding the game itself 🙂
because kojima saw a picture of a mateba and was DUUUUDE I NEED TO HAVE IT IN MY GAME
Because gun manufacturers started suing the shit out of everyone when CoD made vidya mainstream.
