I wonder if that is one of the reasons the original Death Stranding isn’t available on Steam anymore. The healing items in that game are cans of Monster Energy. Totally out of place in a far futuristic post-apocalyptic world. And interaction is forced (can’t progress without drinking a can)
Metal Gear Solid 5 also has product placement with fashion items like RayBan sunglasses and shit. I think the two biggest reasons DS is only available with the Director’s Cut is that the license agreement for the product placement ran out, and fans also generally hated that particular aspect more than any other issues the game itself had.
I hated it too. I got the original DS for free on Epic. When the Monster Energy came up, I ragequit and uninstalled the game. I have no interest to try the Director’s Cut or DS2

“Drink the confirmation can now”
I understood this reference.

Monster cans haven’t been in the game for a while now, because the deal expired.
