“Yeah, it made me happier than receiving the actual trophy. […] Don't say that to Jeff.”
About CHVRCHES’s live performance of “Death Stranding” that opened The Game Awards 2019, Kojima said he really did not know what to say; he described Lauren’s costume, the rain and the entire set as extravagant, noted he had Lindsay Wagner and Norman Reedus next to him and that being able to hear that song by CHVRCHES with the actors and the audience is not something many people get to experience, and added that he even goes back and watch it on YouTube sometimes. He also said the experience made him happier than receiving the actual trophy and told them not to tell Jeff.
“Lauren's costume, the rain falling, the entire set was extravagant. I had Lindsay Wagner and Norman Reedus next to me and being able to listen to that song by CHVRCHES with the actors and the audience, it's not something many people get to experience.
