About: David Hayter
Dear Mr. Kojima,
When you announced Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, you rallied an entire industry. The reception was borderline universally positive.
That positive reception faded. It faded when it became clear that Snake would no longer be part of the MGS franchise going forward.
Sure, the name is there, but make no mistake, David Hayter IS Snake. His voice has warmed us up to this magnificent character. He has touched an entire generation of gamers with his riveting performance.
Mr. Kojima, you may have created Snake's body, but it is David Hayter that created his soul. Without Mr. Hayter, there would be no Snake. Not like we know him today. He would not be one of gaming's most iconic, tortured and relatble characters, had he not been blessed by the voice and talent of David Hayter.
And so, with this, I pleed to you. Bring David back as Snake, so that the character and franchise we hold so dearly can continue to live on in greatness.
To me, there is no Snake without David Hayter. And by extension, without Snake, there is no Metal Gear Solid.
And to all Metal Gear Solid fans who feel the same way, please sign up for this petition. Togheter, we will stand for both Snake and David Hayter.
There can be only one.
Sincerly,
A fan
The momentum is undeniable. David Hayter belongs in the booth.

Please listen to the fanbase that has supported MGS since before it was Solid - David Hayter is Snake to us and should be given the chance to voice this character especially with the VA not changing for Japan. Even if it means overdubbing a special edition, Hayter's past dedication and connection with fans deserves better than we've seen so far.

David Hayter IS snake and all major characters such as raiden, otacon, etc shouldn't be replaced. There is a sense of nostalgia for people who grew up to these games.

1. Don't replace David Hayter with anyone.
2. Kiefer Sutherland has Jack Bauer in his CV that could be in contrast with Snake character.
