Find an employer like Sony. A number of company employees have taken to Twitter to share photos of an amazing replica tsuba (janitor) that they were gifted to be one of the first 50 employees on platinum Ghost of Tsushima.
Without further ado, check out the images below (thanks, SP1st):
Sony recently ran an internal competition: The first 50 players to unlock the platinum trophy for Ghost of Tsushima won a replica tsuba (sword-hand protection) in a beautifully engraved display box.

Wohoo, congratulations! I finished 27th and it took me another week to recover from the binge Loved every moment of the game though. Plus the tsuba looks great alongside the Collector’s Edition items. pic.twitter.com/fczGAwE9Z2

Unfortunately, the tweets attracted a lot of attention from shortened fans who completely missed the part where it was noted that this is an ‘internal’ competition for Sony employees, and complained that the competition was rigged because judges pre-ordered the game had to release (insert facepalm emoji).
What has the first place in it remains a mystery. According to Birdman Drew, “legend has it” that Jin Sakai was the first employee to unlock Platinum!
