Coca Cola made a similar mistake by changing their formula for their soda. They taught the world to sing but they didn't know the world could scream that loudly. Loyal Coke fans demanded that they CHANGE IT BACK!! That marketing blunder nearly cost them a bundle. Good thing they were able to salvage their business operations and keep going.

Konami has already Surpassed EA as the most hated videogame company? This company intentionally pisses off the fanbase like pulling the plug of Silent hills.

Castlevania, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid,Bomber Man and Suikoden, So many great IPs died because the company loves making Pachinko machines only known for Japan. They dumped the world for a dying arcade industry.

To make it worst, they do not want to sell these IP neither.

They still have a games department but only focuses on mobile games.

 

[Cherrielarose]

So they just want to make these Iconic games rot to the vault because they don't want to license them too.

 

[Shin Gouki]

I still feel upset on what happened to Silent Hills. Kojima and Del Toro working on a game together. They wasted it.

Their foolishness with Silent Hills And its demo P.T leads to the success of Resident Evil 7 an Village.
