    Default The End of Konami

    http://videogamechoochoo.com/konami-...aa-production/

    I think we all saw it coming. At least, from what I can tell, they ended on a high note with Phantom Pain.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I think we all saw this coming, it is to bad the way the company went as it brought us a lot of great games in the past.

    I literally don't care because they stopped caring about video games. Have fun with your gambling BS. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

    Well damn, but given all the crazy stuff we heard about them recently like placing game designers as custodians and forcing Kojima to quit, it's apparent they've become disinterested in games. Looks like from now on all we'll be getting from this is mobile games and the occasional soccer game.

    I can't wait for the inevitable Metal Gear Solid 6 pachinko machine.

    Not because I have any interest in pachinko machines, but because the reactions the announcements of the Castlevania and Silent Hill machines spurred were priceless.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Yeah, after all the Jimquisition issues, and stuff covered by Super Bunnyhop, I think the world will be a better place without them, considering their current ideals

    And nothing of value was lost.

    Except the couple of things of value that were lost.

    Del Toro just revealed Junji Ito was part of the cancelled Silent Hills project. Man, the more I learn about this game, the more sad I am that it never saw the light of day.

    I thought he was no longer employed with them and so they couldn't ban him from anything?

    Either way that's a load of trout. THE GAME IS UNDER YOUR BANNER, IDIOTS!

    No, it's under the banner of Kojima Productions (which no longer exists). Konami wasn't directly mentioned anywhere in the entire award show.

    But he is still working for them. He's just "on vacation, taking time away from games".

    Kojima would go down in history as the ultimate ruseman.

    I mean if a company can really act like Konami and still function as a business, I suppose anything is possible.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    If not I vote DMKA goes over there dressed as Batman and give Konami what for. Naturally, you'll have to become super rich, make a bunch of cool gadgets, and learn every fighting style known to man. Good luck.

    The only way Konami can save face is if seppuku comes back in fashion.




    Or they make another great Castlevania game.
