Description
This comic sums up my feelings on Konami as of late. Running a 1984 Big-Brother style management, canceling a game many were hyped up for, including microtransactions in one of the biggest games of the year, not including game data on the physical disc for the PC version of said major game, trying to cover up the legacy of one of gaming's greatest directors, turning well known franchises such as Contra, Silent Hill, and Castlevania into gambling machines, and shifting attention to the mobile market when there's data to indicate that market is sketchy, this does NOT paint a bright picture for me.I hate to be grim, but I feel like Konami is dead to me after Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. The damage has been done, and I'm not sure what to think of them that's even remotely positive.
Also: HIDEO KOJIMA MADE THE METAL GEAR SERIES!
Xejo, Joe Β© me,
Kadedra is a shared character in the Walfas Station Wagon

To me Konami should sell of these franchises to multiple companies.

They will be bankrupt within late-2016, trust me.

I can't wait for that

I've already think they are dead already (or worst, they'll become a zombie that specializes in gambling machines and mobile.). So, lets buy their games used, use a video game rental service, or pirate them.

Oh I'm on that boat. I'm planning on getting MGSV used or preowned just so most of the money goes back to GameStop.

Beware of microtranscactions, Captainface, I heard somewhere that Konami did something to the motherbase, something about "insurance," you need to pay them so your items and recruits won't get "stolen" by other players.

Oh I heard too. I can't say I'm pleased.

That or someone buys the IP and makes it. (It's a good series I hear)

It is...Such a good game. And all of them have this awesome feature that allows you to share save files between them, allowing names for your nation to be carried on into the next game.

R.I.P. Konami.
We will miss you, beautiful games.

Quite so. (sighs) It's a shame what they did to iconic franchises like Silent Hill

You know how out of the loop I am when I thought this comic meant that the company had closed its doors 
Just so I have this right...did they make that cover up because Kojima left Konami? Correct me if I'm wrong.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, to me, they may as well close the doors to it's gaming division. They've done many disservices to gamers, developers, and even the game industry to an extent. And you're not wrong, in fact, they made the cover to COVER UP that Kojima made these games. Basically, they just want us to forgot that he was involved, since Kojima and the company got into an internal disagreement, and just recognize that Metal Gear belongs to them.

I really wish Japanese companies would get their heads out of their asses...
But it isn't any better over here Β

I honestly don't blame you...But at least we can say Capcom is starting to turn around what with some of their recent announcements like their DLC for Street Fighter V being all unlockable for free for the hardcore gamers.

The only thing which will remain as-is is the music game division Bemani. Call it the only vestige of classic they'll have left.

I wish I could...but you and I both know the legacy of the other games have had.

Geeze, it looks like they tried to pull an Xbox 1. Make everything gimmicky because we think our customer base is as dumb as a sack of hammers.
Also watched the 30 minute trailer of Phantom Pain, might be the only Metal Gear that got my attention.

I'd argue they've gone BEYOND an Xbox-One, andΒ beyond some of the antics that EA has pulled, possibly even acting eviler than EA.
I want the game...but I'm not sure if I should get it now due to potentially throwing money towards them..

well dont get used to the franchise anyways since its pretty much the last thing you'll ever see

All I gotta say is rest in shit Konami. You've done more damage to not only your own company, but to many other fans of franchises they loved (The few you have mentioned, Rocket Knight, Bomberman, etc.).
Let's really hope that no one else follows the lord of the flies for sure, especially sense Nintendo has made a few agonizing mistakes themselves as of late.
π: 0 β©: 2
I hope so. I don't want to see anymore franchises like Mystic Ninja go these crap routes..

They must be sharing marketing advice with Aniplex.

I should also mention they kind of took Hudson soft with them.

Oh I knew that. That's just ANOTHER sin they've committed. And it's sad that such a good multiplayer series like Bomberman is under their reins...
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah they did.
rip Bomberman.

Along side of Bloody Roar and the original Mario Party developers.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah... I really hope Nintendo hires at least some of these developers or hell, I really hope these guys get work in the future!

I felt like they took Capcom's place in marketing mistakes...but only worse
π: 0 β©: 2
I can see that. Heck I can argue they've reached levels lower than EA.

At LEAST capcom learned from their mistakes.

yep, looking forward to the new Street FighterΒ
