Everyone is very familiar how Konami ran Kojima out of the company and then ran Metal Gear into the ground.

They’re desperate to keep it solvent.

I hope they fail and Kojima gets to buy back his IP at pennies on the dollar.

I still want more Revengeance. That sequel bait at the end still hurts.

Bullshit. It exists because Konami got out of the video game business for Pachinko and then realised they could double dip if they beat all their dead horses some more.

Frankly, it seems stupid to cease producing actual games. There is only so much money to be made from pachinko. Good profits? Undeniably. It’s gambling, after all. But Japan is smaller than the entirety of the world and, as far as I know, they make pachinko money from Japan alone.

Konami doesn’t limit itself to Japan, look into KCMS/SYNKROS when you have the chance.
