>>10955628>And they're just content to make slot machines nowadays...This is just a common misconception due to gaming youtubers. Konami always been a entertainment company first and gaming company second. They been doing casino stuff for decades before the whole "Fuck Konami" trend of the mid-2010s. Infact, companies like Capcom and SEGA does the same thing as shown with Megaman pachinko machines. Like for gods sake, Konami literally sells gym equipment.
Secondly, Konami been making games. It's just not the usual Silent Hill or Castlevania. It's franchises like Momotaro Dentetsu and Bomberman that are receiving new entries and are doing great + being super successful in sales, as shown with Momotaro Dentetsu being one of the best selling games on the Switch throughout 2021 to 2023.
>inb4 then why can't they do the same with Silent Hill/Castlevania/MGSBecause Konami is struggling to move these franchises forward without their respective creator. You can't just make a new Castlevania entry without planning shit out. This is why they're releasing remasters as a test to see if people are still interested in these IPs. Or how they're letting multiple companies make their own Silent Hill so they can see which game does people like the most.
