Was their CEO fired? I recall something similar happening to SEGA their former CEO said console gaming was dead at they would focus on mobile and Pachinko then he got fired and everything changed. Wondering if something similar at Konami?
Capcom was just having issues with their general game design and conforming too heavily to trends. They didn't spiral into the employee destroying hole of non-development that Konami did. Capcom simply had to revise their approach to game design. Konami has to revise their approach to being a video game developer. They burned a metric crap ton of bridges with the well known treatment of Kojima and his team during the development of MGS5.
If only Konami made games anymore
"look at all our properties we do nothing/worse than nothing with"
What a Legacy. There's still hope. Hey, look at Capcom.
Don't hurt me like this Konami. All I want is a new Suikoden.
