Some of my favorite gaming IPs of all time are Konami (Castlevania, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Contra, Suikoden, Vandal Hearts, Zone of Enders at top of my list), so when I think about what they've become, it just breaks my heart.
I used to work for them as a QA tester many moons ago, and, uh, the less said about that experience, the better, but needless to say I've been disappointed and heartbroken at how far they've fallen in my eyes from being probably my favorite publisher, to becoming one I literally don't even think about until the folks in the PS thread start pining over a Silent Hill reboot (which is all the time these days XD XD ).
They really should just license out their IPs to studios that actually are passionate about making games in those IPs. If they're going to stop producing titles for consoles in those IPs, why just leave them all in limbo, or limited to gambling machines or mobile titles?
Also, just give us a Castlevania Legacy collection for the 16 and 32 bit titles already! I'd love to be able to play the GBA and DS Castlevania games on consoles, for example (I know the DS games would have to be adapted due to their touchscreen functionality for some of them, but I don't think that'd be a difficult ask). I already bought the Castlevania NES/GB/SNES/Master Drive and Contra Collections, but don't leave the rest of the series out in the cold, dammit!
