>pachinko cant save them

you really don't understand what konami is
pachinko can save them, if by pachinko you mean gambling in generall

konami is basically the largest producer of digital slot machines you're seeing in vegas
they have no reason to sell their ips anyway, it's small change, it actually is worth more for them to keep it for the occasional merchandising

Sell themselves to SEGA, Namco or some Chinese company

>pachinko can't save them

GOD DAMMIT JUST REMAKE MGS3 WITH THE PACHINKO ASSETS YOU FUCKS

They're making a killing.

Although one law against pachinko passing will tank this company.

They truly are the nigger of the gaming world

Konami fucked up my Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG banlist today. Fuck them.

Bemani is still doing strongly enough for them.

Pachinko is dying

Go to an American casino and 9/10 slot machines are made by Konami.

Wasn't there a gambling legislation that was supposed to cause pachinko machines to be banned in Japan or at least be taxed on the same level as casinos etc?

>not naming that pic Now Hold on a diddly darn moment

all they have is pachinko and Yugioh, or possibly sell out some old ips for mobile games with heavy micro transactions

OCG has always been cancer after triple gateway six samurai(cica 2011-12?).

Konami is hugely profitable and not going anywhere. Why are you so fucking retarded?

They will just make PES for 3rd world slav countries.

I work in a casino. I see a ton of Konami slot machines every day. It's like having the corpse of an old friend paraded past me every time I go to work.

>pachinko cant save them

So young, so naive.

I wish they would fix MGO. Give us crossplay and text-chat.

Speaking if yugioh, I was with my grandma 13 years ago and she bought one of those tins that came with like 6 booster backs and a holo card. She asked what I wanted for Christmas and I said the tin with that special edition Celtic Guardian. Well she bought it like 2 week before Christmas while I was there and on Christmas Day she came over and didn't have it. I didn't mention it and neither did she. To this day I don't know why I never got that tin. She also bought me an SD gundam (the little chibi versions) figure of heavyarms and I have no idea where that was either

You people could always just terrorise Konami into making video games again.

What, a bunch of fucking sandniggers can bring nations to their knees over their religuon but you can't cripple one (1) corporation for the sake of your video games?

Make a good game for a change.

Why are Kojimafags so fucking retarded?

You really want to get rid of Sup Forums, huh?

>western cucks don't know about their arcade output

Facts don't matter here. Only feelings

PES 2018
PES 2019
PES 2020
PES 2021
PES 2022

They're honestly doing quite well in their home country. Shit like their arcade game/rhythm game divisions are doing totally fine plus their athletic clubs are doing fine as well.

The opposite, gambling is going to be legalized there.
The only reason about Pachinkos being popular is that they use legal loopholes to be in Japan, thus they are some sort of ''legal gambling''.

If they legalize gambling, people will just start selling regular gambling shit in Japan, and Pachinko will become irrelevant.
Plus, since they are right now basically a monopoly, the price of Pachinkos must be high, which will kill them when regular gambling machines get in Gookland.

>Konami decides to exit the video game industry and focus more on its gambling aspects.
>Decide to look up what all Konami owns in respect to vidya.
>Metal Gear, Castlevania, Winning 11, Silent Hill, and a few other niche titles here and there.

What is the point for them even bothering honestly?

are you silly? they make pachinkos because it's profitable for them right now, if it won't be anymore they have tons of IPs to use to go back making money with triple A games, third party teams exist for a reason, they just commission the next metal gear to platinum or whoever, they already have property graphic engine and it's done, they have a plan A mobile and pachinko, people are literally craving for PES 2017 mobile believe it or not, and a plan B to go back to traditional gaming, so they have their back covered more than the other software houses that just make regular games.

See IIDX and pop'n are still active since 2000 with more than 1000 songs each.

Plus a new version of IIDX was just released last month.

tat yugioh mobile game

Nah, slot machines in Vegas and Macau are made by Konami. We just have to face the fact that Konami game's are gambling games.

That and DDR getting a new release in the west for the first time in years.

But those are all niche outside of Japan. And America doesn't even have the arcade scene it once used to.

Fuck that remake MGS1, MGS3 is overrated at this point, I mean how many times can you go back to the well with one game in a 5 part series.

>People still think companies care about the quality of their products

They are still makeing PES? I heard that FIFA is now on par with PES regarding game design and AI.

this is adorable

looking forward to survive myself

HOW KONAMI COULD REGAIN POPULARITY WITH MINIMAL EFFORTS AND AFFORD A SOURCE OF INFINITE INCOME WITH MINIMAL WORK:

port/remake MGO2 for consoles/PC. make cosmethic DLC, add additional DLC heroes. keep updating it every 4 months (so three times a year, manageable right).

I JUST FUCKING SOLVED ALL YOUR POPULARITY PROBLEMS KONAMI AND IT TOOK ME

Holy shit that banlist. Why the fuck is Strike and Desires not on it? Also Rat needed a hit.
