Why can't Konami just sell the rights to another publisher? they clearly don't care about the franchise

It's not really fun to play

I don't care about sequels, but the least they could do is dump the games on Steam / GOG

Because it really has no competition, partly because the genre isn't exactly "cool" anymore, and partly because truly few western devs have the patience, insight or even balls to craft something as deep, layered, subtle and powerful as this.
However, as much as I worship SH2, it ain't "perfect". As a horror game, it is quite lame, easily getting dwarfed by its prequel and first sequel. I'd also criticize the pacing a bit, though that may or may not even become apparent on the first run. As much as some folks dare to claim SH1 to be "outdated" and shit, it really is the superior and scarier game, and 2 has more in common with it than people tend to want to admit.
>they clearly don't care about the franchise
They never have.
They literally considered TS to consist of their "B-grade artists and coders", and originally just wanted them to make a mere RE clone to compete on then-ongoing horror boom. It was thanks to TS' quiet rebellion that we got the SH games we now know and love.
Everyone also raves about KojimaPro's sad fate now, while TS went through the same hell already over a decade ago. You can imagine how all of this history has felt for someone who's been a big fan of both series.
Clearly too much work, and prolly would make them go through the SH HD Collection controversies again, which they try to avoid.
Not to mention the Konami's whole attempt to steer away from video games for good.

I would not be surprised if they'd lack the original PC ports' files by now as well. It's a typical, old Japanese practice to ditch finished projects' stuff away later on.
But thanks to Konami being bunch of dicks who don't care about the SH series, we can more proudly spread around the DL links + this SH PC Guide:

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" is a all-in-one fix, that works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!
In case you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.
SH2-4 do not support Xinput gamepads. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M.
You can now see some decent emulator settings for SH1 as well in the guide. If the image of the game does NOT fill your entire screen in fullscreen mode, check your plugin AND GPU control panel's image scaling settings!
Also give the new PGXP emulator a shot for a lot less wobbly PS1 graphics.

They could just straight up rip a retail DVD, dump it on Steam and call it a day, it's not like most older games get any special treatment on there.
and I mean literally copy / paste, no BluePoint meme magic required

Why "western" specifically?

what happened to the world?
James Wood
The time it was released, the soundtrack, the pacing, the story, the characters, VAs, sounds, everything was nearly perfect.
The only thing that comes close for me is Fatal Frame 2.

They could, but they wouldn't.
Are you aware of the hoops and stupid trickery they went through to get the HD Collection released with minimum effort and extra costs? It'd be that shit all over again, and they now know that fans would not be pleased with new VAs and butchered music.
To be blunt, I meant "Americans".
And that is purely because of the recent history of the games and films, and their shallow depth and lack of surprises they tend to have.
I know what kind of "lol weeaboo!" replies that might spawn, but I honestly believe, that besides most western devs clearly lacking the level of insight about the SH games and their lore the original devs (and many fans) possessed, there is also a purely cultural limitations at work. SH might take place in the America, but its overall style, feel and details are undeniably "Japanese", taking hints from numerous oriental folklores and urban legends. All these obviously come across as very foreign ideas to us westerners in whole, and when presented in our familiar environment, with that SH coat on top, they tend to truly frighten us in bizarre ways.
Meanwhile, what kind of folklore does America have? The Boogeyman tales? They sure seemed to love and use that in the HC and DP at least.

Man just thinking about the SH2 music puts me in a good mood.

I just wish they had some better sound effects especially for the guns and ricochet and some better animations.

SH2 isn't perfect.

It's sad that you think a different opinion is a shitpost
Christopher Robinson
animations suck
some of the sound effects sucked
I don't know how you would put it but those are my feelings on the subject, now good day.
