"What good is regretting it now? [...] This is the path I have travelled. To get what I wanted... If I apologise, if I repent...everything will come to an end. I'll never get to reach that place." - Some passerby God Hand Konami, seeing CV pachinko.

Konami has become really creepy in the past decade.

Well, seeing as their mostly involved in mobile games, pachinko and pachislot and the like, it wouldn't be too far off the mark to assume that they're in with the Yakuza or a foreign mob, as it's exactly those venues and genres that are often affected by criminal elements, since there's a lot of money to be made there.

>involved with casinos
>silencing tactics against people who leave their "family"
>reputation butchering of those same people

Oh yeah. There's definitely some mob involvement there.

Scary how it actually holds up, isn't it? Perhaps it is actually for the best that Konami doesn't produce any more Castlevania games, come to think of it...

Well, it's not only that the red flags are readily apparent.

Without spilling too many beans, I know some people with mob association (present, former, I won't say which). As a result I've got firsthand accounts of how those politics play out.

I would be genuinely shocked to discover that Konami well and truly did NOT have any such connections.

Agreed, though we will likely never find out... Unless Konami starts to displease those people, which is unlikely.
