After seventeen years I have decided to leave Konami to explore new opportunities. Today is my final day with the company #endofanera

[Nagumo]

Good.

Go back whence you came! Trouble the soul of Castlevania no more!

OK, I know it's terrible but I can't help but to laugh at that one.

From a nearby cliffside under a rising sun, the heroes watch Coxvania crumble away and fall into ruin...

As much as I disliked some of the things he said(as well as dislike the LoS games), I kinda feel a little sad because of this. At least more so than, say, if Toriyama left Square Enix(which I probably would be throwing a party). I wonder where this leaves the proposed Contra reboot?

I'm next.

The proposed reboot of Contra better die off if it can't be done respectively. After the fiasco with LoS I did not want Cox to touch any other classic franchise in fear of them being alienated from their very own identity. Now that he's left Konami I can relax a bit...I hope.

X-D This is the one I've gotta laugh at!

So...I initially wasn't sure who Cox was, but from context I'd guess he's responsible for the LoS games?  I hope he's still got a good job and all, but I won't miss his influence on Castlevania.

Richter: So the war between fans and Cox finally ends here...

[Dremn]

Didn't Cox have a hand in other Castlevania games besides the LoS series?

I wish Dave the best, and I have a feeling I'll be one of the only positive comments about this in the thread.

Maybe Cox left coz he´s going to joing Iga in his new project... :trollface:

I don't wish him any ill-will...I'm the type who wouldn't even wish such a thing on my worst enemy.  But I can't deny that I (so far) dislike LoS.  Everyone else is free to their opinions of it (with no fear of judgement from me), but it just wasn't really "Castlevania" to me, and it doesn't seem to have much benefited our cherished series yet.  I do hope things still go well for him though, and I'll gladly recant "missing him" if it turns out LoS actually brings our series back in full force!
