What the hell is going on at Konami!?

[Kingshango]

The recent departures of long time Konami employees for the past few years is all starting to make sense now. It was all leading up to this and they knew it.

Wait, it's *delisted* from the NYS? I just said "RIP Konamu" flippantly, but wow, this does not bode well for the kompany. D:

They need to sell their franchises.

How long until an anonymous Konami insider just drop dimes on this shitty company? I know they're really anxious to air it all out.

[piscesdreams]

Good question. I can only imagine what is next. But I feel the shit is really about to hit the proverbial fan.

Eh, don't count on Konami to sell their IPs if they stop making console games, they will use them for pachislots and shit.

[uzo]

I guess those Pachinko machines aren't pulling it in.

Ouch.

Well, guess that's the end of Konami for us, as well as the end of a lot of great franchises(Castlevania included). I guess we can know that we will all keep the memory alive, regardless of Konami. Maybe, one day, we'll tell our grandchildren about tales regarding the battles between Belmont and Dracula, a "Mystical Ninja", a mysterious town called "Silent Hill", the war against the Bacterian Empire, Red Falcon and many other tales long since have been forgotten . That's all we'll have.

What would happen if Konami goes under? Would all their franchises be up for grabs afterwards, or would they still be under ownership of a non-existent company?
