Silent Hill pachislot 3.0 announced

The sad thing is that they will probably makes tons of money from this that could've gone toward funding a new games, but nooooooooooooo, Konami had to be greedy and treat their employees like trash.

Not the news you want to hear after learning that their employees get punished by being part of their pachislot machines.

That company sounds like a nightmare and makes me feel weird wanting to buy MGS V so much.

Man konami really doesn't give a fuck anymore. It's sad to see

To be fair they haven't cared about Silent Hill since the 3rd one. They just whore it out to make a quick buck every now and then. Hell, I'd probably rather play a Silent hill light gun game or pachislot over anything Hulett got his grubby mitts on anyway.

They're just going to keep doing this, aren't they? Can we all try to, like, boycott casinos that use their machines before they get to Metal Gear? Especially because they'll probably stop and do a Bomberman one along the way; I don't know if I can handle that.

It's petty and frivolous, wanting to see a company go under despite it meaning that numerous people are losing their jobs, but to be fair, that's a pretty good summary of what Konami's doing to themselves, anyway.
 
Silent Hill has been dead since Konami dismantled Team Silent 11 years ago. The mourning period has long since past

Yeah, we got trolled by Silent Hills but it's best to just pretend that never happened.

Their pachisolt stuff greatly outperforms their videogames, and the people you'd need to convince of this don't give a shit about videogames, or are fine with it.

They wouldn't be making this change if it wasn't financially smart.

So how does attaching these franchises onto slots actually enhance them financially or otherwise? The presumed majority/mainstream aren't likely to know these storied IP from some new generic IP they just made up, and the "otaku/gamers" who do are going to to be aware of Konami's tactics/negative press and would be apt to avoid them out of principle. I just don't understand what they're gaining.
 
Lets just have a formal header for Konami news from now on.

Konami announces ______________ Pachislot.

Because that's all that's gonna be coming from them from this day forward.

Looking forward to the Suikoden pachislot that uses assets from the supposedly halted Suikoden game that may or may not have been development, like they are doing here with Silent Hills.
