Konami Should Go Away Forever And Leave Everything To Capcom (The Jimquisition)
Konami is Konami, and Konami is the worst. This was first argued years ago and it's only gotten more true. So true, in fact, that Konami barely qualifies as a game publisher anymore. It makes casino toys and dabbles in gaming.
Really, Konami should just go far, far away and let Capcom take over. Capcom should have Silent Hill, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Frogger. It would do better with them, and it already has experience making the kind of games that Konami's long-neglected library would thrive as.
Give Silent Hill to the team that revitalized Resident Evil. Give Castlevania to the Devil May Cry developers. Capcom should have all Konami's stuff.

Is it just me, or is the "gotcha" music-snippet from the Lost Odyssey soundtrack? ... I loved that game, and bought it three times. Sad that Mistwalker went into mobile games instead.
Profit! I remember that show. I used to love it. Unfortunate it only had one season.
Any one else notice that Patreon replaced all our user names with our actual names? WTF?
Duck Tales BGM FTW!
TLDW-Jim got a cat. Fuck Konami forever.
Jim, you mentioned Konami not putting anything out in 2017 other than PES. You seem to not know or won't recognize the Pawapro Yakkyu series of baseball games Konami makes every year. Yes, it's similarly reprehensible in how every major sports franchise game is just annual recycle, but this annual recycle is the best baseball series I've played. It's been made since the SNES, and one of my favorite franchises ever, as good as PES is to soccer, I guess. You should know about this, man.
I had to look it up, and it seems like it's only really popular in Japan and hasn't exactly done as well in North America, which likely explains it. It's fairly obscure here in North America by the looks of it.
Omg I loved that show profit!
Profit was an amazing flash in the frying pan! Adrian Pazdar is fantastic, just unfortunate that hes a conservative.
I legitimately don't understand why Konami won't license their property out, that way they don't have to bother making them and have marketing for their casino machines.
