Just another blow to the whole Konami-scandal!

There’s definitely something fishy going on at Konami: first, Hideo Kojima quits the company after finishing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, then Silent Hills ended up on the chopping block and now it’s confirmed that Konami is quitting the New York Stock Exchange.

This definitely means that they are on their knees financially, despite the fact that 99.71% of the shares are rolling around in London and Tokyo – the remaining amount doesn’t cover the $5 million fee of yearly listing in New York.
After all this, Konami‘s future is questionable. They don’t have many successful franchises: sure, there’s PES, but remember, the last two adaptations had FOX Engine… and what else is there, really?
