What do big companies care more about?

[Kosheh]

That kinda sounds like an anger-fueled post. ):

But I was actually talking to my co-worker about this as well, as he told me Kojima's a free agent now after MGS5. All in all, I don't think things are spelling out too well for Konami...their only choices at this point, really are to

• more aggressively push their flagship franchises in the West (Bemani games, namely. It'd be ABOUT TIME. Their other cash cow is...uh, Winning Eleven?) [yeah, alright. like that's gonna happen]
  
• license/publish indie games to make a little cash here and there [maybe?]
  
• make more internationally-franchised IPs [could happen; if there's ever a cocky, proud Japanese company, it's Konami. That's for sure]
  
• rerelease old arcade classics on consoles with or without netplay to squeeze out a few extra bucks here and there [likely, if they hadn't been doing that for years now]
  
• retire from Western markets entirely and focus on Japanese sales (which seems the most likely here in this scenario) [most likely]
  

From a hopeless fanboy perspective, they could also make a Konami Classics arcade cabinet, shove all those games in there (Contra, Frogger and...Track and Field...and...uh), and sell them to bars and stuff which would get them out of hot water.
But it doesn't seem likely that they'd be able to get all their franchises back, sooooo hope you like Contra, Castlevania, and Frogger a really lot





You know, isn't it weird that all these Japanese-owned former gaming giants are seeming to start to buckle? Sega, Capcom, and now Konami...?
