MGSV looks great and still hits 60fps. Enough is enough.

I thought the same thing. Konami should consider leasing out the Fox Engine or something.

And why wouldn't they?  I don't understand, I know they need money. 

People like using Unreal Engine 4, but do people make the actual game Unreal anymore?  It seems they might be making more money (or a nice amount) just leasing there game engine that they make on game themselves.  Nothing wrong with capitalizing your assets and skill.

If it's really this good now.  They really should lease it out to other developers.  (And continue to improve it so it's only better.)  And use the revenue to keep them going strong.

They don't. Does anyone check financials before making comments like that? Konami is always profitable.

In their 2015  report: "...consolidated revenues for Konami's digital entertainment segment were down 11.1% year-over-year."

They have just laid a bunch of people off and had huge cut backs and restructuring. 

And their operating income is down by half over years previous.  That sounds pretty bad. 

Plus, going back even futher, income was down 24.6% in 2013, and down 33.3% in 2012.  So I’m not sure what you are referring.

And why not license the engine if it's really that great.  How would it hurt the company?
