A rumor from financial sector indicates that SNK Playmore is now closing their Pachinko business. (Their hugely successful Mobile business and their popular fighting game IP development will continue.)
It seems that Chinese company that bought off SNK Playmore decided that keeping IP clean worth more than producing money through Pachinko. The King of Fighters is very popular IP in China, for very... Complicated reasons.
In related news, apparently Japanese government is planning to introduce harsh regulation on Pachinko and related gambling business in preparation for incoming Olympic.
SEGA still have their game development team relatively intact, while Konami pretty much fired all of their talents AND Hudson's talent.
How do you feel about this?

Congratulating Konami for THIS^^^^???

Congratulation was done in sarcasm.
