The Konami Code is ingrained in the core of my being.
Still, I don't blame them for simply wanting to change markets. High-profile videogames now are a different beast than they were twenty years ago. There should be no rancor if they've found greener pastures elsewhere. They are a business first and foremost, after all.
No, it's the way they've handled the situation with Kojima that wins them ill-will. Honestly, I don't even know the basis of that. He might be the biggest diva in the universe and a real pain to work with. Regardless, Konami has appeared to be way less than professional during the course of this drama.
The real tragedy of this is that they hold so many classic IP hostage. So much of my childhood will now, in all likelihood, be relegated to simplistic mobile games and cheap, uninspired console titles that are shells of their past glory.
