That's a common misconception. Makes sense when you spend a lot of time on forums, but most gamers don't and the vocal minority online does not always represent them. Just a few months ago a Yu-Gi-Oh! game on ps4 was one of best selling games of the month on ps4. And that was still a Konami game. I may not like Konami, but nothing will stop me from buying a game I like just because of the company. I believe that most gamers simply don't give a damn. Look how well "evil" EA and Activision are still doing. |
Yugioh is not an IP that really screams "Konami" though
they are more likely to see adverse results for some of their more iconic brands that the fans might backlash; i.e. Metal Gear, Castlevania, etc.
