Worst modern AAA game publisher?

Konami might very well be the worst, however, they are not relevant enough to win the award. Something like EA, a publisher that has the rights to Star Wars video games and shits all over the Star Wars property. They also locked you out of the ending for Dead Space 3, and the latest Sims game launched with less content than the original Sims title. I could go on and on, EA is the worst.

Wrong, Konami has made the worst decisions possible at every turn. Say what you will about EA's treatment of the Star Wars property, at least we're actually GETTING a new BF (which actually looks somewhat promising this time around), Konami just holds all their licenses hostage and disgraces them by slapping them on whorehouse slot machines. Their treatment of Star Wars pales in comparison to Pachinkonami's handling of the Metal Gear franchise or, hell, literally every single IP they own. 

So Metal Gear fans love Kojima's games? Well, then, let's fire him, take his name off the cover of his last game and ban him from receiving his own award.

Oh, what's that? Fans want a MGS3 remake with the brand new Fox Engine? Let's use it for a pachinko machine. 

What's that? Fans want Part III to the still incomplete MGSV? Let's fill The Phantom Pain with microtransactions and dedicate resources to the broken online service.

What's that? Fans want the Silent Hills dream project that we stupidly cancelled? Let's make a generic Metal Gear survival zombie game.

What's that? Fans want a new Castlevania? Let's waste beautifully-rendered visuals and new characters on a pachinko machine.

What's that? $60 is too much for Super Bomberman R? We lowered the price a meager $10 and made sure it lags offline to boot! 

No one's more brain-damaged than Konami, no one. ONLY Konami can have Hideo Kojima, Guillermo Del Toro, Norman Reedus, Silent Hill and former devs from Team Silent all in one project and STILL fuck it up, talk about going Full Retard.

 

I agree, Konami has definitely made more mistakes and at a staggering degree. I still stand by what I said though. EA abuses microtransactions too. EA is more relevant in the gaming industry and that is what makes them worse in my opinion. People still flock to EA. Whereas the hatred that Konami has received (which has been well deserved) has caused them to gradually become more obscure as time goes by. The name Konami means very little to gamers and their games do not have a large enough presence anymore.

Konami really let the ball drop on Silent Hills and every other property that they have held hostage. Their prominence in the gaming industry has greatly diminished, whereas EA is still as relevant as ever. This is what makes EA worse in my opinion.
