Say you have a car and a TV I would like to buy from you? Why the fuck should I buy your whole house just to get them when those are the only two things I care about?

Because by buying Castlevania, MGS and Silent Hills, you are basically clearing them out. Why would people want to support anti-consumer decisions like these? 

This will breed other companies to do the same. Let's say if Google Stadia brought these IPs instead of Sony and they promised to make them big AAA budget titles, would you be happy about it?

Because Konami isn't interested to make games anymore to begin with?

If the choice is between having Nintendo buy them and make games exclusive to the Switch and having no Castlevania, Metal Gear or Silent Hill at all, I'll take the first option with zero guilt in my mind.The same applies to Google.
