Why does it feel like everyone except Konami care about Castlevania

They tend to read things into sales that we don't. A game sells bad because it wasn't wanted and not any other reason

Normally, I'd agree with that.

But the problem here is they not only put out compilations of the older games. They also have netflix making animated series on the franchise. It's not like people don't know Castlevania is a game first and foremost. If they don't want to make a new game in the franchise, why let Dead Cells have an entire DLC based on the franchise along with the netflix show, KNOWING it's going to spark fans interest in a new game?

...What's the old saying about Konami being the worst? It certainly doesn't help that I've gotten the impression that Konami isn't really acting on western reactions as much so what goes on outside of Japan doesn't seem to be important to them all that much.
