Konami Just Trolled The PC Community in The Worst Way Possible

TheArabGamer writes: "Metal Gear Solid V is an excellent game. It's PC port is outstanding as well and a shinning example of how a proper port is made. Naturally, and with all the MGS hype going on, PC players are hoping that Konami release and port the entire MGS Legacy collection on Steam. So when 'Metal Gear Solid Legacy' appeared on Steam yesterday everyone got a big exclamation mark over their heads."

Konami, you are not Kojima. Please stop.

I believe they is.

[XboxOneX]

No they don't.

[OhMyGandhi]

I are.

[XisThatKid]

CCCCOMBO BREAKER!!!

[freshslicepizza]

does sony hold some rights to mgs4 and maybe why we will never see it on the pc?

[donthate]

moldybread:

No. Sony doens't hold the rights to MGS4.

It is costly to redo the port and is it would be closer to a remake including redoing the game engine that is now running on a proprietary and difficult to deal with system called PS3.

Konami likely wouldn't fund that for a very small market. They would rather just focus on the next game.

When the tools get better in many many years, we may get one.

[ShinMaster]

Seriously, blame Steam for not labeling sh*t properly, not Konami. This isn't the first time.

[freshslicepizza]

@donthate

the pc got a port of valkyria chronicles so anything is possible.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I don't see MGS4 getting a port for many reasons, many listed a few.

@Moldybread- no, Sony doesn't own the MGS IP (strange but that needs to be stated)

The game would be a very hard port, Konami has stated many times they don't have an interest any longer in AAA console gaming and are moving towards mobile.

On a technical scale, it would be hard, but can be done.

Financially....the publisher who owns the IP doesn't even have intrest in doing such games any longer so never mind if it can be done, the company doesn't even want to do games like that any longer sooo

[Mikefizzled]

Kojima is Konami.
Konami aren't Kojima.

[ChrisW]

Technically if you are referring to a company as a whole entity, you should use third-person singular.

[Max-Zorin]

Konami want the worst company in Japan title so bad.

[bmf7364]

Worst game company internationally*

[aquaticDonut]

They've got a ways to go to catch up to Ubisoft if that's the case.

[bmf7364]

I think treating practically treating their talent as slaves puts them above EA as a fact

[Timesplitter14]

Honestly it's not THAT bad. It was explained when you bought the game that you'd get the Legacy video, with a description of what it was. With that article title I was expecting to read that konami game consoles exclusive content or something

[DaReapa]

Exactly. And if anyone was "trolling" (God, I hate that word), it would be the author of the article. As you've mentioned, it CLEARLY states in the game description that it's a video. Hit mongering is quickly becoming a cancer these days.

[marioJP87]

I'm done with Konami! Last game I bought of theirs was MGS4 but that's only because Hideo Kojima.

[bmf7364]

Thats pretty much the only reason why MGSV will be the last thing bought by consumers from Konami

[Angeljuice]

PES sells pretty well year on year. So no.

[benji101]

Not buying Konami games to prove to Konami why they should spend money making games.. Gotta love gamers. Brains are not the strong point.

[OhMyGandhi]

it's called voting with your wallet. Some gamers, myself included, will not buy another Koanmi product after MGSV. No one said Konami should make more games. Their idiocy has proven time and time again that they are both out of touch and incompetent, which, for any business, can lead to a very angry fanbase that will turn on you in an instant.

I work at Best Buy, and one of the things that fascinates me is just how many people know about the whole Kojima/Konami debacle, it's not just some tiny segment of the gaming population, but rather, encompasses so many other, larger discussions as a whole.

Most of us are not idiots. But like I've said, Konami has become insufferable as of late. Their attitude reminds me of a child that is told "no" repeatedly, only to cut up someones clothes, trash the living room, and slap around the visiting relatives. I don't care for their management, nor their handling of their other franchises, and they need to be told "no" by everyone before they truly get the message. Worse yet, they leave without changing their behavior, and leave their legacy in tatters.

[_-EDMIX-_]

lol...thats nice. I still got MGSV day 1 and I'm loving it. Leave your emotions at the door, Konami doesn't care about looking good for a fanbase they are no longer supporting. They are doing mobile and thats that.

So Konami turned its back on AAA gaming bud before its fans turned their back on Konami.

Your seeking a fight with a publisher that has made it pretty clear they don't want to be involved in AAA games any longer.

You won't buy another Konami product? Well bud...unless your going to play mobile, I don't even see that being an issue seeing how they are not evening planning to continue console gaming any longer.

[Doodleburger]

Most of the time, relatives need slapping, houses need to be trashed, and clothes ruined in order to move on to better things. Obviously for Konami, getting rid of an egomaniac who consistently goes over budget, doesn't meet deadlines, and causes controversy through shock value was a step in the right direction for them. You're just mad because you know his next game is going to be crowd funded and terrible.

[KingPin]

@rustedman

so while you voting with your wallet, im supporting them buying PES 2015 & 2016 and when konami do decide to make games, why should they make a game that suits your taste with the money they got from my support. im supporting them to make another PES not another MGS.

does that seem anywhere remotely fair to you?

[ShadowWolf712]

I'm not buying another Konami product based solely on how they treat their employees.

I honestly don't care if they make another game or not, most of them have been mediocre at best as of late.

[DogDay]

But yet you will buy hardware made in China by slave labor or a phone made the same way? Doesn't make sense.

[BenRage3]

If they released a collection on PC I would easily throw my wallet at the screen.

[wannabe gamer]

I actually bought the MGS legacy collection for PS3 after watching this last week before starting MGS V on pc. was about to do it the day before but this pushed me over the edge

[Lng101010]

Don't really care. PES 2016 here I come. Good job getting this franchise back on track, Konami.

[Xbonewone32015]

Konami suck. MGS V is weak.

[WitWolfy]

They're obviously testing the waters to see if there's demand for it.

[Raider69]

Never going to happen!

[Lindenn]

Sorry peoples, MGS legacy is on PS3 so go dust off the ps3 cause its still a great system and play it there along with mgsiv cause its never going to pc and shouldn't

[gif]

Thats your opinion not a FACT.

[formanbradley]

Stay salty PC elitists, MGS4 will NEVER come to anything but PS3.

[LightofDarkness]

Sounds like the salt is all on you, bud.

[kindersitztests]

Nice :D

[cd1]

A video game publisher p1ssing off gamers? - well i never...

[goldwyncq]

That's almost as bad as the FFVII PS4 port announcement last year.

[FlameWater]

Metal Gear collection on PC would probably break the internet

[uth11]

seriously? People get upset over everything these days. If anyone thought this was a stealth announcement, maybe it's their own fault for jumping to conclusions?

[Feriku]

I saw it on Steam's list of upcoming products the other day and thought, "Oh, are the other games coming to Steam?" I hovered my cursor over it, and a description popped up that clearly showed what it was. So... I wouldn't call this "deceptive" at all.

[contradictory]

It's pretty clear that it's a movie on steam.. but that being said i'd love to get the MGS Legacy on Steam someday..

MGS4 on PC would be amazing

[mastershredder]

Someone does not comprehend in the worst possible way. Then they wrote an article.
Trolled by your own self.

[ocelot07]

Serious question here. Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 was released on PC. Why are these not on Steam anyhow?

[SUCKxITxEZ]

Konami knows we hate them I swear. I bought yugioh on Xbox to gameshare it with my co-worker who paid me half, not realizing konami owns yugioh, because they don't really advertise themselves on the game. Oh well, he doesn't care about MGS so he woulda bought it anyway.
