new Castlevania Pachinko featuring 'erotic violence'

Konami has been doing casino slot machines for a bit now. I'm not really surprised but their mobile and casino models are basically keeping them around.

After missing preorder openings all week; I finally got an order for the CE from Best Buy, shit is still up as of this afternoon. Now I just need to pray that the Fallout 4 CE opens up somewhere too. lol

If you're talking about the Pip boy edition; Bethseda made a press release that they're not making anymore.

Oh I know; doesn't mean it won't reopen ever again though. Just highly unlikely. lol

Konami developers who aren’t seen as useful are reassigned duties such as security guards, cleaning staff at fitnes clubs, or roles at pachi-slot machine factories. This includes producers who worked on big titles. In 2013, Japanese newspaper Asahi News reported on a former Konami employee who allegedly went from development to working in a Konami pachi-slot factory, which led him into severe depression.
After announcing on Facebook that he was leaving Konami for a new job, Konami monitored his social media post and reshuffled those within the company that “Liked” it.

This is pretty screwed up, its like a prison system.

lol @ the comments.

talking about boycotting after mgsv. from the looks of it, it is a moot point. there will be no other major titles to boycott after mgsv

[Damane]

It's like..why not boycott..now? xD I'll never understand some logic though. As for the new CV and such, I'm not surprised honestly, Konami is one of the biggest suppliers of them and always have been, it just seems worse in the light of what's happened.
