So since Konami have given R6S free creative control with Solid Snake's Lore, does that mean...?

It has nothing to do with spite. It's just MGS content.

Everything that has been done with the IP since he left, paired with how and why he left, makes their usage of it as "content" an insult at best, exploitative at worst. It literally goes against almost everything he tried to convey in his storytelling throughout the series, and he basically spelled it out through expositions in the games multiple times. The last thing he wanted was stuff like:

-WARNING, FLASHING LIGHTS AND LOUD NOISE WARNING-

In regards to the quality of content from the other collabs, I don't have an opinion on any of that. My point was more about how quality is secondary to how much profit it will bring in for them as a company. It has been the most consistent facet of their business strategies for decades at this point, and a lot of series from Contra to Goemon have suffered for it in light of the pachinko division. They do things if they think they will make them money, things like lore or accuracy are irrelevant.

You're literally hung up on history which isn't repeating itself rn.

History is what we learn from. This is not a leap of faith stance @Ryuhi is taking with a company like Konami, its an intelligent stance reflecting the history of Konami.

I feel you have zero knowledge in history regarding Konami, otherwise you wouldn't be spouting what you are. Do some research or don't, but Konami hasn't changed, they are the same as they were in history, which is very scummy with respect to their staff and IP collection. This stuff matters to people.

But hey, if none of this matters to you, continue to consume, consumer. Its what we were meant to do.

Honestly my point isn't even necessarily as much about how they handle IPs, that part was mostly relevant due to the comments about MGS and how konami gave another company cart blanche in regards to its lore and representation. The main point was that there is no other reason konami would(n't) make a decision regarding their content in other games or mediums that isn't centered around profit. That means that something like another future collab or licensing renewal absolutely could lead to improvements like they want, but that decision (and even consideration) would center around that fact alone. Honestly thats not even limited to konami, which is why speculation about things like lore freedom opening the gates or other similar justifications are meaningless. These aren't fangames or labors of love, they're marketed products to the people who own the rights. Konami in particular are just historically extremely blatant about their priorities.

I have been a fan of Konami's IPs since I was a kid from my parents, YOU and @Ryuhi are literally unaware and very ironic you're saying this within BHVR's forums. "Consuming" we are all consumers, you're supporting multiple "controversial" IP holders by supporting this game. Remember the NFT's, the Colorblindness episode? Companies can learn and grow from mistakes, you're purposefully being ignorant if you're gonna continue spouting that.

I can't tell if you're purposely missing the point or not. I'm not passing judgement as much as outlining how misguided your initial reasoning is. My personal feelings about Konami have nothing to do with their track record of how they handle IPs, nor even how I feel about said properties. In fact, I wish they would lose the rights to most of their catalog, as many of their series deserve better fates than they have gotten. Some of my favorites haven't gotten an actual video game release since the DS or longer.

Also, the projection of consumerism is pretty silly. You have absolutely zero idea how much money I have or haven't spent on the game.

I want this game to be better and the IP's that I love be properly represented, you lot just pretending you know what you are talking about when you probably just going off of general assumptions rather than what you personally like is telling.

I outlined the business practices they have shown as a company for the decades I have been a customer of theirs. You likely aren't even familiar with some of their series I have followed in real time. I'm not saying that to brag, I'm trying to assure you that I'm not going off of nothing. You're welcome to research their pachinko division and how they quietly release low quality products to retain IP rights, as well as how their content gets used in regards to collaborations. My point from the very start was simply that things like the R6S collab have zero to do with what you originally claimed, they are purely business transactions. Which is something that is par for the course for, well, businesses. I just wanted to make you aware that things like lore integrity are not a primary concern nor a limitation of said business decisions, so the chances of you getting what you asked for are the same as they were before. Which isn't to say impossible, but requiring proper motivation.

So how about sit down, be quiet and stop talking, fellow consumer.

No. And demanding rudely isn't going to change that answer.

Kinda childish, if I'm honest. I even tried to tell you what it would take for you to get your way, but have fun I guess.
