By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Scrumptiously volatile industry.This is breaking stuff, but famed videogame company Konami (Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Yu-gi-Oh!) is blowing up. The company is unraveling.
Let's make sure we're all on the same page. Konami's Silent Hills collaboration project is cancelled. P.T., which was a promotional teaser for the game and also a horror game itself, is being removed from the PlayStation Network. Hideo Kojima is leaving the company after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is released, leading many to believe that series is done. Plus, Konami's stocks are now voluntarily being removed from the New York Stock Exchange! (But being kept in the Japanese exchanges and London's.)

| What is happening over at Konami?! |
There is a lot to digest and there aren't many answers, though I'll try to address every point throughout this article. With regards to Silent Hills, it was a collaboration involving Kojima and without him around, it's sort of hard to work with that. P.T. is being removed because it existed to promote Silent Hills. Without Silent Hills, then Konami is fine leaving the PlayStation 4 without decent horror games. It's not being removed because Konami likes trying to make playing their games difficult. A lot of Nintendo fans seem very worried that Konami-published stuff will suddenly vanish from the Nintendo eShop, which is nonsense based off this information.
