Recently, lots of signs have pointed to Konami going out of business soon. With their only major profits being on cell phone games, Kojima getting fired and taken off of Metal Gear Solid V, getting taken off the stock market, and the recent cancellation of Silent Hills, it seems very likely. While this means that we'll likely never see sequels to popular series like Silent Hill, at least we'll have MGS V as one final hurrah from them.
EDIT: It's confirmed. Metal Gear Solid V will be Konami's final console game before becoming a mobile only industry.

Dead dead dead dead dead. If they're not dead in business, they're dead in spirit. They fired Kojima, they cancelled Silent Hills and removed PT from PSN, they've tried to censor arguments about them, they haven't published a worthwhile non-Kojima game in years... fuck 'em.

Yeah, it looks like the real end, not Sega looking like end, but really truly this is the end! MGS V looks awesome, I expect it to be that company's last hurah before drowning, Kojima was really the only thing keeping them going for quite sometime, and now that he is gone, its all over.

Agreed, after MGS goes out with likely a bang, and seeing how Silent Hills was brutally murdered, its over, at least for the gaming side of things. I read somewhere that they make slot machines, and have been making a lot more money on that then games lately.

It's official. MGS V will be Konami's last console game before moving entirely to mobile games.

They weren't going to make anything good after it either way, so I see this as a good thing.

GODDAMN IT! GODDAMN IT ALL TO HELL! Fucking Konami, are they trying to fuck up Kojima's last Metal Gear game? Because that is one hell of a quick way to fuck it all up!

As a side note, I got Ground Zeroes since it was free on the PS Store this month. I don't think I'll ever finish it because each time I'm seen I feel like I've fucked up and I restart the mission. Also, it's longer than I expected. Played for a good hour before I was seen and restarted the one time. That being said, I was going at a snail's pace. And exploring everything/rescuing random POWs and doing lots of other shit aside from going to my current objective.
