so from what I’ve seen, fixing the sinking ship started around 2019, obv got somewhat stalled by Covid for a couple years, and then 2021 brought a major restructuring- by 2023/2024 we had more and more high-priority collections (MGS vol 1, CV Dominus, Gradius) and new games (Bomberman R2, SH2)

a big sticking point for me personally is them splitting Konami Arcade stuff into its own division again, which meant the gambling division was entirely split off- and also meant official US Arcade support for the first time outside of Round 1, a specific chain of arcades

between all that and the big group of stuff they showed at the last state of play showcase i feel like they’re finally hitting the stride where they’re fixing a lot of harm the gambling division (and related c suite people) did to the company

no corpo is a friend, but Konami is healing a bit
