>"You are unfairly discrediting the company." Those words were contained in a letter that Japanese gaming giant Konami sent last fall to Hideo Kojima
>a Kojima Productions executive applied for the company to join ITS Kenpo, a health insurance society for companies in the gaming and internet service industry but the application was not even accepted.
>When the executive asked why, he was told by ITS Kenpo that all applications are screened by the board chairman before being reviewed by the board, and it could not show this application to the chairman. Kimihiko Higashio, a director at Konami, is the chairman at ITS Kenpo
>A staffing agency employee who asked not to be named said he notifies gaming companies if a prospective hire is an ex-Kon. He said that is because Konami files complaints to gaming companies who take on its former employees.
>Ex-Kons are not allowed to put their Konami experience on their public resumes.
The ruse runs deep

>Like many other Japanese gaming companies, Konami's forte used to be arcade games and games for household consoles. But a person familiar with matter said a turning point for Konami came in 2010, when it released the social gaming title "Dragon Collection" for smartphones.
>Developing the title cost only several tens of millions of yen -- a paltry amount for the gaming industry -- but it ended up raking in hundreds of millions of yen a month. The stunning success is said to have led the chairman to put more effort into making games for smartphones. That is an understandable move given the huge costs involved in creating extravagant titles -- products that have no guarantee of success.
>The approach is bringing solid results. Konami is on track to post a record group operating profit of 40 billion yen for the year ending in March 2018. Industry insiders are often in awe of Konami's ability to make games once played on TV screens work on smartphones.
This is why phone games were a mistake

What a fucking shame that they have a hold over so many titles only to turn them into mobile games and pachinko machines.
