Chapter 532: Silent Sinking! The most vulgar episode!
everything!
Everything was just as Masakazu Nakamura expected!
The news of the departure of Takasugi Group, one of Konami's oldest three companies, was too shocking!
"Collapse! Konami's top game producer Takasugi Isao announces his resignation!"
"The Big Three are collapsing! Konami is sinking!"
"Well-known racing game producer Takasugi Isao announced his resignation this morning. What does Takasugi's departure from Konami indicate?"
"The outlook is not optimistic! Konami is in turmoil, and the head of the Summit Studio is the first to resign!"
《……》
But the next day!
The second day after Tokyo Game Festival closed!
As Takasugi Isao officially announced in a tweet that he is leaving Konami!
The unprecedented internal deconstruction of an industry giant has brought the most shocking shock to this year-end!
Peak Studio Exit!
Moreover, it is one of the three most senior and longest-standing families!
Although there have been some changes in Peak Studios before, such as the dissolution of Yamamoto Studio and the demotion of Koizumi Studio.
But none of them is as fatal as Takasugi's escape!
After all, before this, the Takasugi Group had always been regarded as Konami’s last “house-guarding sword”!
Some people even jokingly call "Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure"!
But now.
Even this "house-guarding sword" announced that it would leave Konami.
For a moment, everyone seemed to see the last straw that broke the camel's back, slowly falling from mid-air and falling towards the old camel Konami, which was already trembling under the heavy burden.
And that’s not all!
If we say that the departure of Takasugi Isao's team was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Then the announcement released by Golden Wind immediately afterwards turned this straw into a falling sword of Damocles.
Not only did it crush the camel to death, it was also nailed to the rock, causing it to bleed to the bone.
Golden Wind officially announced several personnel changes:
Firstly, the board of directors of Golden Wind Group was expanded, and the leaders of the three major project teams, [Golden Experience], [Steel Chain Fingers] and [Melancholy Blues], were incorporated into the group's board of directors as executive directors and participated in the company's core decision-making.
Secondly, Tetsuya Moritani, vice chairman of Golden Wind Group, will serve as president and CEO of the Golden Wind Group's Made in Heaven game subsidiary.
at last.
This is also the most explosive one——
We warmly welcome the well-known game producer Isao Takasugi and his 75 team members to join the game subsidiary of [Made in Paradise]. Isao Takasugi will serve as the Vice President of [Made in Paradise], in charge of the racing project development and contact matters.
As soon as the news came out!
The world is in uproar!
Takasugi Isao has left Konami!
Go to the golden wind!
As soon as this announcement came out, developer forums in all countries and regions all over the world exploded collectively!
#2 Turkey Flavored Rice Crust: Huh? Ward sent it? Takasugi Group seamlessly switched to Golden Wind? Konami didn't violate the non-compete agreement?
#4M1ku赛高: The annual salary of a producer of Takasugi Isao's level is between 255k and 450k. Even if the maximum is 450k, the penalty is ten times the annual salary, which is about 5 million. Do you think GW can't afford it? Even if the entire Takasugi team is included, according to GW's investment style, this thing is completely out of the scope of consideration...
#6一小组火芽: Indeed, and no matter how famous Takasugi Isao is, he is just a studio team leader, not a core executive of Konami. It is unknown whether the non-compete agreement stipulates international scope.
#7SIKO: Trivia: Only low-level people care about non-compete breaches. This is nothing in front of multinational companies that don’t follow the code of conduct (especially Yunwei).
#10 Milky White Snow: Yun Wei couldn’t hold it anymore, and I couldn’t refute it.
#13 fell to the ground with serious injuries: Damn it... With the Takasugi team gone, Konami is in danger...
#18 Litang's Strongest Legend and the Fierce Tiger: It's more than just [danger], I think Konami is almost [dead]...
#21Yaxy: This game really can't be named randomly. I'm afraid Konami is really going to "ascend to the sky" now.
#29 Anything will only hurt you: My evaluation is good to die! FvkKONAMI!
#35 Rude Black Tiger: Just do it with a heavy hand...
Damn Konami! Right under my feet!
Originally, the poor ratings of "Silent Hill: Ascension" had already caused Konami's market feedback to hit rock bottom.
The failure of fantastic innovations caused the confidence of many investors to plummet and their fantasies gradually collapsed.
Now, the departure of the only old Big Three team, Takasugi Group, to GW has caused the market confidence to collapse, and the fantasy has been completely shattered.
The turmoil gradually spread from the interior of the giant ship and intensified.
In just two weeks, Konami's market value fell to an unprecedented low along with its stock price.
A month later, Konami launched its fourth large-scale layoffs. The entire group was in turmoil, with countless people leaving. At the same time, another top studio, Nishikawa, also announced that it would leave Konami and join Golden Wind.
Then, three months later, Konami President Masakazu Nakamura announced his resignation and has not been heard from since.
Then, five months later, Vivendi announced the separation from Konami, and Konami's size further shrank and it no longer had its former glory.
And then?
After that, no one paid much attention to Konami anymore.
The silent sinking has turned this huge ship, which was built in 1969 and once the overlord of the Eastern Hemisphere, into a second-tier group in its thunderous collapse and silent disintegration.
Afterwards, he left the stage in disgrace.
Konami will not die .
After all, as a comprehensive gaming group, even if they lose the gaming industry, they can still maintain operations by relying on real estate, hotels, and pellet games.
only.
Many, many years later, when players mention Konami's name again, they always think hard for a while before they can barely remember:
"Oh... Konami... I seem to have heard of this name... It used to be quite powerful in the gaming industry..."
"But that was all many years ago. This company has nothing to do with the gaming industry anymore..."
The sinking of the giant ship was silent.
However, human joys and sorrows are not the same.
After all, at the same time as Konami collapsed, Golden Wind and E-Game's "Industrial Revolution-level" exclusive masterpiece "Resident Evil VIII: Village" was also officially released at the same time -
…
Salad - Salad -
The cold air passed by.
Along with the heavy friction sound, Pew clearly felt the rough ground beneath him sliding continuously.
"Ward...fa?"
When he opened his eyes, Pew was shocked to find that his hands were locked in shackles and his legs were also tied with an iron chain.
The martial arts candidate was dragging him along the narrow corridor.
And the next moment!
With the alternation of light and darkness before my eyes!
Chaotic and confusing voices followed one after another——
[This man is useless, but my daughters love to "entertain" outsiders...]
[Let me take a look...]
[Go away, ugly bastard! Don’t block me! Oh—he’s awake! He’s awake! ]
[I mean, I mean... both of you shut up! Leave him to me, and let's put on a show...]
“This is fucking…”
Slowly opening his eyes, Pew instinctively tried to figure out where he was, but before he could finish his confused voice!
"Wardfa--!!!"
The scene in front of him gave him a shock!
But see!
At this time, he had been dragged to a small theater that had not yet been completed.
And standing on the steps directly opposite was the goddess Miranda, wearing a black cloak and a pitch-black mask!
Damn it! I was dragged to the boss' lair!
Not only was the big boss Miranda present, but sitting on the benches on the left and right were the Four Heavenly Kings seen in the portraits earlier!
Sitting on the bench on the right were the military candidate and a hunchbacked, fat, and dirty-looking weirdo who moved rather slowly.
On the right side, there sat a puppeteer in a black robe, with an unclear face, holding a puppet doll, and a——
"Jesus! Whoa! Damn it!"
Pew's mouth suddenly turned into an O shape.
The woman sitting next to the puppeteer was nearly three meters tall, wearing a slim noble dress, a black Windsor hat, and holding a slender lady's pipe in her hand. She exuded an elegant yet evil aura from the inside out, which made it easy for people to think of the monster in Japan's urban legend - Hachishaku Lady.
but!
This is not important!
The key point is——!
"Wow!!"
'Is this something I can watch without paying?'
"Madam, this... you can't do that, Madam!"
'The most vulgar episode (doge)'
'Ah P's eyes were straight'
'Miranda: I'm the boss! Are you being polite?'
"A hat? What hat? It's a really big hat!"
'This dress is so white!'
'Are you really talking about the lady's clothes?'
'Of course! What else? What do you think we are talking about?'
"Eh? You said that if the whole body mutates, it will make the body bigger... If I mutate partially, will it be..."
'STOP! If you keep talking about this, the live broadcast room will be closed!'
'Please don't expose your shortcomings in the live broadcast room'
"It has to be Lao Zei. He knows exactly what players like."
"I declare that Resident Evil 8 is the best character creation in the Resident Evil series! No doubt about it!"
"This thing hasn't been formed yet..."
'Who said it hasn't been shaped? It hasn't been shaped yet? How else do you want to shape it? Huh?!'
'These stupid netizens are so fucking abstract, hahahahahahaha...'
"……"
Here, the players admired the tall lady.
The Four Heavenly Kings were arguing over Ethan's distribution rights.
Everyone wants to get the power to dispose of Ethan.
Logically speaking, Ethan was a stranger who rashly broke into this strange village. He was just a small character and could be killed.
But now they are arguing and want to take me away and deal with me.
It seemed as if this was the best gift to the Mother Goddess Miranda.
But soon.
Soon, the chattering of the Four Heavenly Kings was interrupted by the Mother Goddess Miranda.
"My will is supreme, no need to say more,"
Miranda was like a fallen angel, with three pairs of black wings spread out behind her, showing her majestic appearance.
"Heisenberg, I have given you the order to deal with this man."
As she spoke, Miranda waved to the martial arts candidate.
The Magneto martial arts candidate also stood up and bowed slightly to Miranda:
"Thank you, mother."
Following right on!
Then Heisenberg swung the sledgehammer!
Boom!
The sledgehammer hit the floor heavily, making a heavy roar!
Pew, who was absorbed in admiring Mrs. Hachisha's white and large dress, was startled:
"Huh? What? What happened?"
It seems that he didn't listen to what Miranda said to Wu Juren just now, and was just looking to the left.
"I say... why don't we start the game..."
Seeing Pew's confused face, Heisenberg didn't waste any more words. He walked forward, leaned over, and smiled grimly with the corners of his mouth twitching:
"Show us what you've got, shall we? Ethan Winters?"
That’s it!
Heisenberg swung the sledgehammer and the huge hammer head hit him on the head!
Buzz! Boom! Crash——!!!
