I wanted to post this as a "Rumor Mill" type of post, but there is nothing more to support these beliefs beyond logic and a few whispers on the internet. But sometimes it is worthwhile to take a big gamble on something seemingly impossible - it just does not make sense to me that Hideo Kojima and Konami's Silent Hills can just be dead.
Not referring to the almost certainly false rumor that Microsoft could potentially save Silent Hills. Phil Spencer emphatically denied this possibility with a Tweet. And the logic of Konami's decision seems consistent, if not wise - they have more or less left the American market completely and delisted themselves from the New York Stock Exchange.
But if Konami is really going to axe this project, after all the hype and excitement it produced, after all the work they did producing such an unusual engine and contracting with so many big names, then Konami is dumb as hell. That is Capcom levels of moronic. But with master showman Hideo Kojima being involved we can never know what is truly going on. Are we getting played? Or does Konami really just not know what they're doing?
And if it is all true, when Allison Road comes out and does very well (which I can almost guarantee, it looks excellent and is filling the vacuum left by Silent Hills perfectly) everyone at Konami will be kicking themselves for years, no matter how much profit might have been saved by abandoning the West.
