    I think this happened because of the bad call banlist hits. Since then, duelists have been busting the chops of the company and when a card manufacturing plant goes down in Europe where product is left off the table, I can understand.
    Back on the banlist issue: Banning Linkuriboh as the "Snake-Eyes hit" was a piss poor call and the Raleigh regional data having abou 60% of the tops being this deck proves it. Konami has stated that, and you covered this Cap, that banlist hits are to make it so no one deck is too powerful in competitive play. And Players showing Konami that they didn't stomach their own story probably isn't sitting well with the business RN.
    I still think Trident Dragion will get a summer reprint, like Snake-Eyes finally getting properly checked in the summer, but duelists are just fed up with the "Too little too late" mindset and use the collected data to bust their chops.

    There was no harassment. Nor was there any actual bullying, maybe a few HR people got angry emails(the horror) over the numerous missteps the company has made. It's a smoke screen, classic public relations cover. Likely because they are indeed trying to quell people from being too talkative about how much they loathe Konami's practices. This is a warning to not get too vocal if you have the reach or else you'll find yourself on the naughty list. Something they can point back to if/when someone gets banned from events for 'harassment' aka talking out against them and more importantly having enough reach to make that call out matter.

It can still be badly used if the criticism is bad or it's sent to the wrong people, But I disagree with you saying bullying is good because I don't think what you are saying is bullying.

  • @alucardstalker
    @alucardstalker Před 3 měsíci

    The sad thing is that this isn't the FIRST time Konami's gotten flak for dumb decisions regarding their IPs. On the gaming side of things, they've caught a lot of flak for their handling of the Castlevania and Metal Gear franchises--to the point where they STOPPED making Pachislot games in Japan, because it was hurting their revenue due to their target audience not playing the games.
    In fact, I'm pretty sure that the only reason the Castlevania and Metal Gear fans even got a release of a collection of the older games in the first place is because there were those who kept complaining about how Konami was basically ignoring some of their biggest money-making franchises. They eventually relented and re-released older titles, but they have yet to give a new title in the series or even update some of the other games they worked on for release.
    My point is this: if it DOES turn out that Konami is only speaking out due to the constant badgering and complaints from the Yu-Gi-Oh player base, the company really has NO right to complain at all when they have a HORRID reputation for their poor handling of IPs all across their company.

The very fact that they release game breaking decks after the last game breaking deck, is so you are forced to buy into said deck, or face getting whooped 9/10. So you buy the shit out of packs etc, get the deck, and then months down the line because the deck was game breaking, they have to put bans on certain cards. This alone shows that when creating cards, monsters, effect etc they aren't complying with keeping it fair, it's literally a scam and we all fall for it. They should be sued for this exact reason because those are some scumbaggy practices.
