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.

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.

I saw this post on their official I Instagram as well. Many players were really upset about the ban list not being released sooner and even the ban list itself. As for the Dragion thing people really need to grow up. People had months to pick that card up before it went up in price. If you really wanted to play Tenpai you would thought of this before hand.

When I was looking up this monster for Edison format, I was surprised to see what it's price tag was for such an old card. I originally thought it was due to the lack of reprints and rarity, but it wasn't until I saw this video that now I know the real reason why Trident Dragion is a $100 card.

I hope it was Konami overreacting to twitter bots and not people actually spewing threats and other nonsense. Doing that weakens real criticism and distracts from issues that can be fixed.
Konami doesn’t surprise me, prime example of gaslighting. Feedback is how any business grows, if you can’t take the criticism maybe the problem is with you as the company.

Tbh I think the biggest thing is if Konami actually listened to their community and made some decisions that made everyone happy. Then ppl wouldn't get all that mad at them since Konami can say they listen to their players at least a little bit
@baxterbruce98273 ай бұрын
Maybe this is just a sign they should throttle down on Power Creep a bit (Because everything good is a meta warping superthreat) and reprint any cards they're planning on making legacy support for, at the same time or even BEFORE the Legacy support comes out People wouldn't be this mad if Dragion suddenly got a mysterious reprint a few months before Tenpai came out (Or even in the same set)
@spitfire71703 ай бұрын
considering present day internet culture, I don't think Konami is exaggerating on the severity of the behavior, only the scale on a semi related note, look at the things some people online say about anyone that plays traptrix, it gets REALLY bad...

All Konami care about is making money off of yu gi oh, they do not care about the game, they do not care about you, they do not care unless it is spelt M O N E Y sorry to break it to you guys. 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.

Ex YGO Judge here...still an avid player. I don't condone violence or any threats but let's be real if a company has shitty practices, players are more than entitled to voicing that. Not only that but the actual employee and quality of judges at events/locally is horrendous. No organizarion just people who care about money and free product. I know some head judges who are not only extremely scummy but known for being just that. YCS Raleigh gave me a reminder of this.

It's OBVIOUS that konami is lying about the alleged threats of violence to garner fake sympathy and deflect from the fact that they are terrible corporation that has been ruining yugioh for far too long now and should not be running the card game anymore. There is no proof whatsoever of anything they allege.

For the younger generation it 10 years ago they were 5, now 15. They have no way, and probably don't know anyone with a Trident dragion. Teens don't have lots of cash to buy old cards. Like this is the next generation of players being locked out of the game

Very ironic coming from Konami, who also barred Hideo Kojima from accepting the Best Action Game Award during The Game Awards 2015. Also, you have to be your biggest fan AND your biggest critic. Criticism is healthy. The problem is Konami can't handle it

They over printed staples in a such short amount of time of those reprints instead of actually doing their hw.

Its always been this way, same problem.
