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 problem is that the possibly bullying ISN'T actually "on them." Gamers love to bully lower-level employees because that's who they can contact and reach and be heard from, they can't find and contact managers and higher-ups, so they bully smaller employees who are just working the jobs the best they can. So basically, the bullying on "Konami" is actually no doubt the employees who are also being fucked over by Konami, which if so is not deserved and veyr bad.

Konami would say some soft ass shit like this. Expected of a socially inept Japanese company to cry over some shit it deliberately did.

@matthewhhawk17 2 ай бұрын

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.

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.

Assuming it's actual threats of death and violence, just saying "oh they're getting hate" is a garbage take, especially when it's no doub ttower-level employee who are just working shitty jobs the best they can, and not the actual higher ups.

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

They over printed staples in a such short amount of time of those reprints instead of actually doing their hw. Dont get started of releasing card suppport for a deck with 1 or 2 reprints and not the research. How its said here"release that specific expensive card in a new set" but no. Its always been this way, same problem.

I think you're using bullying is a kinda odd way here. It sounds like your "bullying is good" is more about actual criticism and complains. Which I don't think people would actually say IS bullying. 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.

Unless they can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt otherwise, always assume all threats are from people paid by the company as a pr move, say as much, and treat them as bad faith as they have always been.
