Konami is a washed up dev house that hasn't put out much of anything good in the past 10 years. It's a wonder they are still in business.

Technically speaking they are not the one developing the game, they are the publisher. They are still in business because they are a big publisher and maybe they were able to made a deal with the developer.

They are technically separate games...but you are right of course from a logic perspective. This is like Case Zero for Dead Rising 3, except that one was like five bucks I think. I will still get it, just to support them, but it ought to be cheaper, ten to twenty.

they may sell it around $20 in a few months... not worthy even at $30. Unless it include the Phantom Pain.

Agree that $20 at most is what it should be. Up to us if we agree to pay more and support them. I am leaning towards paying for it when it comes out, someone needs to subsidize new devices, new development etc :D

 I dunno I could just run down to the my local family video and rent it for $5 considering it's only a 2-4hr game. Not sure if Redbox will have PS4 titles but there may be another option for some out there that no longer have rental places available.

That could be a good option, if rental is still viable for you where you are, and you have the patience for it, do it. This is THE GAME to rent rather than buy if possible, unless you really want to support them and/or are collector. Personally gave up on rental - not the overly patient type so Gamefly is out, they drove me nuts. And i was already nuts to begin with!

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
