Oh, Konami! You sweet, adorable, totally not cartoonishly inept company who dashed the hopes of a Silent Hill sequel featuring Kojima and Del-Toro on the rocks of… Well, not the profit motive, that’s for sure!

Konami forgot to renew it’s rights to the official Silent Hill website domain, leading to a substantially more business savvy individual buying rights to the website from right under the company’s nose. Will things stay like this? The answer is yes, but actually no, but definitely maybe!

Konami does own the rights to Silent Hill (much to the dismay of the fanbase), so they may be able to reacquire the website in the future. Oddly enough though, this isn’t K-Dawg’s first rodeo with not bothering renewing websites of it’s IPs (intellectual property), so I wouldn’t be too worried.

What happened to SilentHill.com? Besides replacing every asset and link with a single screenshot of The Famous Pyramid Head Tweet (that was a fun one to write about), the meta description reads “He Was First”. Perhaps Masahiro Ito had some prior knowledge of this little prank, or it’s generally referring to the designer’s agreement with many fans that Silent Hill games dropped in quality the further they got from the third one.

On a related note, Konami announced sometime last year that games from “new and existing IPs” will be in development in collaboration with BlooberTeam, an indie game company. Will Konami try to replace the ‘P’ in CPUs to stand for ‘Pachinko’? Will BlooberTeam touch their hearts enough to magically make them gift Kojima with the Metal Gear Solid rights on Christmas Day? Find out next time on Dragonball Z!
