Konami, the game company that players love Fxxk, recently did another Fxxk thing. Forgetting to renew silenthill.com domain name, the domain name becomes invalid and is bought by someone else.
Konami doesn't care that Silent Hill and its legacy are basically coming to an end, and the series seems to be completely marginalized by Konami. One example shows how much Konami cares about Silent Hill: The domain name of the silenthill.com is so long that someone else bought it because it wasn't renewed in time.
This isn't even the first time Konami has forgotten to renew. As early as December 2019, silenthill.com was found to be sold for $9835 by netizens, but that time Konami reacted in time, and no one snapped up the domain name before them.
But this time it was not so lucky, some rich and idle troll netizens quickly grabbed the domain name. Now if you type in silenthill.com in your web browser, you'll end up seeing a page with a screenshot of Ito's tweet that reads, "I wish I hadn't designed that fxxkin triangle." ”
By the way, this is indeed a tweet from Ito. Ito is the artistic director of Silent Hill 2, creating the "Triangle Head", a very iconic monster. But seeing so much repeated abuse later on, Ito once complained in a now-deleted tweet, "Using triangle heads in too many games makes it seem cheap." ”
While Konami happily let the Silent Hill series drift into the fog, Keiichiro Furyama, director and screenwriter of the first part of Silent Hill, was working on a wild horror game called Slitterhead, which would be produced by Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. So instead of expecting Konami to do something for Silent Hill, look forward to it.
