Well I'm sure most of you have heard the news.  Hudson Soft  becomes a part of Konami.  This made me very sad.  Let's hope Konami keeps the spirit of the company.

I don't want to say goodbye

I don't want to say goodbye to Hudson... Konami must retain the employees of that company.

I guess Hudson finally

I guess Hudson finally bombed.

 

... ughhh, sorry!

Always sad to see a game developer go, especially one that gave me many fond gaming memories.

Well, Konami has actually

Well, Konami has actually entirely owned Hudson since last year, and the U.S. division of the company was also shut down already, so here in North America, not much will change, I assume. :/

Keeping the brand around is

Keeping the brand around is not good since it is the original people that made you want their products, e.g. Rare and RCA.

Around the time Square merged

Around the time Square merged with Enix and they stopped making games I was remotely interested in playing, I lost faith in God, sold my soul to Satan, and can no longer feel emotions like normal humans.  So this doesn't really bother me so much.
