Survival horror has enjoyed something of a renaissance as of late. In such a climate, then, youd think that Konami, as license holder of the equally historic Silent Hill series, would be eager to follow in Resident Evils footsteps by announcing a new item or, at the very least, some sort of remaster.
Unfortunately, thats not the case. As if the publisher rather making use of the brands popularity by releasing gambling machines wasnt already enough of an indication in itself that Konami has no plans to restore Silent Hills dignity, theres further bad news to share. The series official domain name, SilentHill.com, no longer belongs to Konami and, in lieu of it opting not to renew ownership, is now up for sale. This is not joking, either.
