Dear Board of Directors at Konami Holdings Corporation,
We, fanatics and consumers of your Silent Hill franchise of products, have heard Konami's announcement that the company is refocusing its efforts towards mobile gaming and machines for casinos and pachinko parlors. In the best interests of everyone involved, we therefore humbly ask that you cede the right to further intellectual property of the Silent Hill franchise; as well as the rights to profits from the aforementioned franchise's further installments and their related merchandise; to Kojima Productions Corporation, Limited.
We, who have signed this petition, agree that with the release of P.T. (officially by 7780s Studio) and the promise of a new installment to the franchise, Silent Hills (which would have been directed by Hideo Kojima), the last hope for a Silent Hill game that would satisfy the series' fans lay with Mr. Kojima. However, upon the cancellation of Silent Hills; the removal of P.T. from the PlayStation Store; and Mr. Kojima's subsequent departure from your company, your previous consumers have commenced a global boycott of your products. Konami's very name has been blacklisted by much of the gaming industry in protest, even in the field of mobile gaming.
While we respect your corporation's reorientation towards mobile entertainment, we have absolutely no interest in purchasing any Konami products, Silent Hill or otherwise, as long as it holds the rights to license, produce, and profit from any further Silent Hill-related materials. The only way for you to turn a profit from this franchise henceforth is to sell its rights to another console-gaming corporation invested in the series. As Kojima Productions have already proven, they are interested in and more than capable of nourishing the needs of Silent Hill consumers. These very consumers' needs must be met in order to dissolve their worldwide, solemnly damning sentiments towards the Konami Group.
We ask you, Directors, to forego any and all negative emotions concerning cooperation with Kojima et al., and to put the fate of the Silent Hill franchise back in the hands of committed creators.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Ryan Shaffer and concurring entities

I just spent the last hour reading through all your comments about the canceled game and honestly the frustration is just so palpable because we all know what could have been. Konami is staying completely silent on everything but I am still firing off emails to anyone who will listen because this series deserves better than being tucked away in a dusty corporate vault.

I honestly cannot believe how many people are still jumping on this because seeing the momentum grow makes me realize I was not crazy for feeling so frustrated about the state of these games. It is wild to look at the comments and find so many strangers who miss the same creepy atmosphere that I do and it honestly gives me a bit of hope that things could actually change if we keep pushing.

I need a new silent hill if konami is just going to let it die they might as well sell it to someone that wont. No horror game is a proper substitute for a new silent hill and millions of loyal konami customers will hate the company if something doesn't happen with this soon.
Konami must be stopped. Silent Hill still has potential, potential shown by the popularity of P.T.
This would mean the world to me since obviously you have lost interest in this series
The fans are so disappointed, especially after PT which was just brilliant. Give Silent Hills a chance with Kojima. PLEASE
Seriously, your company is now trash. Please sell any and all quality franchises such as Silent Hill to someone who could use it.
This is one of my favorite childhood games of all time! I would love to see it resurface and start up all over again!
PLEASE KONAMI JUST SELL IT MAKE A PROFIT AND MOVE ON

Please give us the opportunity to play further Silent Hill instalments for consoles even if you don't wish to make them yourself.
