Did Konami's downfall contribute to Bloodstained's success?

Konami's pr issues and their gaming output up to this year definitely coincide with Bloodstaned's success.   I think it was the kickstarter pitch video combined with Konami pr and the passionate fans of Iga and Iga-inspired 2D games that very much contributed to the success that it has been.

Spite and Anger can be a powerful tool when used correctly,In this case I would say for certain that Konami's bad behavior throughout this year had indeed made a beneficial financial impact on the kickstarter on this game just the same as when capcom was going ban-happy cancelling multiple megaman games and in turn when mighty no.9 was announced was a huge success

However Castlevania Symphony of the Night is a cult Classic,People like me signed up for this Kickstarter being a fan of the series,The fact I spite Konami now is just the frosting on the cake,I'm sure the kickstarter would have been a success either way but the whole Konami vs Kojima and the fact they pretty much written off castlevania as a mere pachislot machine I'm quite sure pissed a lot of people off and made them wanna stick it to them by donating to this campaign

I should also point out I am impressed at how well done the kickstarter was handled with the stretchgoals being shown as one of the first things to motivate people and that good admins like XombieMike were chosen to help with the forum here since you can take one look at admins and tell how big of fans they are of the series,Unlike the whole Dana debacle on the mighty number 9 forums...that whole mess wanted a lot of people to desire a refund

And as for Konami...I can honestly say after MGSV the Phantom Pain came out I was done with them,washed my hands clean of them like the smelly turd they are

Without question. The whole rotten mess with Konami throwing its games business under the bus to pawn pachinko machines aside, these sorts of crowd-funded games are doing so well because the large publishers have all but put several genres through the wood chipper in pursuit of the latest AAA shovelware fad. People still crave games of these types, and this is about the only way they're going to get them.
