NTA but you are retarded. All Team Silent games sold well, especially considering their budgets. Konami simply wanted Call of Duty numbers. Konami also wanted to turn the series into FIFA by forcing Team Silent to release every new SH game every single year. That's why they split the team to make SH3 and SH4 at the same time. They also forced Team Silent to change the vision of SH3 like 3 times (they originally wanted the game to be a fucking arcade style rail shooter because those were popular in Tokyo in the 2000s). Akira and Ito even said that they and everyone else in Team Silent felt that their role as artistic creators had taken a back seat right after SH2.

Konami disbanded Team Silent because of their own corporate greed. They disbanded the team because they believed that "western devs are the future" and it would be a lot less costly to outsource everything to random devs instead of doing anything in-house. They are still operating under this cold corporate logic
