Why haven't they ever brought the Legacy collection or something similar to PS4/5? I know they barely care about their series anymore (yes, I did see the new article), but it seems like a relatively low effort project to make money off of.

Konami doesn't really like making video games anymore.

Konami only likes releasing horrible video games so they can assure their stockholders that they should stop making them and make more pachinko machines.

Yes, Kojima does not own the rights to MGS, unfortunately.

I knew that Kojima have no say when it comes to future games, but I wasn't sure if there was any kind of block from Konami releasing old stuff, that Kojima created. Wasn't sure about the legal gymnastics with this stuff. Thank you all for the clarification.

I mean the new Suikoden game has to release under a new IP (Eiyuden), but they're still doing it and Konami can't do a thing about it.

"Metal Gear" is similarly owned by Konami and they've shown no interest in jettisoning it. Because they are Evil itself.

Per the new article you mentioned they may finally be releasing the games on modern platforms but yeah they've always had the right to and just straight up didn't care.
