It's been six years since there has been a Metal Gear game and instead of working on a new game they are just making a remake lol. AAA console games are too expensive these days for companies to make new games so they just try to keep re-selling the same games smdh.
Metal Gear is proof that Quality doesn't always sell.
doesn't seem like much considering how great almost every metal gear game is.

Most of the games in the series were also released in a time when games generally sold fewer copies. As far as I know, all the main entries in the series, aside from MGSV, have sold quite well for their time, and even MGSV has probably sold quite a bit thanks to its PC release.
