I’ve heard many times that the reason the Silent Hill remaster collection didn’t turn out so well was because Konami lost the original source code and had to re-create it. But I don’t understand how that is possible. If they were selling copies of Silent Hill, why couldn’t they just take a single disk of it and datamine the source code off of it? How could they possess the game without possessing the game’s source code?

They didn’t lose all the source code, they lost the entire code for the gold version (release version) of the game, and some other parts completely, but they did have some late stage builds still available. There’s some fun dev stories from the people who made the remaster about them looking through old notes from the OG devs to figure out how they fixed bugs they were having to fix again.
