To me, closing down Clover Studio was a big letdown, if not a down. That said, I merely base my comment on general opinion and sales, which doesn't necessarily make EA a total shite company; nor does it make Capcom one. Madden and Megaman games still sell, even if some hate them.
Okami, Viewtiful Joe 2/DS/RHR, and God Hand are all shit and sold accordingly. Closing Clover was not only good business, it was the right thing to do, period.

That had to be their darkest hour.
16 bit days was glorious, their 80s computer games are also classics.... yet I am very impressed with the quality and innovation they are putting out this generation. NHL 09 is probably the best hockey game ever (yes better than 94) and Skate is just unbelievable. Still I will go with 16 bit just because current gen hasn't ended yet. But if they keep it up, I am going to change my mind.
Populous came out in 1989 on the Amiga and PC.Quote:
