he was the mouthpiece (and whipping boy) for bad news so we at least had the illusion that Capcom cared even a little bit

From here on out when the company does something shitty we won't even be able to pretend that we can do anything about it


IT IS IRONIC THAT GTAV, THE GAME HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAY IS WHAT LEAD TO COMPANIES WANTING TO MATCH SALES OF THE THING AND WHAT LEAD TO THE DOWNFALL OF THE JAPAN GAMING INDUSTRY


soon, nintendo will be the only one standing, and that won't last long. GungHo eating the husk of every Japanese company is starting to look like more of an okay thing every day.

If Capcom and other Japanese companies like Square Enix run themselves into the ground thanks to clueless morons in Japan, so be it. I'll feel the same way about it as I did with LucasArts earlier in the year, the result is completely deserved.

It's not Japan being stupid, it's Japan trying to do what they do best: emulate someone else to make a better product. I'm at work, so i'm less coherent than usual, but this problem isn't limited to Japan. Every large creative company is undergoing layoffs right now, and it's because someone isn't bringing in a shitload of money after spending a shitload of money. It's bad in all directions.

Capcom needs to go back to what they were during the nes to PS2 generation, what they've become is pure shit. Stop outsourcing all your franchises to shitty western devs and stop trying to make every game a copy of some western game.

...but that's what sells.

It'll sell to me if it's cheap enough in this steam sale, I'll tell you what.

And that's a big part of the problem, like not all of it, but something something devaluing the product they're trying to make money off of

They'll just drop Street Fighter (II)V and make all the money.

Street Fighter II V Tiny Wings clone that if you wait long enough, you can get for free

MONEY IN THE BANK

Wait, Finch has a job?
