More bad news for Capcom

Post by Aramonde »

Capcom announced that it had slashed its profit forecast for the year.
Capcom's expectation to post a "special loss" for the year primarily came down to the company's struggles in the mobile business, the publisher said.
Oh i'm so surprised, i mean no one could have seen that coming. :twisted:

Hopefully this signals the end of the ridiculous amounts of DLC that Capcom is so in love with, as well as a return to their core audience.

I know is sad that capcom is in trouble but is still kinda funny to see them diggin their own grave... well funny and sad at the same time.

This seems very relevant for some reason

10 year old me would have been very upset by this. 20 year old me would have been worried. 30 year old me takes a sip of coffee and tries to type the word schadenfreude four times before letting spell checker take care of it.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Meh.

Even if Crapcom manages to go away, some giant like EA will come in and sweep up all their IPs and you'll continue to pay out the nose to play titles you used to love with decreasing quality, for nostalgia's sake.

Admittedly, when did we start to feel this way about Capcom? For years they were my favorite developer, but at some point it all went to shit. Was it 2009, when Resident Evil 5 came out? In the early to mid 2000s, they were still giving us cool stuff like the Mega Man and MMX collections, the Onimusha series, the first Dead Rising, the classics collections, and trying to revamp Resident Evil with RE4. Hell, Mega Man 9 was 2008! What happened with them?

Loads of DLC? The cancellation of MML 3? Ignoring other popular IPs? Making the RE series a disgusting joke?
