Capcom Refused To Let Keiji Inafune To Complete Mega Man Legends 3

Cant really blame capcom for this. Who the fuck in the right mind give their game to someone who made a huge scene when leaving the company? And now trying to beg for it using media and fan as the pressure?
If u own the business and someone slap u in tje gace saying he cannot work with u anymore. With whatever reason. Would u give him your work and money again after he left? Even kamiya never beg for dmc or mikami beg for RE. Those dude just keep create the new game and show what they capable of.
Inafune is just the huge loser in my eye after this news.

His games have been the only thing from Capcom I cared for this gen. I feel like a weirdo too because I loved Lost Planet 2, the game many seem to blame for the start of these problems. LP2 felt so Mega Man to me, as did LP1, and I wanted the series to continue pretty bad. Strangely, as a huge Mega Man fan I never cared for the Legends series, or the Battle Network series for that matter, but I wanted the Mega Man universe to live on so I had hoped Legends fans would get their game out.
The way I read his departure was that he told them he was quitting but offered to finish his projects as an outsourced developer, and I don't see anything odd about that. It was a gracious gesture, but I'm also not surprised Capcom didn't bite, and I figure he wasn't either. I think their relationship must have been fairly soured by this point, and I don't think anyone knows enough about these events that we can start interpreting them as mean/unfair from either side.

i feel like the prevailing zeitgeist of video games lately is just bitterness and negativity. i don't know. 9 out of 10 topics of discussion seem like just bad bad news. it's gotten really exhausting mentally.

What's illogical about being upset that the demo/prototype seemed to be ready and it's probably never going to come out? What's illogical about being angry about being blamed by someone on Capcom's payroll for the cancellation of the game when the original understanding was that the performance of the prototype would be the test?2&2 said:
Those things have nothing to do with Inafune.
Most of us are, not saying some fault doesn't fall on Keiji but Capcom canned the game for no reason2&2 said:
-Had a finished prototype and a team willing to work on the game
-Prototype was up to 3 hours long with 10 missions
-The prototype was actually fun
-Didn't even bother to release it to gauge interest in the series.
Now lets say if they released the Prototype and then canned the game because it sold like shit, that would be fine, but the way Capcom handled things makes it seem like they are just bitter at Keiji.
And honestly, that's probably what it is; he apparently wasn't popular with the rest of the executives, and the patterns are pretty clear.
Given what we now, he most likely made this offer to them before it became known that he was leaving the company.
Except he most likely made this offer before leaving the company, and if you look at things logically,there's no reason to think how you do.

JP game corporation can be ruthless.
OP needs to be updated to show that this quote is actually an old one and he made this pitch (and was rejected) by Capcom before he publicly announced his departure.
Just so we can stop the comments like:
Clearly quite a few posters here are oblivious to the order of events.

That would have been smart of Capcom, but they didn't. And we will never know why...

That's not really conclusive... Oh well, I just find it weird that a company would be throwing away a supposedly fine prototype that would have made them some kind of money (publishing on the e-shop mustn't be too expensive...) just because.
