That's exactly what I was talking about. The point of my post was to spell out what it means (or what little it means).

I think it's an attempt at redefining the word "social" to mean "microtransactions." Probably to turn a hated word into an accepted word, while getting customers to feel uncomfortable with rallies against being social, i.e. gamers will now rally to be "anti-social." LOL.

yet people are acting like the next capcom game is going to require you to have at least 100 friends on facebook in order to play or some shit

but you don't understand, they're making social smartphone games with OUR beloved IPs

every time Cacpcom makes a social game, a sequel to a cult-classic series dies before it can even get concept art made

they're the Phoenix Force of video game development

I hear they literally had a new mainline full 3d console BoF (with no DLC) ready to go and then had to cancel it for the ios game

You mean effed up social and monetary practices. And putting and detouring anything short of street fighter and RE , and even those two in some respects ,to the IOS and Web sections.

That thing they have been doing to put people in that state.

I wonder why people are worried


Do I know what they gonna do, hell no.
Do they have a history(a recent history) of poo practices, yes.

I understand why people is up in arms.

Capcom is probably going to do some stupid things in the future, certainly damaging their PR image at some point at least, but the cries going on are pretty much apocalyptic in tone going beyond any sort of "history". Some people make it sound they are not even making console games anymore.

2. When they say "I'm done with this company!" they actually mean "day 1 if graphics are good"

I dunno

Isn't capcom not doing so hot right now? Clearly people not buying something.

And as far as 1 goes...

Capcom gives peoples reasons to overreact. Though I guess its not overreaction when the reasons are .. reasonable.
 
If you got a premium Nico account, the 3rd Strike Pre-Cooperation Cup is starting up now.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv165122055

The Pre-Cooperation cup is 5v5 teams made of the same character (except for a couple of teams which allow for mixed characters.) Names such as Kindevu and Haitani are participating.

One of these days I may cave to get a premium nico account. I hope there are some good highlights though.

Yeah, DmC and SFxT turned out to be huge despite the initial backlash. Wait.

The Capcom is doomed stuff is pretty far out, but there has been a fairly consistent rejection of their AAA (and I'm using it loosely in the case of Lost Planet 3) offerings for the tail of last gen.

well then, maybe I was wrong.

I guess when it comes to Capcom, everyone really does just hate them. I forgot DmC had even come out

those rules still apply to other companies though like EA and Ubishit
