Good point. I think Sven got a lot of flack for stuff outside his control.Hey Sven, since I know you're reading this, I always thought you did the best job you could and the bulk of the criticism directed to you seemed to be a result of the fact that as an American executive for a Japanese company you were frequently caught between a rock and a hard place in terms of having to do your bosses' bidding while simultaneously being the public face for some unpopular calls. Best of luck finding a new gig.
While you´re at it Capcom, fire all the people that are responsible for us not getting a single decent Resident Evil, Onimusha or Dino Crisis this gen.
This sucks. Best of luck to Sven. I always gave him the benefit of the doubt when delivering bad news since I knew it was in fact Capcom JP's doing. Only so much he could do.
I worry about this might mean for fans of Capcom.
Capcom can now freely make their Marvel patch now. They can't be accused of lying now because the guy who answered the questions is not with them anymore.
So much for AA5 retail. Oh well, thanks for trying, Sven.
Good luck out there.

As opposed to the better alternative of you and many others losing their jobs as well?

It's sad and hard to see how Capcom is drying out but well Capcom todays situation it's cause PSX/PS2 bolted brains Inafune, Kamiya, Mikami.
I'm not even worried about that, my fears rest solely on the matter that if AA5 doesn't meet or surpass expectations, the series life in the west will end both digital and physical. I'm sure Capcom considered skipping the game in the west entirely and they compromised on the current strategy.
Sven is the biggest reason Capcom has a presence on the PC now. He pushed hard for that shit. If someone doesn't step into his place for that, PC Capcom fans are in trouble.
Fuck, I just remembered this. The dream is dead.

Resident 1, 2, 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, DMC3 were on PC.Sven is the biggest reason Capcom has a presence on the PC now.
What? None of these people are with the company anymore.
Hell, it even seemed like getting the ball rolling for localizing AA5 period was like pulling teeth based on his comments a little bit after the localization announcement.
Resident 1, 2, 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, DMC3 were on PC.
Yeah, that's true. Though I'm not crazy about it being digital only, I understand why it had to be done, and I appreciate he was able to get the localization ball rolling.
I kind of have to wonder what that means for the series going forward, though.
I guess it would be attitude and disrespect if you were one of the morons he countered with logic and reason.
I know I might have spent a lot of time infuriated by his years of teasing MH news but I know he was always trying to get those games over here. Here's hoping the series still has a future in NA now that he's gone.
If enough copies are sold, the series will continue to be brought here, I'm sure of this. That's why we need to support AA5 as much as possible.
Don't even joke with this shit.Next week in capcom corporate news

Now I don't have to use the "don't believe his lies" posts.
And RE5 and DMC4 are a pieces of shitty ports.None of which were like the ones we have today. DMC3 in particular was a lazy and atrocious port.
Resident 1, 2, 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, DMC3 were on PC.
And RE5 and DMC4 are a pieces of shitty ports.
But what is "enough" copies? Sven expressed that Capcom wasn't really satisfied with AA:I's sales despite how it sold inline with almost every other game in the series (and they skipped out on AA:I2 anyway).
You can still turn it around, Capcom.
Release Mega Man Legends III on PS4. You'll win us over in a heartbeat.
