Why was Capcom broke again? what did they do that banished all the money they made during the 90s and 2000s?

Ono: Support for Street Fighter V planned up to 2020

You don't need to drop the game to start on SF6 but if I were calling the shots I would be working on a reboot, be it SF6, SFA4 or whatever, yes. SFV is never going to be what they hoped it would be and they are probably going to lose more players/revenue than they stand to gain over the next... 3 yrs. Four year legs for a fighter is whatever, I just hope they are working on the future while adding their expensive DLC packs to the current game.
Also, starting on SF6 doesn't mean the small group that will enjoy SFV for the next few years can't play or that the game can't be featured in tournaments. I just think being stubborn and sticking to your broken guns is a bad idea, which is par for the course w/ this company. The ship isn't going to turn around. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you want to continue to enjoy SF for a long time then you should want it to be not only successful but constantly growing the playerbase; SFV was and is a failure on so many levels in those regards, and it wouldn't surprise me to see SF6 get put on long term hiatus after Capcom says something silly like "we tried and nobody bought SFV, guess you don't like fighting games so we won't make them." We already know Darkstalkers got axed and we haven't seen/heard about any other Capcom fighters since the negative reception to SFV, and it's probably got a lot to due with self-inflicted brand damage. I bought every SF game but SFV was the last Capcom game I will ever buy before trying the full version.
Sony partnership/sponsorship/prize money/having the most organized "pro" presence (not saying much imo) have a lot to do w/ the viewership. Also pretty character models. The game isn't selling, regardless of your fascination with -- of all things -- viewership.
This is the kind of thing they are probably not going to do, because it would actually make the overall product more appealing. They should've put the DLC stages on hold and fixed this shit right away, but priorities included stages they knew would be banned and costumes that make characters unrecognizable.

Maybe they fix the shitty netcode by 2020..
Those games had two seasons. Injustice to a lesser extent since the second season only consisted of 2 characters, so it was more like an additional set of content.
But owners of one can play with the other.
Which is what many ask. They can release versions of the game with everything, while still supporting the day one release.
Their mistake with SFIV and Super was that you were forced to buy Super to get the new characters and content. Something that one can hope they don't do again.

I love this game don't care what anyone else says more support is always welcome.

Good news for people who love SF5, bad news for people like me who want new SFs (mainly spin-offs).
But the netcode's pretty good?

Anywho, is the clown who ordered the rootkitting of the pc version scrubbing toilets at Capcpom and a serious reworking of the backend in order? This news is only confirming what we already know.

This is optimistic. SFV hasn't set the world on fire, nor does it seem to have a long tail of purchases.
My suspicion is that Capcom will attempt to re-energize support with a re-release ala SSF4. If that does not work, then it'll be quickly forgotten about some time next year with maybe a final content or balance patch.

Is it? GAF has threads at least monthly since launch about how dead this game is. People were even doubting we'd get a season 2.

Good. So hopefully Sakura is in sometime next year!
They invested it into mobile ventures that failed miserably.
This is another big issue. If I recall, Sony isn't too keen on PS4-XB1 cross-play. If anyone, the Switch may have a better shot at such cross-play, but that still leaves the issue of Nintendo convincing Sony to let them have SFV on the Switch (though it would be an interesting way to cash in on Ryu in Smash 4).
In short, while Nintendo would have a better shot at convincing Sony to let them have SFV, I'm not expecting SFV to leave PS4/PC/Arcade for the rest of its 5+ year life.
PS4 and PC have cross-play and that one would need it, too. But there's no way of it happening.

Sony isn't keen on crossplay with the XB1 because they're the winning console this generation. Last generation they talked about being open to crossplay while Microsoft wasn't.
I originally bought a PS4 because I primarily play videogames to play fighting games and the likelihood that the majority of fighting games would appear on a Sony system was a no brainer. I eventually got an XB1 to play with my friends in FPSes and the like, a purchase I wouldn't have made if PS4+XB1 crossplay was a thing. I imagine there's a ton of people who are forced into buying a console they don't prefer because they want to play with their friends and since PS4 is handily outselling the XB1, there's higher probability that one's friends own a PS4 rather than an XB1.
So the same thing would apply to the Switch but on top of all this is how extremely conservative Nintendo is as a gaming company. If this generation somehow becomes the generation where consoles can crossplay with each other in a majority of online games I expect Nintendo to join them sometime in 2030.
I honestly have a good feeling about Sakura coming in Season 2, namely due to her popularity & her current appearances in the Character Stories. I think she even had a Daily Challenge dedicated to her, much like Oro did.

If Capcom actually adheres to their long-term support, I hope they'll at least launch another re-release of the title with all the DLC bundled on the disc. Got a bit burnt out on the umpteenth repackaging with the previous installment, but I'll gladly hold for the final revision once it comes to fruition and I guess it's nice to know the ballpark of when it might actually become a thing.
Not mad. Actually happy.
But also skeptical. Promises are super-cheap. Good content is super-expensive.
The struggle sounds real my friend.
Who knows, SFIV sold a million copies on 3DS. I don't think it would hurt to put this on XB1 and Switch at all.
Nintendo has already talked about cross platform gameplay and some Wii, Wii U and 3DS games alowed it. They don't gave a problem with it.
But is the kind of thing that is always up to the publisher and the other platforms. Heck, there are SCE and Microsoft related games on Nintendo platforms even. So ties to the "competition" don't seem to be a problem either.

This is good news. Hopefully we get more sexy girls like Elena and Blair.
Also hope they fix lobbies too. I want to be able to search by connection quality and make my own lobby title.

I don't think it's that simple and i really don't think Capcom wants to get on the bad side with Sony lol
History has shown that paying for something and even working on it means nothing.
Nintendo paid and helped in the Ninja Gaiden III RE content for Wii U... that then made it to 360 and PS3.
Nintendo also funded and worked Lego City Undercover on Wii U... which was just announced for PS4, XBO and Switch.
So who knows about their contract stipulations. More in this case were Sony partially funded this game, not completely.
Microsoft paid for Rise of the Tomb Raider, that game still eventually came to PS4. It can definitely still happen.
I would feel bad for Sony's lawyers if they were that stupid.

This isn't a Bayonetta 2 situation otherwise it wouldn't be on the PC. It's safe to say Capcom also has a huge amount of control over the game. Xbox one is out of the question but 3ds, Mobile...and some other non direct competitor can happen.
Yes, I'm totally ignorant of this fact. Can't you really follow, uh, one post I made before the one you quoted?
Microsoft didn't pay for Tomb Raider.
Seems pretty clear.
No, that doesn't mean they can call it Super/Omega/Ultra SF5 and just put it on Xbox.

Seems exactly like Bayonetta 2 to me.
Just like when Capcom said RE4 would never come out on any console other than Gamecube?

If it is a completely Sony funded game like Bloodborne why is there a PC version ?
It's most likely a deal where they aren't allowed to put it on Direct competitors like Xbox.
Bloodborne is first party. Sony owns the IP.
