Lower asking price for titles? More like releasing trash games with more gameplay in DLC than the game straight out of the box.(or in the case of Asura's Wrath, literally incomplete games) They also lied when they promised to stop charging for DLC after the fiasco with Street Fighter x Tekken.

Also, especially BS on titles being priced less than their worth, Resident Evil: Revelations had its price lowered to the AVERAGE for a 3DS game, it was initially $49.99.

FINALLY ! Capcom's shitty business took a hit. Guess re-re-re-releasing Street Fighter and Disc Locked Content didn't help that much.

Holding back potential sleeper hits from the West because they can, and re-releasing/remaking the same garbage over and over is bad? Who knew? Laughing

Still buying Dual Destinies day 1, though, because Phoenix Wright.

The Disc locked content a lot of people didn't like.

Update the SF series a lot of people like. It helps to keep the metagame fresh and new without having to shell out $60 a year like sports game.

Capcom's issue is that of they do not make games people want. Who want's Lost Planet 3!?!? JUNK!

Give us Darkstalkers 4, MegaMan Legends 3, A NEW MegaMan game and some more beat um' up download game packs. I loved the Final Fight Double impact and D&D that was recently released.

Capcom WAS my favorite developer. Now they have a lot of work to do. And this garbage Breath Of Fire 6 online mobile phone and tablet game?!? Give me a break. Give me a REAL JRPG.

Seems that Capcom's garbage business practices have caught up to them. The DLC fiascos, blatant lying to the customer, betraying the entire Mega Man fanbase, refusing to release games with lots of mainstream US potential in the US because f*** the fans, they don't know anything... newsflash, Big C. THE FANS ARE THE ONES BUYING YOUR SHIT. Don't pull the "customer isn't always right" BS. We're the one's plopping down hard-earned money to purchase your crap, and you treat us like garbage in return. You've yet to give a straight, non-bullshit answer to the cancellation of MML3, you haven't addressed the widely-despised issue of disc-locked content, you've outright lied to us all on numerous occasions... you're about one or two years away from filing for bankruptcy at this point. Get a damn brain, guys, or you won't last long in this gaming climate.
