Capcom's Downfall This Generation. Part 1

Oh, how the magic has turned into mire. Capcom, once known as the
biggest Japanese company in the video game industry, has come into
forefront... of mediocrity.

First off, it's reusing ancient tactics that aren't necessary in this
generation due to the luxuries of technology's advancements.
Releasing expanded versions of the same game was cute when I was 10
years old, it isn't now.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has become the last straw for a lot of
gamers, especially when you consider using the the Japan tragedy as
justification to make it disc only, and then still announce more DLC
to come for UMvC3, post-launch.

This is a unfortunately, just one factor of faults that long time fans
are raging over, as there more taboos the company is causing as of
late...

Team Bondi's Constant Mishap. (Rant)

Brendan McNamara has sure left a messy legacy, it all started when he
and others were working at Sony's Team SOHO, originally working on LA
Noire when it was PS3 exclusive, plus Eight Days and The Getaway 3.
According to this twitter accout:

McNamara was constantly a sore ego and everyone suffered for it, to
the point where Sony got upset at $20 Million being flushed down the
toilet with no results and dropped LA Noire and them along with it.
(they also cancelled Eight Days and The Getaway 3 in the process)
McNamara took the rest of his other company, Team Bondi, and went to
Rockstar to finish LA Noire, bringing with him a lack of care for his
coworkers.

Now it's been revealed how ruined the final product turned out to
be,as well as the emplyees themselves at the hands of McNamara, to the
point where Rockstar are now washing their hands of them, announcing
they won't publish their next title.

Moral: Depending on the situation, karma can be real...
