Good riddance. For a long time now Capcom has been releasing many of the games I wanted to buy in Japan only or canned the ones I was waiting for (Rockman anyone...?). I enjoyed DmC quite a bit, but that's it as far as I'm concerned.
Capcom won't give me more Rockman, they won't release A.A. games here and we probably won't see the A.A crossover game either.
Capcom can go fuck itself and die with the rest of the game industry. Maybe a few years later,out of the ashes, we'll get better devs and publishers. That, and this whole debacle makes me want to pick up coding and make games myself. Btw: anyone could PM some good starter material/sources on game making?

It's good to like things. If you have fun with it, then have fun. You have to look at the source if someone gives you flak. Random Internet Stranger is always a poor source. That being said, there are plenty of reasons not to have bought the game. Hopefully they had inflated expectations, did make a profit and will greenlight another.1nfinite_Cros5 said:
OT Fuck 'em (UNLESS THEY BRING THAT NEW MONSTER HUNTER MMO HERE.) One of my favorite things in fighting games was to unlock new outfits and accessories for the fighters. For some reason, it's not as satisfying to have to purchase them. More DLC than you currently do? That's a great plan, Capcom, good luck with it.
The only Capcom games I remember buying in the last several years were RE5, Mega Man 9 and 10, and Dragon's Dogma.
MM10 was a step back from 9. MM9 was awesome and I had hoped it would have led to a rebirth of this dying franchise.
Dragon's Dogma was good, and could have been great.
RE5 was a disappointment all around and I avoided RE6 entirely.
Much like Konami, this once great company is circling the drain and seems entirely out of new ideas.
I didn't buy ANY DLC for any Capcom game, and probably never will.

This is seriously the only thing that came to my mind after I read this...
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say something I don't think anyone has thought in the slightest. I'm gonna say this is not going to work in the slightest...
Well, fuck you too Capcom.
Ah well. DD: Dark Arisen was probably gonna be the last game I by from them for a while anyway (unless they decide to re-release the Rival Schools series).

My word I finally get an excuse to post this picture! 
OT: Seriously I wonder why Capcom's sales are so low. Oh wait, maybe it's because you've managed to basically piss off your entire fan base with the recent stunts you pulled. I'm still pissed about Legends 3! >.<

Well, this is kind of a double edged sword. First, why are their expectations so high when they constantly change the format of their sequels. They should be reasonable expectations and they should figure out how to spend money more efficiently. This could mean switching to internal where they actually have the ability to control the cost... not that it will definitely change anything because most companies in the Triple A market are just fuckin' stupid when it comes to spending money. That said, Capcom definitely released better games when they weren't outsourcing to western developers. And a switch to more DLC could mean less "super mega ultra" editions of games and more games that you can buy more for later on rather than rebuying a game to get the extra content (ala the new Dragon's Dogma game). Though canceling projects they don't have high expectations for... well that's a bit of a mixed bag. It could mean more remakes... or more new properties as they can't possibly have exceedingly high expectation for new properties.
EDIT: I feel this needs to be mentioned, I'm so fuckin' pissed about Dark Arisen being a whole new game. I purchased DLC for the first release and all of that is out the window I'm sure... what useless assholes.

You know what? I want to see what their stockholders have to say about that... Something tells me it's not going to be that simple once they know what's going on.
Wow...so uh...I really don't know what to say. I'm rather stunned.
Is...is this the start of the collapse? Are we really about to see iconic game companies that have been around for years, decades even, disappear? What happens then?

It's funny, just the other day I was telling myself "You know what I really want more of? Day-1 dlc and games designed around selling dlc in general. Super Meat Boy, Minecraft, Shadow of the Colossus HD, my N64 & PS2 collections; those all would have been soooo much better had they been designed with selling dlc in mind!"

On a serious note, I don't play Capcom games so lucky me I guess. Still, I don't think Capcom understands the gaming market at all these days. You absolutely cannot compete with CoD or win over it's audience no matter how hard you try for one (just look at EA for proof of that), and blaming fans for a game's cancellation when they will not shut the fuck up about how much they want it is essentially suicide in this industry.
