Sad, he was the one who pushed for PC releases of the Capcom games.

Sabin_Stargem: I this point, I am hoping that Capcom capsizes and their franchises end up with more appreciative owners. With any luck, Megaman and Ace Attorney would become part of Nintendo's stable.

SirPrimalform: Hmm, I kind of agree with you. If marketed properly, I'm sure the AA series would be very popular with the Professor Layton audience. In fact, I think if they ever localise Layton vs Wright that'd probably do the job for them.
All the Layton fans would buy it and realise how great Phoenix Wright is.
To me, Nintendo isn't just about the characters, but the worlds that those characters inhabit. Metroid wouldn't be the same without the dark and hostile environments that create a sense of isolation, while Earthbound possesses a quirky nature embedded in a world familiar to us.

Which is why I want franchises like Sonic, Metal Slug, Ace Attorney, and Psychonauts to become a part of Nintendo. Above anything else, Nintendo has often excelled at distilling what is the core of a franchise's nature and honoring it. This is more than I can say of some other companies, who usually misunderstand their franchises or witlessly pursue the largest audience.

Seeing all these publishers slowly crumble over the course of the next generation is going to be fun.

Well, except Activision.

Very troubling news, especially considering Mr. Svensson was the one most pushing for Capcom releases on GOG.
:(

sad news indeed hope the people find new jobs. Also sad if capcom games dont come to gog as there are some really good classic games out there.

I think though looking at the recent Resident Evil games where they tried to make them more mass market shooters to get more of an audience the signs where not good even then.

You need to buy a Gamecube or Wii and buy the Resident Evil 1 Remake, best survival horror resident evil ever.

Capcom's shitty upper management (this does not include Svensson, since he actually tried to do good for the company and is helping his former employees too) does it again.

Hope the laid-off employees find new jobs soon.

Maybe CDPR should hire them :)
