I only said that they make great games, never that the company itself is great. Their business practices in the last 10 years have gone to shit, but it still doesn't prevent me from buying Capcom games from series that still deserve my support such as Phoenix Wright.

No. You said I was exaggerating how much Capcom gets hated and then tossed in Bethesda, EA and Bioware in there saying they also get equal hate. They don't. Capcom gets exclusive blind hate.

Criticism =/= hate

People need to understand that it wasn't Capcom's call to use the X-Men or not. It was Disney's and their beef with Fox.

This but honestly not having X-Men is the least of that game's problems.

They signed the contract. They made the game. They cashed Disney's check. The terms of their agreement were, I'm sure, made abundantly clear. It may be Disney's beef, but let's not pretend Capcom is some victim here.

To be fair, Disney is extremely hard to deal with and you don't really say no to them. If it's not going exactly how Disney wants it, they have no problem dumping your ass. Capcom is nothing in front of Disney.

True, but Capcom also didn't need to make MVCI. I don't think anyone was asking for it, so it's not like this was some power play by Disney to take advantage of Capcom in their hour of need.

Every time Capcom does something fans don't like, there is talk of bankruptcy or a buyout.

Would anyone honestly even care at this point? They've bastardized or abandoned every series anyone gives a shit about at this point.

You're being pretty fucking disingenuous here. First of all, Disney is well known for making incredibly hostile contracts. They are like the ZeniMax of TV/Movies. Secondly, because they fucking own their shit despite Capcom publishing it, they can pull the plug on not just MvCI, but all other Disney games made by Capcom.

Lets take a look at just what's on Steam:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/525040/The_Disney_Afternoon_Collection/
http://store.steampowered.com/app/237630/DuckTales_Remastered/
http://store.steampowered.com/app/357190/ULTIMATE_MARVEL_VS_CAPCOM_3/

And they also made The Punisher.

So are you implying that Capcom was approached by Disney, TOLD they had to make MVCI, and then threatened if they didn't? Because otherwise my point still stands.

I never said people don't hate Capcom. I said that they get a deserved amount of hate. But they are hardly alone in receiving it. EA, WB Games, etc, all get their share. You said only Capcom gets hate, and that was blatantly false.

I actually don't want to see Capcom go completely under, I just want them to learn their lesson and start treating their players better.

For all their faults, they do occasionally make a game I love. Their REmake should honestly be the standard for how game remakes should be done. If they go under, I may never see the REmake2.

Yes. Well more accurately, I think Capcom was told "If you ever want to make a Capcom vs Marvel game again, you will do exactly this, with no X-Men or Fantastic Four characters, and it needs to be out and playable for X months before Infinity War"

That's fine, but that still puts the ball in Capcom's court. They could have not made MVCI, especially since nobody was asking for it. Again: they signed the contract and cashed the checks. You made it sound like Disney was threatening to kill ALL their contracts with Capcom if they didn't make the game in the first place, which it sounds like was not your intent.

EDIT: Or they could have made another "X vs Capcom" like they did with Tatsunoko vs Capcom years ago. It's not like Disney owns the "Vs" license.

Disney can and has pulled every marvel game from every digital marketplace in the past and I have zero doubts they will do it again if they can't get their way.

If you're going to post dumb shit about how the 'only' company that gets trashed is Capcom, I'll continue to mock you.

Beyond that, what the fuck do I care about Capcom? And I certainly don't care what anyone else thinks about Capcom.

The remaster of REmake and RE7 sold well, though Capcom apparently had extremely unrealistic expectations of RE7: 10 million lifetime sales...it only just recently hit 4 million.
