People think Capcom is in bad shape right now, and it's easy to see why. They haven't been releasing nearly as much new products as before.

One factor is that they could just be getting situated into the two new buildings they made for development. It could be affecting development as a whole, making things a little slower than usual.

Either way, though, it all comes down to the old saying about how "you gotta give some to git some." This is absolutely true for not just Capcom, but any company. If a company does not produce product to sell, the consumer has nothing to buy. If the consumer has nothing to buy, then the company cannot thrive. This is very simple economics. They need to get rid of whoever they have in marketing. Right, Fucking. Now. (Before it's too late.)

Sure, any marketing asshole can say not to make new shit because the economy is bad. Anyone can do that. A senior citizen with their savings stored in a sock could do that. However, that's not the way to make a company any money. HD remasters aren't the one solution to their woes, either. "HD remasters" of titles that already didn't do well in the last gen isn't a good idea. Trying to break even on them is a waste; the negative sentiment following this approach is warranted.
