Man, this is an extreme bummer. I feel like he's a major part of Capcom and we'll see them suffer to a degree without him. I'm really worried about Mega Man now. Once the creator of Final Fantasy left, it seems like Square went apeshit with the series. Quality control out the door and spin-offs out the ass. I know that's the pot calling the kettle black when Mega Man is probably the king of spin-offs, but at least most of them are good. I think I can get where he's coming from though, especially what he says about developers in Japan. These days I'm so disenchanted with games and the few I get excited about are usually disappointing. Something has definately changed and not just me. I find it strage how the more life-like the games get, the more lifeless they feel.

I was simply implying that once you are on bad terms with the Japanese video game industry, you tend to have an unfortunate accident soon after. I edited my first post to alleviate any further misunderstandings.
