Capcom Europe is undergoing a major restructure following a difficult year.

MCV understands more than half of the European arm faces redundancy, with a number of jobs set to merge.

The Western business of Capcom has suffered after a number of its big titles failed to meet expectations.

A spokesperson told MCV: “Following a restructure at its US operation, Capcom’s European organization is currently evaluating its structure to ensure it is in the best position to take advantage of the changing market conditions the industry is facing.”

It's the end of Capcom as we know it..

“Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete.”— Rod Serling, “The Twilight Zone” The Obsolete Man

As much as I despise Capcom for their decisions for the past 3 years, its depressing to hear someone or a whole group getting layed off especially in this economy. It's like putting down a dog you've had for years.

They should merge with Nintendo. Gamers would feel confident they could buy Capcom games without their day one on disc dlc BS, Nintendo would get some dev teams with experience with HD game development along with a buttload of priceless IPs, AND we could have another Kamiya directed Devil May Cry game.
