God I fucking hate this tired fallacious argument that gets trotted out every time a publisher does something stupid.fundayz said:
Here's a clue: who is responsible for Capcom's success?
In short, I have this to say...
Legends 3 was a game I was really looking forward to. Now, the only Capcom games I had in mind to buy were the Ace Attorney games and the Layton crossover, and it looks like the US is getting stiffed there as well. Wonderful. I wouldn't be as upset of the cancellation had actually given a reason for cutting development, but we get nothing. It is essentially a "We really, really wanted to, but didn't. Sorry 'bout that..." message to the fans.
I just don't understand it. I try and try to wrap my head around what the Japanese game companies are thinking, and it all just makes my head hurt. Well, I suppose it's time to whip out the NES, play Megaman 2 and sulk in disappointment and nostalgia.
... *sigh*...

Capcom is. They made a product and customers bought it, making fans along the way. Capcom should be grateful for their players' support but this doesn't mean they owe their players anything aside from gratitude and respect.matrix3509 said:
Cancelling a game is not an attack, a disrespect, or disdain towards customers. It's a corporate decision plain and simple.
"Without strong sales of the previous games in the series, it's a difficult proposal to make. Even I was skeptical that another Mega Man Legends sequel could succeed" - Keiji Inafune
Now, I'm not saying fans don't have a right to be disappointed or even annoyed, but throwing a hissy fit just because a company deemed a game to not be a wise financial investment is downright childish.
P.S. I am not defending for any of their other actions, many of which ARE dishonest and warrant the loss of customer loyalty. However, cancelling ML3 is not one of them.
P.P.S. I am a huge megaman fan and deeply disappointed that ML3 is not going to be finished, I just realize that just because I want something doesn't give me the right to berate others when I am not given said thing.
So far I haven't seen any mention of this, so I'll throw it out here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/100000-Strong-for-Bringing-Back-Mega-Man-Legends-3/149316248475958?sk=wall
It's a Facebook group apparently dedicated to trying to convince Capcom to put Legends 3 back into production. There's also a petition floating around as well: http://www.petitiononline.com/mml3bck/
So maybe there's hope for it still? Who knows. It would be nice, for sure, to see it brought back, but of course we can't depend on that happening. And if it does, who knows when that will be. Wait too long and it might just turn into another Duke Nukem fiasco...

This is why I'm happy that Keiji Inafune just left and said "F*ck you Capcom"
As much of a Capcom fan I am, I honestly can't stand the bullshit they dish out to the Megaman Franchise and fans. It's degrading on a Grandiose level
Signing a petition or liking a facebook page is much easier than making the decision to enter your credit card info and buy a game. Companies don't take it at face value as "this is how many sales we'll get".GlenTheFox said:
What might be cool, though, is a pre-emptive sale opportunity. Basically, before the game has even been okayed for production, people are allowed to sign their name on a specialized preorder list (that maybe offers a decent discount from the final price). It saves your credit card info and gives you a claim ticket, but doesn't charge you unless the game is made (until actual preorders are accepted). If it fails and dies, no charge. The key would be that there is no cancelling of this investment; it is a hard and solid factual indication of "This is at LEAST how much money we'll get from making this game."
Yeah, I'm actually one of those extremely disappointed fans. I followed the development of this game closely through the Dev Room (Capcom's official site) and I was so excited about it. Then this.
Seriously, Capcom? It can't even be released for XBLA or PSN? I mean, going after the 3DS was a fail move. 3DS isn't selling well and well, PS users deserve it better (Dick move, Capcom, but whatever). I'm pretty sure that if it was released as a downloadable game, it would sell. Or! If they're worried about the game not selling well, release a special edition for the PS3. I dare you. I assure you it will sell.
I find it hard to believe and incredibly insulting at the same time that MML3 was cancelled forever and ever with no hopes of ever seeing a sequel anywhere. Or at least that's how they made it sound. They didn't say anything about putting down the project for a while.
So what's up, Capcom? First this, then that "Nature hates us!" MvC3 bullshit statement. Then DmC (I'm still not convinced about Edward-Dante). I'm sorry, are you guys too busy milking RE? Is it too much to ask to NOT ignore your one true mascot, the Blue Bomber?
It seems Capcom has a vendetta against Megaman ever Inafune left Capcom. Megaman not being released for MvC even though he was obviously a requested character (Fuck you, Capcom. Say what you want but you know it's true. He couldn't have been less requested than Firebrand). Then Universe, now MML3. Hmm...
Anywho, I'm done. Say goodbye to another customer, Capcom. That's all you're doing: digging your own grave. Sad but true.
EDIT: The day that a petition works will be the day rain turns into poop.
