Keiji Inafune Leaving Capcom!?!

[KaosuHamoni]

According to various sites, the man of Dead Rising, Megaman and Onimusha fame is remaining at Capcom, but only until the end of the month! I suppose we should of seen this coming when he said this. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.238228-Dead-Rising-2-Producer-Hates-His-Job] Its sad to see such a talented man leave the industry, but who knows, he may be bad, as he has said that he is leaving Capcom because "It would probably be good for me to sit gracefully in this seat and become a leading figure in the industry," wrote Inafune. "However, I cannot do this. Settling down means death for a creator. As long as you are a creator, you cannot settle down.". What he says is understandable, and I can see where he is coming from.

So basically all of the talent is leaving Capcom now? First, Shinji Mikami(creator of Resident Evil, Viewtiful Joe, and Ace Attorney), then Hideki Kamiya(another big head behind DMC, Resident Evil and others), and now Keiji Inafune???

That only really leaves a small few left*.....you got..Ono(leader of the SF4 team), Niitsuma(head of MvC3), and Kobayashi(creator of Sengoku Basara, and head of DMC4)

I'm slowly starting to lose my hope in Capcom =[

*Not saying that these guys aren't talented either, but the first 3 I mentioned were the Capcom big shots
