I was listening to the podcast  http://radio.morningproject.com/ It's about Japanese games. 
During the Podcast they started talking about, on Japanese TV there was a whole news show about Capcom. 
On the show there was an interview with the president of Capcom. where he was quoted saying to the whole company, "You better be making games not art."
Then he also goes on to yell at several low level employees, about how they are all "Throwing billions of yen in the garage."
 Then something that translates to a slightly nicer way of saying, "If you don't make games that sell get the fuck out."
  I say this is like Bobby Kotick because he had the famous line "I want to take the fun out of videogame development."

  Bobby Kotick may be a bad guy but he did make Activion pretty much the biggest videogame company ever.
Even tho its bad sometimes horrible sons of bitches are good for companies.

This.  Also, they released Bayonetta! 
 
Then again, they also released Resident Evil 5 in two editions, Street Fighter IV in two editions, and both happened to use a "DLC is already on the disk, pay for the unlock of that content" approach.  There is also that whole Lost Planet 2 debacle...

Strange thing is I actually can get behind or respect the president of Capcom and Bobby Kotick. 
Because they are actually treating this like a business not happy fun time. There not like "Oh I don't know were just a bunch of crazy guys that are making a game."

Taken from the Capcom website: 

Executive Management:

Kenzo Tsujimoto Chairman and CEO, Capcom, Co. Ltd. and CEO, Capcom USA, and Capcom Entertainment

Hiroshi Tobisawa President and acting Chief Executive Officer, Capcom USA and Capcom Entertainment; President, CE Europe and Capcom Eurosoft

Mark Beaumont, Executive Vice President and Officer, The Americas and Europe, Capcom Entertainment Inc., CE Europe Ltd and CEG Interactive Entertainment GmbH

Midori Yuasa President, Capcom Interactive, Inc.

Which one is his brother again? Mark Beaumont died earlier this year. So it can't be him.
 
His replacement is David Reeves. Either that's him or it's complete bullshit. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Wait, why's he throwing money in the garage? Does that mean he's converting his car into a giant mech? The Fairly Oddparents already did it, and so did The Simpsons.

Until you realize that most of Activision's profits come from Blizzard, a part of Activision that Kotick has/had no direct control over.
Then you start looking at Guitar Hero, which is under direct control of Kotick and he managed to ruin that franchise to the ground!

Yeah, they did. It was made by ex-Capcom people though, so I'm guessing that's why jakob is confused.

@RobertOrri: That line was edited in as I was researching who the presidents of the varying branches of Capcom were and whether Kotick had a brother. The original post made it look like the guest on the podcast was supposed to be the president of Capcom, Bobby Kotick's brother. I didn't see the edit after I had already gotten it in my mind that the podcast was misrepresenting itself and made the second post.

Yeah they do a good job of keeping their business going. The only reason why I can't respect Kotick, and now the president of Capcom, is because they don't know how to stay away from the media. If they would just let their PR reps handle these situations then I would forget about them all together.

On topic, Capcom is seen in a much more positive light so I don't know if this was just an isolated incident or if this guy just doesn't have much influence in the affairs of his company.(Which doesn't make sense to me)

I've heard quite a few horror stories involving Japanese companies and their treatment of employees in general, so the big boss acting like an asshole doesn't really surprise me.

Bayonetta was made by Platinum Games, and lisenced by SEGA. I'm not sure if SEGA was a part of Madworld, but art or not, Platinum games make some awesome shit, and they're interesting to look at. Now, they just need to get ahole of the Viewiful Joe License...ah fuck who am I kidding? Capcom will never sell the rights nor ever make a Viewtiful Joe 3.

@CL60: I don't give a shit about labels. But to be mad at a guy because he wants to make as much of a profit for his public company, is just immature. Activision-Blizzard is just one game company, and its still making great games. So people need to hop of the bandwagon.
