According to GameIndustry, Capcom has a total of $152 million dollars in the bank.

To those who may not be so knowledgeable when it comes to the financials of these gaming companies, that is not a lot of money by any means. That’s actually a dangerously minuscule amount. To put things into perspective, Nintendo made roughly more than this in their 3 months alone. This leads to Capcom making huge changes for this upcoming gen, including an even bigger focus on DLC than before.



If we all thought that Capcom’s sneaky on-disc DLC practices were bad, well, it’s only going to get worse for now on. This could also mean that hardly and “exclusive” Capcom games will stay exclusive. Don’t be surprised if Deep Down comes to the Xbox One, seeing how Capcom is really in need of the cash right about now.

Even worse, of course, this is a next-generation transition. Going into the next gen with higher-budgeted projects and only $152 in your back pocket is very dangerous.

But in all honesty – and I’m sorry to say this – but I can’t feel sorry for Capcom. This is what happens when you nickel-and-dime gamers and sellout your most beloved franchises in the attempt of appealing to the masses. Capcom has continually betrayed their fans and have even buried their own beloved mascot, Megaman. They may finally get what’s coming to them.

Could this mark the beginning of the end for Capcom?

If Capcom really does go under, my best-case scenario would be their franchises being divided amongst other companies, like Nintendo getting Mega Man, Platinum Games getting Devil May Cry, Shinji Mikami getting Resident Evil, that sort of thing.

Capcom's not really that f***, if you ask me.

$152 million dollars sounds small for a large company but it's still more than enough to produce a good quality game. We saw Keiji receiving $4 million dollars for a 3D Mega Man-like project with Unreal Engine so Capcom could pretty much pack even more than that with the current amount of money they have (If they actually put their focus into it). The glaring issue with Capcom is that they like to f*** around at times when it's not really needed.

Resident Evil 6 cost Capcom about $100 Million to make and they're going into the next generation so games are only going to require even bigger budgets.

gta v cost around $250 million dude
