| Xxain said: There is a lot of misunderstanding in the CAPCOM. They are NOT up sell. They are NOT interested in a merger. All that was their takeover defense was not approved. That just means so douche bag can buy enough stock to have control over CAP's. This more of threat from CAP's investors pretty much saying "if you dont get your act together theres no takeover defense save you" |
A fair point, but this does signal a lack of shareholder's faith in management and a certain cynicism in Capcom's prospects.
I guess I just find it strange to see gaming enthusiasts cheering for more and more publisher consolidation. Nobody seems to feel that bigger and more powerful publishers are bringing more diverse or compelling products to market or adopting more consumer-friendly policies.
This isn't even the enthusiastic consolidation of a growth industry, but the bargain-hunting opportunism of a saturated market. It's about destroying inefficiencies (read: diversity), not enabling new opportunities.
