This makes me wonder because wasn't Capcom company up for sale few months ago and we had threads about who should buy them etc..so why didn't MS buy them and prevented SF5 exclusive from happening and couldve made it reversed. But I guess Minecraft was more important.

Nope, they were never up for sale. The only thing that happened was they never renewed their protections on getting bought out. Since it's now possible they could get bought plenty of people started saying who should buy them and what not, but it is very unlikely that anything actually comes of it.


While not actually being for sale, removing the protections against buyouts is usually a signal that they are open to the idea of entering talks on selling.  The fact that nobody has even nibbled at that signal shows how far capcom has fallen.  Gaining the ip's would be great, but having to deal with all those employees who are almost impossible to fire due to local laws makes buying capcom a very risky endeavor...
