I was thinking the same, although I would love the reactions if Nintendo or MS got them lol.
| spemanig said: We aren't saying they will. They should. And Capcom is not worth "billions." Not when last year they where worth less than 200m. |
Last year they had $150 million in the bank. They are worth almost a billion.
| darkknightkryta said: Yes that's a possibility, someone buying up 100% shares, but for that to happen people have to sell them. The most likely scenario is a single entity owning a 51% or more stake in them. Which is very different from let's say, Yahoo buying Flickr. Yahoo bought Flickr and attemped to integrate them into their eco system. Someone owning 51% of Capcom can just be a shareholder yelling for more profits. |
You don't need to buy all the shares, just the majority.
For a hot minute I cared. Then I realized outside of Dragon's Dogma Capcom hasn't done much that I've enjoyed in years. Capcom are just as likely to ruin Dragon's Dogma as someone else so I can't really bring myself to care too much if they are independent or purchased.
Talk about overreaction.
Takeover is not something easy and if the target finds about it in time, you just lose a ton of money. I know Capcom being bought is a wet dream, but you guys need to relax...
Well they jsut selling some shares... so it may not be that bad. However in the event of where it may be possible...
Can Microsoft actually buy them? In other words would the Japanese government allow it? I know in Aus we have an agency that allows and disallows certain companies to buy out/merge for various reasons. Japanese pride may block that no matter what money Microsoft throws at it.

I don't know how I didn't notice that discrepency...
| gamemaster4747 said: This could be terrible or great. It depends on the buyer. Nintendo may not be the best. They may turn Street Fighter 5 into Street Fighter Baby Brawl! Street Fighter VS Nintendogs! Megaman in Happyland! I shudder to think. |
