Criticism
Capcom has been criticised by fans for having to pay for additional content which is already available within the game's files. A prime example is in the case of Street Fighter X Tekken, where 12 characters advertised as downloadable content were found completed within the disc. Capcom has defended the practice. In addition, the company has faced criticism from the gaming community for re-releasing the same game within a short period with minor changes or additions.
They were also criticised for shutting down all servers except the Japanese servers for the games Resident Evil: Outbreak and its sequel Resident Evil Outbreak File 2, which the servers for Outbreak and Outbreak File 2 in Japan finally closed on June 30, 2011, over three and a half years after shutting down the North American and European servers on December 31, 2007. They were also criticised due to releasing Monster Hunter Frontier Online only to Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese players, citing cultural and language issues with western players interacting with the Asian players.
Capcom was also criticized by Mega Man fans and gaming sites for cancelling Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe, for releasing Mega Man X and the upcoming Rockman XOver (Mega Man XOver) for iOS devices with low production value, and their handing of the development of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City to Slant Six Games and the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry to Ninja Theory. Ace Attorney fans also are criticizing Capcom for having no plans to release Gyakuten Kenji 2 outside of Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
