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:
“I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
