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:
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
