It really is too bad . It's sad to see that it's happened to Capcom as well.
Aye, its actually sad to see what has happened to all ex sega staff,they seem incapable to produce a great solid game like they did when they were in Sega. i think its to do with one undeniable fact. In sega there was a safety net,the developers could make any game they wanted and the main board would have always supported them,so they took more risks in creating original and innovative software. But now that safety net is gone they have to make games that can make money and appeal to everyone. Half of the games i've seen/played from these former sega alumni are very toned down versions of titles that more likely would have reached their potential within Sega.
Unfortunatly even the safety net within sega has been removed but now and again we do see glimpses of the type of games that sega was built on.
