What's Capcom's biggest recent f*** up?

Releasing the same game with 2 new characters 8 times.

It's really tough to choose, as alot of them are a toss-up for worst boneheaded decision the company's made. Which is a testament to how crap they've allowed themselves to become.
But I have to go with effectively destroying arguably their most iconic IP, an IP that's made them a ton of cash and could still if they weren't being asshats about it.

I can't say SFxT in general anymore. The 2013 update completely reinvigorated the game and it's quickly become a favorite in the fighting game community. It's expected to get a strong showing at EVO2k13. Of course it also took them this long to get it right, but they get credit for not just cutting their losses or releasing a revision instead of a free update.
I also can't say SSF4AE because that was quickly rectified with the far superior (and free) AE2012, which is easily the best version of IV.
I voted for Megaman Trolling (especially that guy blaming the fans for MML3 being cancelled; real classy) because it reeks of corporate pettiness due to Inafune leaving Capcom. I also voted for Resident Quick Time Evil 6, the way they handled the DLC characters in SFxT, and the DmC reboot. I don't know what the reviewers are slobbering over because the gameplay is functional at best with a laughably awful script and story.

When all of a game's DLC is already on the disc, that's just wrong.

I voted for the Megaman trolling, the SFxT DLC characters, SFxT in general(even with the update fixing a lot of problems with the actual gameplay Capcom literally f***ed up the launch of every version of the game and took almost a year to actually make it a good game), RE6, asura's Wrath ending DLC(you should f***ing get the proper ending when you buy the game!), UMvC3(not because they made it, we all expected it, just not within 8 months of the original's release), and other. For other I am including things like their DLC policy in general, and them busting out their old school bullshit of yearly on disc updates for their fighting games, with them only recently going the much cheaper route of downloadable updates.

Releasing the same game with 2 new characters 8 times. That's hardly a "recent" mistake... that's been their bread and butter for years. |

It's hardly their biggest mistake, but I will forever hate them for depriving me of my Ace Attorney Investigations 2.

This company is ghetto. I still love all the various franchises/games/characters they've given us over the years, but now they're getting into that TNA territory of shortsightedness. |

BULLSHIT!!!!! Something tells me they intentionally made it so that game had no hooks in its coding for DLC expansion. Normally I'd admit that would be a huge jump to make conclusion wise, but......well we already established they have a shitty DLC policy. I swear if there is anything that has made me regret the consoles being able to do DLC it isn't things like the online passes, or day one DLC or even pre-order DLC, it is letting Japanese publishers abuse the holy hell out of it. At least Namco, Square, and Tecmo have mostly limited it to additional costumes for characters. Capcom, though? Damn have they f***ed with us via DLC, haven't they? |

The "DLC" on the disc for SFxT. You'd think they would've learned from the alternate attires "DLC" debacle from SF4. The rest I either don't know about or don't consider a f*** up, especially not SFxT as a whole. I keep hearing people complain about the gem system but I really don't get what's supposed to be so wrong about that game, as I didn't notice the gems to change much (not to mention I'm pretty sure they can be deactivated anyway).
What's the Megaman trolling though? That sounds interesting.

This isn't everything, but it's what I remember. - Capcom cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe, blaming the fans for it. - They're 25th anniversary game was a rail shooter for iOS devices - They announced Mega Man was going to be in SFxT, but not only did just PS3 owners get it, they got this:  |

What's even funnier about PS3 owners only getting fat, boxart Megaman is that it's since been confirmed he is on the 360 discs...just locked. Hackers and modders just haven't figured out how to unlock his data yet on the disc, or if it's even possible.
Which I imagine it is. It wouldn't surprise me at all if eventually Capcom ran a "DLC" of him for the 360, or some special event to allow gamers to get him.
