What with Sega running sonic into the ground (pun intended) , Capcom and its massive number of missteps and konami looking to kill its legacy and franchises my mind just cannot comprehend why they do this.
To work high up in these companies you need to be intelligent but think the problem is they are so far removed from the public and the people working on actually making products that they really have no idea. Not so much there head in the clouds more like there head just going past pluto.
I have worked for several companies at the ground level so to speak but i have seen many many frankly dumb decisions that me and people all around me knew would come back to bite the company in the ass we make our opinions known but of course nothing is done and all we can do is say told you so later on.
Companies reputation is really important i know Capcom are trying to improve there image with Streetfighter V that will have free dlc characters (though part of me wonders if that was more at Sonys request). And Sega have admitted the problems (but they continue to still do stupid things). Konami though do not acknowledge anything though and they continue to literally bury the past and they hope to make money in the mobile business.
Hate to say it though i think if a company plans to join the mobile business and release free to play games on android or Ios they maybe in for a nasty surprise. Fact is while making games for mobile will be cheaper there is a ungodly amount of competition and frankly a load of rubbish and any company attempting it may get lost in the crowd.
In the end most of the companies i loved are but shells of the former self but i just hope they good elements from these places leave and set up brand new companies.
