It's a shame and actually a little surprising to me, considering their success with Dead Rising 2. There have been quite a few video game studio closures and firings in Vancouver this year, but I was hoping Capcom Vancouver wouldn't get caught up in any of that mess. The "unsuitable fit with the studio goals" tweet wasn't the most tactful way to send off former employees, but I guess you can't really church up something like that. I hope those 7% can get back on their feet. |

Video game development companies do this kind of thing all the time. They complete a contract, got nothing in the pipes, no work for one of their units... see ya later.
Either that, or a potential contract didn't come through. You got guys sitting around, and it's not like they can clean windows or anything until more work comes in- so they get laid off.
Don't forget if Capcom gets another game underway, these guys could potentially get called back and offered more work, this also happens a lot.... (unless of course this 7% are doggers and don't deserve a job anyway.... and this is Capcom's way of getting rid of them- Hey, this is the reality of the workforce nowadays.)
