Gee, who would have guessed?

Considering how crappy Final Fight: Streetwise was and how unremarkable Maximo was, it's no surprise that Capcom would bring the axe down.  Yes, it's bad to see people getting laid off.  However, people cannot expect to continue recieving a check when yours are among the worst games in the company's portfolio.

After all, why would Capcom want to continue supporting such a mundane studio.  This is the same company that produces some of the best games ever: Devil May Cry, Megaman, Onimusha, Breath of Fire, Street Fighter, Resident Evil... Capcom consistently puts out some amazing titles.  Why should they continue to sully their portfolio with garbage like Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance and Final Fight: Streetwise?

With Capcom desperately trying to avoid going into the red this coming generation, this move can only help them, and their fans in turn.  Three cheers for smart business.
