Well...it's true.
I hate to repeat myself so often, but they never wanted to make the game.
If the fans wanted it they were going to, essentially, have to make it themselves via the devroom.

man capcom better watch their backs now about cancelling any future games.

Why, what are you going to do?
Make a poorly written e-mail?

You do know that they have to make, fund and publish the games they make, right?
Edit: Also as Zarcon pointed out and from an obvious point of view, devs don't like making games they don't want to make.

Of course they make their games, duh. That is not the point. We as consumers vote with our dollar which companies are deemed reliable. A company that is percieved as not doing what they said they were going to do, and does that repetitiously(not the case here just making a point) will not bode well with me and other reasonable consumers. Bottom line they should guard their image better, cancelling more games would make them look bad. Branding is everything.

edit: can we agree that on the surface the devroom was a cool exciting format to go with, but practically is a bad idea.

Lol Capcom wanted us to make the game through the dev room? Wow...

Activision gets away with selling the same game every year.

I remember when Activison with Neversoft used to release the bomb games like Tony Hawks Pro Skater...oh the good ol' days.

then sadly there are a lot of unreasonable people who buy the same game every year.

edit: I wonder if CAPCOM has the gall to "develop" another game that relies on user development.

LOL. It all comes down to the bottom line, MULA!!!!

edit: the PR guy from cappcom Europe came off as fucking arrogant, imo. Did he/they really expect the game to be made mostly by the devs? That just isn't realistic.

oh don't stop their CAPCOM, why don't you just hand over a dev building with dev tools so that we can make the game that much faster.

I guess that is why the Crash Bandicoot series died. Not enough revenue on the most recent games.

That ridiculous! Unbelievable!

They should get no money for it then, if the fans finish it themselves.

Wait where you found that tweet?

Should LulzSec attack Capcom?

 

[_Chaz_]

Wait... it's up to the fans to create the game for the developers?

Capcom stop killing off your fanbase, you're running out of them.

They tried to "reinvent" Crash, and they fell flat on their face.

I think we can "blame" the supremacy of FPS in the video game market. It's way more profitable to pump out an FPS than reboot an ip about a platforming bandicoot.

LOL Activision was the wrong company for Crash Bandicoot. The series deserves better.

gloweyjoey: You can stress certain words in any comment and make it sound like something it's not. As I said earlier, the intention was probably true.
They could have advertised the devroom and fan involvement more.
Tell more places to comment on it like Kotaku and such.
Let more fans know about the existence of the thing so they could join up.

These aren't words that if you ''stress'' them it sounds like something its not. The fact that the words were used at ALL forget about stressing certain words, those are the words they used to make the statement what it is. They even admitted to the comment being a flippant one(frivolously disrespectful, shallow, or lacking in seriousness), So yeah. You are right by all means, they never gave a shit and still don't, and it's very obvious with the continued facetiousness, although it seems that they're trying really hard to kiss butt on their twitter now.

From the Twitter
"@CapcomEuro Your statement conveys that the efforts made by the fans of the game were insufficient. Not that the product was lacking."
"@ZSBeardsley No it conveys that the dev room website and concept wasn't as good as we wanted it to be"

Another asinine comment. How does "It's a shame more fans didn't want to get more involved. If we saw there was more of an audience for MML3 poeple might change minds." have any indication that the dev room website and concept wasn't what they wanted it to be? It doesn't.

I found it in the comments of a Kotaku article about Inafude being sorry about the cancellation (this one).
