It's only been a few days since Capcom officially canceled the fan-driven project Mega Man Legends 3, and already the backlash has begun, and it's only getting worse. At first, it was just hundreds of bitter comments by fans on the cancelation notice at Capcom's official blog, but then the punches started to swing.

One of the highlights of FanimeCon 2025 was the Capcom cosplay gathering.
Capcom has removed GFWL from PC versions of Lost Planet 1 and 2 as well as other titles on Steam alongside support for online features.
The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.
What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.
So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.
Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in
And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards
As a gamer who also loves replaying his old favorite titles, possibly with a few mods as well, I can’t imagine ever getting another console.
They spoke about resident evil and monster hunter I would actually find the monster hunter breakdown more interesting tbh as I've always felt like this game would be at home on PC
but for resident evil it's always felt like a PlayStation mainstay despite having exclusivity elsewhere likely because it was where I first played it. The game feels like it's begging to be played lights off in the loungeroom late at night or also in VR I've never been as scared as I was playing re7 in VR
Is this really suprising? Looking at the evolution of the Switch, X|S and Playstation 5?
The biggest cause is probably the lack of game purchases on the Xbox platform. Also keep in mind this is only digital sales so there is a chunk of sales not being shown here.
Great article. I am a Megaman fan myself, but i have to say it is sad seeing Capcom cancel Megaman Legends 3. What makes it worse is instead of gamers showing how much a fanbase there was for the game, they resorted to violence.
This is a sad situation.
Just because Inafune is gone Capcom is going to destroy one of their strongest franchises.
Just because one stupid POS fan got violent does not mean sh*t.
A lot of us are pissed and would never think about attacking a capcom person.
I would rather have a Mega Man or X title rather than legends.
How about a downloadable 2D style a la Shadow Complex type of mega man game.
It's always sad to see games get cancelled, especially when in some cases a game being cancelled for a small studio means that studio is going out of business, people losing their jobs, etc.
I hate the nerd rage associated with gamers and the Internet. If your grocery store stops selling your favorite brand of snack, are you going to throw a hissy fit, punch out the manager and piss on him? Or are you going to just start shopping at a new store?
I think the Internet needs a mechanism for beating the shit out of people who act like assholes online.
