Squid of Man

EDIT: "Anonymous sources" have told Game|Life that the cause of the split is due to the Clover team wanting to piss off from Capcom and form an independant studio. That's a story that makes a lot of sense.

Oh, Capcom, why? Why do you always have to go and fuck perfectly good things up all the time?

Word (very Japanese word, too, I might add) has spilled today that Capcom are disbanding Clover Studio ala Sega in the "bad old days".

There might be more news contained in the "official" announcement, but to be honest Japanese isn't my forte, and the Babelfish translation, while funny, also makes zero fucking sense. Well, outside the obviously literal "because this corporation resolved the dispersion of the clover studio corporation which is the subsidiary company of this corporation". Corporation corporation corporation.

Let's all hold hands and pray that this is just some Japanese hoax, because I cannot see a single good thing coming from breaking up the #1 Japanese developer into small pieces.
