Svensson routinely posted on the official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.capcom-unity.com\/sven\/blog\">Capcom blog<\/a> to reach out to fans for suggestions and to discuss company news items. He posted on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/csvensson2?hc_location=stream\">Facebook<\/a> page that his decision to leave was an idea that he&#8217;d considered for a long time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This departure is not a bad thing for me and it&#8217;s happening mostly because I&#8217;d suggested it during the early planning for today&#8217;s reorg. While I wish the company the best of luck, Capcom is going in a different direction and the need for people at my level, relative to other areas, is lacking. Those who know me well, know that I&#8217;ve been ready to go for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I&#8217;m grateful for the opportunities Capcom has afforded me. I stayed as long as I did in large part for the potential I felt the company had (and still may have). But I also stayed for the people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Svensson said he has a few possible opportunities lined up in the industry, but he was concerned about others that had been let go during the reorganization.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the near term, here&#8217;s where I need your help. Sadly, I&#8217;m not the only one affected by the reorganization today. Over the next few days, I&#8217;ll be gathering resumes from as many as I can and will be sending them out to my contacts around the industry to see if there&#8217;s a &#8220;love connection&#8221; to be made.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The total number of layoffs at Capcom has yet to be confirmed. Capcom employs less than 150 people in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
