>>91243946Absolutely destroyed his reputation, given that much of internal mismanagement (funds and staff were constantly being allocated to other projects) was apparently largely his fault. Moreover, he had burned quite a few industry bridges during the project's campaign.
But the fault does also lie with the backers. We got swept up in the hype and the "NO, FUCK YOUUUUU CAPCOM" attitude that followed their rather spiteful cancellation of Legends 3, a project that was in full production with heavy fan support, a functional engine, and reportedly enough finished game to release a standalone demo should they have chosen to. But no, Capcom pissed on its fans by axing the game with no good reason (and a company PR suit from Capcom UK made the very unwise choice of blaming lack of fan support). As a result, people flocked to the then-new crowdfunding platform as a sort of revenge and the dev team set up an overly ambitious, vague project they'd never be able to deliver (10 simultaneous launch platforms! you can't fucking do that!).
So yes. We all fucked up.
