TOKYO, Japan. July 11 - Capcom's staff got hit by some lay-offs today, one departure comes from senior VP Christian Svensson who posted the unfortunate news on Facebook today. According to Svensson, his leave came voluntarily. "Sadly, I'm not the only one affected by the reorganization today," he wrote. "Over the next few days, I'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's a 'love connection' to be made."
Svensson has been part of the Capcom family for eight years. "I've had the opportunity to interface with the best fans any company could ever hope to have," he wrote. "I know that I wasn't always able to deliver what they wanted, but I promise that I did my best to champion their needs and wants. So thank you to the fans who made my job rewarding, challenging, and, if nothing else, interesting."
"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," he added. "Those who know me well, know that I've been ready to go for quite some time. We tried some things that worked. We tried others that didn't. We fought fights that were worth fighting and even won a few. I'm proud of what we accomplished."
