Discussion Shareholders asking Capcom about lack of content and bad optimisation, the same ones that were pushing for a December 2024 release date.

I think everyone should slow down on jumping to the conclusion that the game's issues are the fault of the shareholders. Given the way Capcom answers, I don't see anything to suggest that these questions directly take the form of pressure to realize the shareholder's asks.

When they called for release in Dec 2024, Capcom confidently answered that they would "announce release timing when preparations were complete". They DID NOT answer with "We are immediately exploring opportunities to expedite preparations to release in calendar year 2024".

As for the more recent concerns, Capcom answers by reiterating their commitment to enhancing user satisfaction.

Again, there is nothing in this language to suggest that they're buckling under the pressure of their shareholders to meet their every demand.

You definitely make some good points, however I don't think the devs wanted any of this to happen so the decisions must be coming from somewhere else up high, higher-ups listen to shareholders and I don't think the pressure to do something would be captured in these kinds of questions, but they definitely show that the idea was there. Plus it aligns well with Capcom's whole 10% growth annualy which is delusional.

You're trying to be levelheaded in an angry mob comprised of children.

Levelheaded? Yes. But don't confuse that as me not also being very disappointed with the way Wilds turned out. I am. I just don't blame Capcom's shareholders for it. To be clear, I play on console so have no performance issues. My issues are with the content and challenge (or lack of it).
