Capcom has been in the gaming business my entire life – and I’ve been playing their games my entire life. A good majority of our readers have probably played a Capcom game, and if not, they’ve probably heard of one.

The company’s legacy spans multiple decades, and this entire time they’ve always remained a third party. That is, until now – after a recent vote from the Capcom shareholders, the measure has passed in which the takeover defense set up in 2008 has been stricken down.

This measure was set in place to prevent an external company from buying out a majority stake in the company, thus gaining control of their various franchises and intellectual properties. Now that the defense has been forgone, we very well might see a big corporation step in and etch in their claim over the massive library of titles, both current and old.

While Capcom isn’t making as much dough as they used to, they are still producing and seeing profit. However, an external party would have to pay a gigantic amount of money to acquire over 50% percent of the company’s stock. Still, this is a possibility, and if it were to pass – what company would you prefer seeing Capcom being under?
