May as well go back to DmC if they're going to pull this shit, because DMC6 may as well not be happening after this move. Regardless of the option, they can get fucked.
Capcom has always been a giant faggot. They just managed to make occasional good games in spite of their own efforts to sabotage, and then over time people forgot the awful ones.
I've seen no proof whatsoever for this story. none. not even evidence that he's been fired. Langdon has been outspoken for a long time yet kept his job.
this is outragebait muckracking. convince me otherwise.
prediction: this will get nothing more than silent downvotes and a few aggressive replies with circumstantial evidence.
His own twitter makes it clear he is gone at least, and the wording he used isn't completely neutral:
There are many lessons here in this situation. I tried my best to be epithetic to people on all sides but I must be myself no matter what and continue on my own journey.
Like, normally I'm all against outrage bait grifting. But he fully admitted to being removed as the VA of Ken on his own Twitter, and then threw in an entire paragraph about not letting himself be censored. Which could be any opinion, but its a fair assumption.
If he's been fired for not sucking the girldick and all he can say is "hmmm yes many lessons", then it means he signed an NDA that persists beyond his contract and only has himself to blame. I think it's more likely that there were sweeping recasts (because Capcom has no money left to pay legitimate VAs) and he's just doing what Twitter people do and inserting their pet causes where they don't belong.
He also has "Unity in Diversity!" in his Twitter bio, so I don't think this guy is as basado as everyone thinks.
I'm not saying he is some super based martyr. Only that there is significant enough proof to believe he was fired based on his own words. If it was a peaceful parting, it wouldn't be a strong career move to imply things like that about them on the way out in that manner.
So its not an article based on complete nothing without any proof whatsoever. An event did take place, and left enough evidence to make assumptions from it, which was my disagreement with the guy I replied to.
This reminds me of the whole pistol brace amnesty thing. It's a filing for a budget request not an actual thing yet the firearms community just keeps losing their damn minds
Remember how capcom removed the the hong kong flag and also removed the rising sun background of the remakes of their street fighter game? Yeah they are pozzed
Capcom can go to hell.
You replace Reuben Langdon over these tweets?
I won't be buying another Capcom game!
This. There are reasons for character voices to change. SUPPORTING A LEGIT POLITICAL SIDE is not one of them.
Dang I was hyped for this game too. Instant boycott.
Also Reuben is pretty beloved amongst fans. I can't imagine this going over well
Well then they better be glad they left Devil may cry 5 on such a good point as they can't make another successful one after this
May as well go back to DmC if they're going to pull this shit, because DMC6 may as well not be happening after this move. Regardless of the option, they can get fucked.
Capcom had turned into a giant faggot

Even Funimation kept Chuck Huber around as Android 17, even after he testified in Vic Mignogna's defense.
Huber is about as conservative as Vic is.
That might literally be a crime - firing Huber for not committing perjury is not the kind of thing a judge is likely to take lying down.
The article linked seems to be based on speculation. A tweet reply mentions that several other characters were being recast as well.
Good catch. I’m going to file this one under “rumor” until i see more info.

The irony of someone calling themselves 'conservative', but being an employee.
This guy doesn't support CURRENT THING!
right when i decided to take street fighter seriously after all these years.
gonna be a Ken main now
