@TheAziHSega vs Capcom The Next Level has been shut down due to Capcom sending a Cease and Desist notice to the devs apparently. And no one is reporting on this prolific fangame shutting down?
@mrjinjin2612No fucking shot an official Sega Vs. Capcom is actually happening?
@eventhubs@TheAziH We reached out to the developer on Discord to see if they'd like to comment on it, but have received no response. Waiting to see if they'll at least officially announce the situation.
@kijulerCapcom never sends DMCAs to fangames unless the project is very similar to something they're working on
@4cydestudiosNOTICE: SVC is shut down because of using Capcom's characters and likeness, nothing else. With any fan game, that's the risk and we have no regrets making the game happen. Thanks to everyone involved in the project. Glad we reached a season 1 release. Overall, stay tuned!

@2Dee4ever@4cydestudios You really accomplished all of that on your own. One man army for real. Hopefully somebody sees the potential and scoops you up because you deserve all the good things coming your way. Good luck with whatever you decide to do next!
@ReploidREVOYou cannot hate Capcom enough. Their games are one thing, but them as a company? Trash. They starve you for content and then kill you when you make it yourself. When they start killing MegaMan fan games, it's officially over.
@GenghisConnThr3Capcom saw people actually having fun with a fighting game and they couldn't have that lmfao.
@landjnewspiritSega vs Capcom: The Next Level was shut down due to a C&D from Capcom. The news was devastating but yet, we got out there with the project. It was an honor to voice as my childhood hero: Ryu of Street Fighter. My voice over journey will continue and this is not over.
