Russ "Darth" Sabin Inducted into Rotation of Fame
The man also known for his voice acting in Twisted Metal 4 is now
part of the much over-glorified rotating banner of fame. Russ hails
from sunny San Diego, CA where he spent time at 989 Studios San
Diego and now resides at Verant, makers of the EQ and in the future,
Star Wars Persistant World. Russ was originally a member of the
Rotation of Fame but due to the movement of this webpage, had to
be re-inducted.

Capcom Quits Arcade
Capcom will withdraw from the diminishing arcade market within the
fiscal year. From prospects that the arcade industry will not recover
from its current downfall, Capcom will retreat from the arcade industry
and focus their development on games for home consoles. While development
on currently made arcade games will still continue, no new games
will be developed. Capcom will be the first major company in the
arcade industry to withdraw from the market.
Capcom's arcade
games sales have decreased to 5,000 units per title, a major drop
from the 80,000 units per title at the peek of the arcade industry.
For the fiscal of March 2001, Capcom's sales from the arcade dropped
to 3.9 Billion Yen, only 1/5 of the income compared to 1994. Capcom
held 30% of total sales in the arcade industry at its peek as well;
estimates for this fiscal year have dropped to under 10%.
Another aspect
to Capcom's decision comes after Sega's discontinuation of the DreamCast
console, a machine compatible to the arcade board "Naomi"
used by Capcom for arcade game development.

The Rumor
Mill by unknown comic
3DO is going out of business shortly. They are doing a false "re-org"
to try to stall the inevitable and make sure that the employees
don't jump ship as of yet. Infogrames is not going to publish games
anymore, they are going back to being a developer only. Infogrames
just laid off about 50% of their Marketing staff. Eidos San Francisco
is going to close down by the end of the year.
