Capcom Senior VP Christian Svensson Steps Down

Video game news website Polygon reported on Thursday that CAPCOM senior vice president Christian Svensson has stepped down voluntarily from the company. According to Polygon, Svensson posted the news on his Facebook page. Svensson's post noted that CAPCOM is going through a planned reorganization, and noted that "sadly, I'm not the only one affected."

I know that I wasn't always able to deliver what they wanted, but I promise that I did my best to champion their needs and wants. So thank you to the fans who made my job rewarding, challenging, and, if nothing else, interesting."
