Capcom Rejects Auteur Model in Favor of Team Based Game Development

Capcom shifts from individual auteur theory to a collective team development model to ensure stable franchise growth and employee success

A common misconception among the playing public and in the press is that each video game relies on one individual creative genius to find its success. To combat this auteur theory on games, Capcom has modified its corporate philosophy. The business side chief executive of the publisher, Haruhiro Tsujimoto , has recently been quoted on the subject of this company wide overhaul by the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu. In the interview, he revealed that Capcom had decided to abandon reliance on star developers for the stability of the company.
