Capcom. DMC used to be THE action franchise. They almost ruined everything with DMC2, managed to salvage it with DMC3, fucked up again by releasing DMC4 half-finished, and then ruined the series with DmC. Now that DMC is basically irrelevant, it's no longer setting industry trends. Simpler, more casual-friendly games like Bamham andDark Soulsare now king, and inspiring countless copycats. Platinum is going relatively strong but they aren't really trend-setters, they mostly cater to a niche audience, with some exceptions (MGR, Automata).
