Bad Qualities
They suffered a massive downfall in the 2010's, even though they're returning to their former glory. Click here to see their flaws. Even before and after their downfall, they made some mistakes.


 * 1) They made an unnecessary sequel to Mega Man X5, Mega Man X6, which was primarily made to milk the X spin-off series. This caused the series to go downhill and later made the downward spiral much steeper with Mega Man X7 but thankfully, Mega Man X8 saved the franchise.
 * 2) Their E3 2021 presentation was awful, as they didn't show anything what fans wanted and instead showcased a eSports announcement for Street Fighter, and also the fact that many of the other games they showcased weren't very impressive at all, which has lead to many fans becoming disappointed and starting to believe that the company hasn't learned from their mistakes and is still making questionable decisions to this day (which could result in another downfall for the company).
 * 3) They support NFTs, mainly the one that used Ethereum (which the latter, are very harmful towards the environment by the way, considering ironically that Mega Man's Mega Buster runs on solar power, which is environmentally friendly).
