Clover Studio
Clover Studio was an independent Japanese video game development studio funded by Capcom. It consisted largely of existing Capcom R&D talent, who had formed the company to give themselves greater executive control (and thus creative freedom), like Sega's semi-autonomous studios in the early 2000s. The studio focused largely on creating new intellectual property rather than sequels. When these failed to perform on par with Capcom's more popular series, Capcom attempted to merge the studio back into their internal R&D. Those at the studio chose instead to leave the company, and Clover was dissolved....
