markb A sad day for the video game industry today as Mark Beaumont, Capcom’s Chief Operating Officer for North America and Europe, has tragically passed away due to heart attack.

A veteran in the games industry, Beaumont began his career at Atari in 1982 before serving other major publishing companies like Activision and Time Warner Interactive. Eventually, he landed a role at Midway in 1999 before moving to Capcom in 2005, heading up the company's publishing across North America, South America, and Europe before being promoted to the role of COO in April 2008 up to present.

april 08 to present... the only worth while game from capcom since april 08 is tasunoku vs capcom, and only for wii... Thank you SO much for that gem... now if your successor is half the man you were we should be seeing 1000 better titles in the near future. none the less R.I.P. its always sad to see someone else take a job I'd love to have. I hope the next few years from capcom will be a testament to their dedication to the fans of the many loved games they've produced...

games take months to years to complete, he's had 2 of them, so what happens next month when VERY big games come out? Remember who saw them through,

Rest in peace, Mark. I'll play Megaman games in your honor now

# Rest In Peace Mark — muffinhead 2010-02-24 21:04

Add my vote to Capcom making a special Monster Hunter quest in Mark's honor.
His contributions will never be forgotten

You Guys just dont get it,

Does it matter if the person wasnt so great, but to say cruel things like: Dead is Dead, or who gives a shit people die everyday so fuck him

Its Bad, you should respect the Death of Another, even if you dont know that person

People like you should die, and then others say that to you, how would you feel if your closest friend said: oh wel dead is dead

On Topic

Rip Old Man, May your Familiy find peace with your loss and fly through heaven like a mad Gamer

I am sorry to hear that but why are they telling us ? If one of us is dead and we are not going to tell them and hope they would honor one of us dead ? They are important and we are not ? We should mourn anybody.. Not to the most important people like celebrities, no.

"73.8% of voters think this story ROCKS!"

Well... That seems fitting.

# well — Guest 2010-02-27 22:40

he would have lived an extra 20 years if he wasn't a lazy video game nerd

# RE: Capcom's COO Mark Beaumont passes away — Guest 2010-02-28 23:20

fuck him maybe capcom will be able to pay devs more to make some better games instead of this guy getting the money

# It shouldn't say this... — Guest 2010-03-02 22:30

75% of voters think this story ROCKS!

Thats just a little odd.

# ITS A SIGN!!! 0.0 — metaangel 2010-03-03 03:58

Capcom had a really good idea causing him to go into a a heart attack. maybe they're planing to take over the world...
