someone watched the livestream?
Also, now I can safely post it here:
As a sign of goodwill towards the former Capcom producer Keiji Inafune, Capcom has donated 10k to his Kickstarter wishing that they could have Inafune create such great concepts like the Mighty No. 9 for Capcom again.
Capcom CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto has kept a close eye on all of the birds that have left the Capcom nest and immediately brought the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter to everyone’s attention. He commented on the Kickstarter earlier today at a company-wide briefing.
“When I saw the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter, I was amazed,” an employee recalled Tsujimoto saying, “Inafune-san has done it again. If he had created the Mighty No. 9 here at Capcom, we would have supported it one hundred percent. It’s such a great concept that I can’t believe no one else has done it before. We would never forget something so great like the Mighty No. 9. Sometimes, I just really wonder why Inafune-san left Capcom.”
“I wish I could just reach out to him and say that we have complete faith in you and the Mighty No. 9,” continued Tsujimoto, “I just want him to come back home. I don’t know what I could offer him though. I could say that we would never cancel your project even if it takes a long time to really take off. We would never do something so horrible. And we would respect the creator’s vision. I would never let anything horrible happen to the future of the Mighty No. 9 on my watch.”
“You know what the Mighty No. 9 really reminds me of?” asked Tsujimoto, “The Power Stone franchise. It was so unique and interesting just like the Mighty No. 9. But we at Capcom never gave it the support it truly needed. We just let that franchise die. I can see why Inafune-san would be weary of us after how we handled Power Stone. Fortunately, we have never done anything like that to any of our other franchises.”
Tsujimoto also commented on another former Capcom employee Hideki Kamiya and his recent game, The Wonderful 101. He said that “Kamiya-san is welcome to return home as well. Nothing bad has happened to any of his franchises like Devil May Cry since he has left.”

They are mocking us and these guys right? This guy cant be serious about what he is saying.
