The president of Capcom can lick the wrinkles out of my sweat steamed scrotum if he thinks I'm buying another Capcom game after this.

Yeah, games cost more to make than they did on the SNES.

But theres also an absolutely massively bigger customer base buying more games than ever before. So if your big name games are failing to bring in big numbers, that sounds like you and your fellow executives need to step down and let someone who knows what customers actually want run the company. But I bet that thought never crossed his fuckin mind.
