Capcom’s, Keiji Inafune is certainly not content with the gaming industry of late. By now we all heard of his dismay with the Japanese gaming industry as he publicly voiced his negative opinion on the current state of the Japanese industry.
Now it seems he would like an immediate exit all together. The talented producer admitted this during an interview with a Japanese site, saying that he’s unhappy and wants to “retire early.” Inafune said, “I hate it! I want to retire early and take it easy.”
He also pointed out that he could possibly work less at Capcom and get paid a huge amount of money for it, but that he would not go that route. He said, “There are loads of creators like that but I’m not like that. If things are difficult while they are doing it, they can become a leader and a creator.”
Inafune has long been vocal about his thought, saying a few months ago that he thought “Japanese gaming is dead.” But he also reassured us that he loves Japan and wanted to “save it” [industry]. He also said that he wanted to go to Tokyo Game Show to change his pessimistic outlook on Japan’s creations. So why the further dismay now?
Inafune is currently working on the much anticipated Mega-Man Legends 3.
Such a young and obvious talent, Inafune would surely be missed.
