Inafune's interview somewhat made sense. Fan demand for games have been reaching ridiculous standards for what a "good game" is, however what I find odd is his complaint of how working in Japan is in comparison to working in the US. His viewpoint of US working of slavery is on and off. We DO work needlessly hard to reach a promotion, however if it were slavery... the promotions would range from "Entry whipped position" to "Whipped crew leader." From ten lashes to five a day. From one slice of bread to three! He wouldn't be happy working in Japan because he would earn a paycheck for nearly doing nothing as he explained, however if he worked in the US...he'd be a slave. So the only way for it to work for him is if he moves to....hell. Sri Lanka, becomes the single japanese majority in that land, starts his own company and forms things as he wishes.
Half of the interview makes sense, namely with fanbase demands and hype, insane numbers hired for a project, and chairmen of boards not knowing a damn thing about video games. However, when he gets personal about it is where he fails, because he's leaving a system that exists no matter where he goes. So unless he can start a company and become absolute president of the united Inafune.co, it won't work out for him well. Namely if others who would hire him get a look at the interview. He was dumb enough to -state- the flaws in his bosses publicly. If that isn't reference suicide, I don't know what is.
