Can I just say how amazing is it that IMVR on Quest 2 is the 3rd highest Metascored Marvel game after OG Spider-Man and some pinball game?! (…..And some game by a Japanese game company.)

元のがひと昔の話ではありますという前提ですが、 実際、海外現地のスタッフがこちらではこういうのが良いんだ。日本の感覚とは違うんだよ。なのでこうやらせて欲しい。 という風習はありました。 日本サイドも意見やアイディア出した上で餅は餅屋的に現地の声を尊重しましょうというものであり日本が海外に興味ない的なのは無い。 むしろなんとかして海外でも売れないかみんな頑張ってました。

Went to see the new Street Fighter movie with some of my old Capcom Japan crew. We thoroughly enjoyed it. @StreetFighter

Fwiw I can at least say at Capcom since I left (2021) a lot of these hardships have been dialed back a lot. Of course salary is still low compared to the US, but cost of living is lower too.
This post is why I won't work for a Japanese company ever again. All of it is true. So before you praise Capcom or Nintendo, realize that what you trade for stability in a Japanese company is IMO far more expensive than the risk of being laid off in the US.

These days the younger people go home at reasonable times. You’re encouraged not to pressure people into going out cause it can lead to undue pressure.

Of course you figure this is anywhere from 5 to 15 years after JP left, which I believe was somewhere around the formation of Clover Studio?

I finally bothered to water reading that Brutus SMB 40th special and there’s stuff in there I wasn’t aware of: - B-dashing over 1-tile pits was a bug they thought was fun and kept in.

- Similarly there was an invisible coin bug and that’s why they made the hidden blocks.

- Tezuka-san suggested doing the flying Cheep Cheeps, but Miyamoto felt it would feel unfair to the players cause they’d come out of nowhere, so they raised the bridge so players would have time to react.

During DMC5 Suzi reached out, said she loved the game and asked for an interview. I reached out to CUSA to see if they’d set one up. We did a live stream and I’ve enjoyed seeing them collaborate since. I love when we can raise people up instead of judging them, putting them down.
Capcom needs to do more research before partnering with content creators, if they want to avoid backlash. I really don't think that a transgender woman with a history of adult video creation should be featured for playing a wholesome game with a child character. Now, personally, I don't think there is generally anything wrong with adult content as long as it's legal, sane, and consensual... but there are certain "spaces" where these kinds of people should stay out of. For example, people like Suzi should never be allowed to be an elementary school teacher or in other professions where the "intersection" of degenerate sexual content can be problematic. In this case, it's not direct contact with real children, but it's still public promotion of child-adjacent content by someone whose past work is overtly sexual for what Capcom is marketing as family-friendly adjacent sci fi adventure game... In addition to the content listed below with redacted titles, Suzi has produced over 7 more videos, for which the person is regretful of producing. There is already enough drama these days in the "trans" space with "trans kids" and various other content in that sphere that is highly problematic whenever children are involved. Now, I get that Suzi has rebranded themselves as the "wholesome" streamer and content creator, but AV content production isn't something you get to wipe away.
