It doesn't look like Microsoft is buying Resident Evil maker, Capcom, any time soon

The president of Capcom, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, has stated he would "gracefully decline" any offer of acquisition from Microsoft, in an interview with Bloomberg.The reasoning behind this stance comes from the president's belief that it "would be better if we were equal partners". Capcom, as noted by Bloomberg in said interview, is doing especially well right now with its stocks hitting a peak following the successful launch of various AAA titles over the years including Street Fighter 6, Monster Hunter World, the Resident Evil 4 remake, and more.Tsujimoto also commented on the trend of aquisitions in general, and made it clear that despite Capcom's dominating position right now, they prefer to foster internal growth rather than buy up external companies.
