Capcom COO would "gracefully decline" acquisition offer from MS; believes in organic growth for Capcom and no intention of acquiring companies

[winb83]

We saw Microsoft acquiring Activision. There's been some whispers in the industry about some more deals. What is Capcom's thinking when it comes to M&A? Is there anything in the works?


What if Microsoft comes to you and says, "We're interested in buying you out". Would you entertain that?

I don’t think theres any notable Japanese publisher trying to commit that seppuku selling themselves to Microsoft. Good to know the actual quality gaming companies are safe from them

Capcom is a public owned company. For the right offer the shareholders would demand the company sell.

The Tsujimoto family holds the majority of stake, if they ain’t selling it ain’t selling

Imagine trying to get a SSS combo in Devil May Cry on that clunky ass brick with buttons

Capcom has hit their stride, before the RE engine and success of MHW and RE7 the answer might be different.

They are in position now to grow into a bigger player than they were in the 90s financially speaking

DMCV as well but yea monster hunter did kick it off...

I would gracefully decline the offer because I believe it would be better if we were equal partners.

LOL. That's easy to say, until they sit a 40/50 billion dollar check in front of you.
