Inafune - Japanese devs need to give the younger guys a chance
"They're thinking, 'It's just faster if I do it myself. If I do it myself, there's not the risk of it being a failure.' They just don't really have the bravery to give the younger generation a chance. If you look at the Japanese game industry in general, if you want to become a director, if you become a director by the time you're in your early 30s or mid-30s, that's pretty good in a major publisher or a major developer. But at Comcept, we actually have two directors that are in their late 20s. So ultimately, we're giving people their chances at an earlier time. They would never have gotten these chances if they were at Capcom or some other big publisher." - Keiji Inafune
