Cautious optimism given that the PC gaming market is western and not really existent in Japan. I don't mind Switch ports though.

What does that even matter? Majority of Capcom's sales comes outside of Japan.

A greater reliance on the western market could make greater westernization of their games and I don't want that (e.g. already tried, failed, and backpedaled on with DmC).

You have to rely on a global market, Japanese market is dead. And Capcom has done so even in recent years, so I don't know why you think it will lead to greater westernization (given that they already changed that after PS3 gen while Japanese sales have become even more irrelevant).

The JRPG subgenre, properly speaking, refers to games that suck.

Indeed.

Yes, because it's mainly Nintendo titles and the console itself is semi-mobile. Yes, I worded it poorly in that Japanese market isn't entirely dead, but it has gravitated massively towards mobile games ie casual shit you can tinker around while commuting. Capcom is mainly in the console/PC business and unless you think mobile gaming is incline, then that's why Capcom has to look to West, just like any other Japanese company sans Nintendo or those who are fine with making anime tiddy games for 100k sales. True, there are hits like Monster Hunter, but even there West has picked up massively as a market.

"Capcom wants to set PC as main outlet for its game software"

>didn't bother to bring DMC5 Special Edition to PC
>Monster Hunter Rise has a 6mo exclusivity period on Switch
>dubious DRM check in RE Village that caused performance issue, no FOV slider
>put in-game ad and rootkit into SF5

Yeah no I trust SEGA more. Capcom's PC ports are good but their treatment of DMC5 SE soured my opinion on them heavily. Speak less, act more.
