The way he's fudning this is a reaction to the way the previous two Mega Man titles were cancelled. Publishers (namely Capcom) thought Mega Man wasn't a viable franchise, and by working with fans direcly through kickstarter, there is no worry about titles being cancelled or anything.
Furthermore, I'd imagine publishers might be reluctant to fund this. The game is an obvious take on Mega Man, and Capcom really should protect their IP by filing a lawsuit. Of course, because it's a crowd funded game that is getting very popular very fast, that puts Capcom at an awkward position in terms of trying to sue. I kind of feel like Inafune is just daring Capcom to file a lawsuit.
