They don't mean resources as in money, they mean personell. The tweeter in question (whoever he is, a designer or project leader I presume?) meant that he doesnt have a free team ready to jump on to a fighter game project right now.

lol @ people thinking he meant that Capcom is out of money.

every developer recruits when they make a new game, or outsource some work. The only reason they wouldnt is if they dont have the money.

And why would a company that isnt 'out of money' decide to cut half its european work force and sacrifice next gen development?

I really hope they go bankrupt and a company who can manage and run capcom better takes over.

But that tweet wasn't about Capcom's financial troubles. The tweet was only about potential dev teams he has in sight for a fighting game and had absolutely nothin to do with money. It's that he doesn't have a team ("resources") available to him at the moment who in his opinion would suit such a project right now (can somebody confirm that this guy is a designer or director of some sort?).

Even if Capcom's finances are strained (they are to some extent ...but who's isn't?) a spokesperson for Capcom would never admit that or refer to that in a tweet. It's as simple as that.
