I honestly think that Inafune needed Capcom as much or more than they needed him at this point. And the same thing with a lot of other big-name game designers who've struck out on their own only to flail about as indies. These designers seem to need the restraining hand of an executive producer to keep them on the rails and QA the final product, and whatever Capcom's faults, they know Inafune's strengths and weaknesses far better than Microsoft or Kickstarter backers did.
