Probably just part of some ETF

Cool. Looking forward to Mecca Man.

They already have 33.3% share in SNK, and now they have a stake in Capcom, so nothing's stopping them from buying further into those companies and using the profits to

Yeah, we'll talk about that once we get there. Until we do, there probably isn't much we can do about it besides getting upset, which isn't really doing anything.

I can't believe I have to say this again

Well you don't, because I already heard you in what feels like dozens of your posts. Calm down, I doubt you're helping your cause.

Yes, FOR MORE WAR CRIMES AND TERRORISM. Why do people keep saying I'm crazy when I'm right about Saudi Arabia being a fucking terror state who's out to get us?

Look up the dancing Israelis on 9/11



So is going back to be called Crapcom again?

I never heard that name after March 2021.

Also, was all this fuzz made when they got some stock from Activision/Blizzard too??

I need to tripple dip on all my Capcom games now.

Equates to around 5% in each.

Lol, this reminds me of some dude telling me on Twitter just a few days ago that foreign companies can't invest more than 1% into Japanese companies. Then this happens. People are idiots man, I swear.

People always misunderstand everything and think it's all very simple. Foreign companies can buy Japanese companies completely. The thing is that the bigger the company is the more tightly every foreign investment is regulated. For example getting 5% from Nintendo or Sony would be way harder and buying any of them out completely would be close to impossible. On the other hand investment in companies like Marvelous is less tightly regulated and it wasn't so hard for Tencent to aquire a 20% share.

Outright buying Capcom would be very hard or close to impossible for the Saudis because the Japanese government tries to keep most of the revenue flow of their big companies within the country.

Yep, the funny part is the article he linked to show "proof" of his 1% claim clearly showed that foreign companies can invest more than 1%. But I guess reading comphrension is hard for many people. 



So now the woman in their games will need to use less conspicuous clothing? Feminist movements will be pleased. /joking
