Yes, he did say that. But I have a feeling this will be taken out of context by some people. My understanding was he was saying they should focus on Japanese tastes because even western gamers expect a Japanese game to feel like...well, a Japanese game. There was no jab at western games in there. Not even a jab at the vocal minority who are firmly against certain content. Just a statement on how gamers prefer variety. I'm only saying all this because I have a strong feeling certain people will try to make this political. Dude seems too chill for him to have meant it in that way.

How I wish they would. Unfortunately the western territories are a big piece of the pie for Japan, so they're probably always going to be bending down to their will.

They should be looking over at other eastern devs like China and Korea instead of appealing to western.
