>Hideki Kamiya saying, "[Inafune] is a businessman. Not a creator." Given Kamiya’s phrasing, some saw the tweet as an insult, an implication that Inafune focuses on the wrong parts of his job.

>"I didn’t pay too much attention to [Kamiya’s] comment, because as a game creator you have to think about both the creative and the business sides," says Inafune. "Neither of those can survive without the other. I’m the kind of person who thinks about both sides. And if he thinks that I’m more of a businessman, that’s fine."

>In 2015, three years after his quote about Inafune being a "businessman," Hideki Kamiya (above) again took to Twitter to talk about Comcept. This time, his target was Mighty No. 9, which he called "a copy" of Mega Man and "an insult to their old home," referring to Inafune and others at Comcept formerly working at Capcom.

>"You know, that’s his opinion, and he’s free to say what he wants," says Inafune. "However, I’m not sure if making negative comments towards another game creator is necessarily a good thing, because we’re all in the same boat. We’re all in the same industry, working together. ...

>"Also, I’m not sure if he had played the game when he wrote those tweets. Because if he’d actually played the game after it came out, and then said something like that, then I’d say, ‘Yeah, sure. That’s what you think.’ But at this point, I don’t think he’s played it yet. And maybe that’s why he said it’s a copy of my old game. But hopefully when the game comes out, he’ll play it and have a different opinion."
