One of the biggest trends in gaming recently has been a culture of acquisitions. Over the last few years, Sony has acquired the likes of Bungie, Bluepoint Games, and Housemarque; Embracer has been steadily acquiring studios like Volition, and Crystal Dynamics (only to either shut them down or lay off staff); and biggest of all, Microsoft bought Bethesda and a number of smaller studios like Ninja Theory and Double Fine, and can add Activision Blizzard to the list if the Microsoft Activision deal goes through. One company that constantly comes up in acquisition rumours is Capcom. Despite the company being on an incredible run since Resident Evil 7 released – with its major IPs like Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Devil May Cry's latest entries being considered among the best games the company has ever produced – rumours of a buyout persist. So when Bloomberg spoke with Capcom COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto, the outlet of course asked if he would entertain a buyout offer from Microsoft; and Tsujimoto stated that he would "gracefully decline" feeling it would be better if the two companies were equal partners. Bloomberg also inquired about his thoughts on mergers and acquisitions, and if there were any plans of this nature on the horizon for Capcom. Tsujimoto responded saying that rather than acquiring an outside company, Capcom prefers organic growth, saying that it's "important to train and develop human resources in-house in order to carry out growth strategies". While he notes that he isn't against working with external companies, Capcom has no plans to start buying them up. Which is the polar opposite of Microsoft's strategy over the last few years.
