To be fair, they haven't managed to put out a whole hell of a lot that's actually compelling in the intervening years that weren't rereleases. "Hey guys, DAE remember Resident Evil 4? The good one? We just re-re-re-released it. And some old Megaman games you already have. Full price!"

That seems pretty reductive IMO. Like RE7 and RE8 are genuinely good returns to form for the series. The RE2 and RE4 releases are remakes which by most standards improve the original releases and bring them into the current generation.

Then throw in the Phoenix Wright games, Monster Hunter games, Dragon’s Dogma games, Street Fighter games, DMC…

I would argue Capcom has been on a tear of very good games, especially in the last 5 years.
