There is a reason it's called a JOB.

I doubt that's sincere, if that's what he actually said.

Holding judgement until I have read the interview. Plus Inafune is always saying all kinds of crazy things, I think he will be around for a while yet.

From the moment people step into the industry they have to work their assess off to produce anything even adequate. Assuming this isn't a mistranslation or taken out of context then it's not surprising Inafune is tired of the industry after all the time he's been working.

As far as I'm concerned, this is great news.

Kotaku, huh? The odds of a mistranslation or a purposefully misleading headline to drive up page views just increased 1000%. 
 
So yeah, probably Kotaku again taking shit out of context. If it's Bashcraft, then the stupid Gaijin just made a silly translation error.

Seems like it would be a pretty tiresome industry to work in these days.
 
These guys pour their heart and soul into a project for years just to have a bunch of jaded, smarmy "game journalists" spend an afternoon with it and tear it to ribbons for the tiniest of details. Then watch as legions of forum trolls and blog readers assume single file behind their leader of choice to bring down this evil that has been unleashed on the world - I think I'd want to retire too.

It's probably hell of a lot of more work than most people imagine. And going through let-downs and poor sales etc, can't be easy!

"I hate it! I want to retire early and take it easy."
