A former Capcom veteran who worked on classic games in the Street Fighter, Mega Man, The Legend of Zelda, and Resident Evil series, Yoshiki Okamoto, admits to spending "¥80 million" or approximately $500,000 "per account" on his own game, in order to get a better understanding of its "biggest spenders."
In an interview that was originally aired on Fuji TV, before being reported on by Sponichi Annex (thanks, Automation), Okamoto justifies his outrageous spending habit on his own game, particularly given that he could just add in-game currency to his accounts via administrator privileges.
