Nomura: Kids these days love these MMO games. Putting on fancy costumes, meeting other players around the world, fighting alongside their friends...
Executives: And...inevitably dying and watching their world crumble around them?
Nomura: Right.
Executives: How do we...how do you expect us to market this?
Nomura: Oh, no problem. I've designed this cute mascot character, see? Take a look at the concept art I've drawn up for it.
Executives: Why does it look like a demon in this picture?
Nomura: Because it is. Anyway, you don't have to worry about making money off this game, I've got a surefire plan. See, we can sell in-game currency to players who want to get stronger, faster. Gotta make it to the top of those leaderboards, you know.
Executives: And you say that earning points for the leaderboards...is contributing to the downfall of the universe?
Nomura: Right. So, what do you say?
Executives: ...
Nomura: Oh, and we gotta port it to smartphones, too. It's the gaming platform of the future, you know?
Executives: ...Are you really sure about this?
