Hello! There should be no debate about whether he said it or if it's his translator. I translated the stream and I can confirm that Inafune did not say anything close to the damaging comment in japanese.
Off-camera Guy (en) : expansions? Red guy (jp) : do you plan on expansion content? Inafune (jp) : There is Ray DLC, except that? Red guy (jp) : Except Ray. Inafune (jp) : Except Ray, we have no current project on making DLC. Inafune (jp) : If there is an occasion for us to make DLC, we would like to! Red Guy (en) : There is no any additional DLC beyond the Ray DLC. Red Guy adds (en) : The reality is they put everything into making this game. They didn't try to microtransations it out, they didn't try to DLC it out for extra money, they put it all in. So for now, this is what you see and what you get for the mighty number 9 world but again, we can hope that if things go well, there will be sequels. Because I'll tell you what, I'm not getting my 2D sidescrolling fill. And, at the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing. At least it's my opinion.
