ESG isn't anything new to companies like CapCom. It was originally a gambling front, and has been working in those fields for a long time. Very few companies got out, and none fully left. It's hard to do when the entire Japanese videogame field was fronts and sponsored by Yakuza.
All that said, Capcom just had their best year ever.
American side isn't much better. There was a Congressional hearing in 1997 about violence in videogames. Behind closed doors it was about fake sales numbers and money laundering.

The crazy thing is Yakuza families have office buildings with their name on the front.
They even have their own credit card designs.
