The thing is, that's all investors. They see "Oh, since we've got this new project that we'll drag out to make billions, lets take some of the spare millions of Tabata, Nomura, and Yoshida's budgets so we can fund this stupidly over priced idea that's probably going to be poorly received anyway." And all the dev teams can do is silently weep as their budgets are drained with out any say in the matter.

The Devs are as much slaves to the corporate big wigs as we are. At least Yoshida's team seems to view us as more than just bank accounts and credit card numbers.
