But their actions regarding other games does show their philosophy. They completely got around using friend codes with Monster Hunter, but they made a point to get around their use in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: you see randoms' names and you can add them as rivals (basically the same as friends) without knowing their code.

Oh, and they just unveiled online and local multiplayer in Resident Evil Revelations after all this time. So Capcom doesn't always announce right away when they they have online, even for their popular games.
