Sure charge more for games

And raise everyone’s wages so we can afford them

According to this site their CEO made 212 million yen, or about 1.4 million USD, last year, 64% of which were the actual salary. So around 900k USD.
According to PayScale Capcom pays over 80k CAD, or about 60k USD, on average over all professions in Canada, giving a factor of 11 and change for the CEO-to-worker salary ratio.

So while their CEO certainly has money to spare, it's far from the ridiculous ratios we see in some companies. Apparently they also handed out 30% average raises for employees last year.
So definitely not the worst example of a company.
