The series includes a setting called Netfrica where, per the Mega Man wiki, 'people live in huts made from straw and mud.'
:"People live in huts made from straw and mud. One of their customs is a search for a water god statue on the internet. Whoever discovers it would be a champion. Due to the hot climate and water shortage, natives also worship a 'water god' which is actually a water purifying system."
Opinion is split on whether adding a disclaimer goes far enough, or whether Capcom should have undertaken a more hands-on approach and changed or removed problematic elements of the games. Some feel the disclaimer is the only way to handle such issues, as it acknowledges the problems but leaves the game's content as-is for players to make their own judgements.
"Clearly from reading these replies there really isn't a right answer," notes Resetera user Livewire."If Capcom said nothing and released the games as is, people would be upset. If Capcom removed the content from the games, people would be upset. Capcom includes a statement acknowledging the bad content; people are upset."
It is nevertheless notable that Capcom is beginning to grapple with the problems contained in some of its older work. And it may well have an even bigger problem to tackle soon, following the success of Resident Evil 4 remake, which is how it can possibly remake Resident Evil 5: A game where the setting and premise were decried even at the time of release as stereotypically racist depictions of Africa. It won't be able to just stick a disclaimer on that one.
