Uh? Do people not normally get raises regularly? At least to keep up with inflation?

Welcome to late stage capitalism! Where we pat them on the back and say "wow what a great company" for doing what was standard 50 years ago

Cost of living, yes, and if you’re a solid performer, 3% is considered good. However, this is a 5% across the board, and a large increase to entry level.

Cost of living in Japan has seriously spot up lately, and the government has been pressuring companies to raise salaries. So I’m glad to see Capcom doing this.

I used to work in private companies and any annual pay increase was whatever the union managed to negotiate for. It was usually between 1% - 3%. I quit after they moved the office to another city and required everyone to be at the office even though the people I worked with were in different countries. My current job is a government one and for as long as I have worked here I have gotten an annual raise of 10% - 20% and the working conditions are so much better. I'm never working in a private company again.
