Capcom President: "price of games is too low"

[Peter Parker]

Sometimes I just buy games because steam is faster than pirating and worrying about all the shyt that comes with it(dead links, installation, bugs, updates, etc)

Then shyts become 100 bucks a pop im not buying a motherfukkin thing

Gabe Newell famously said that piracy is a service issue, not a pricing issue. but I guess at some price that would no longer be true. the perceived value is always a factor

True, but if anything it’s gone the other way.

Games are much larger and take much longer to make now.

I’m positive Capcom spent more time and money on SF6 than they did 2 even after inflation is considered. Profit margin would be much less now than it was then.

Capcom right now is doing better than they ever have.

Resident Evil Village drives Capcom to fifth year of record profits

Capcom enjoyed another record year, thanks to key releases such as Resident Evil Village and a Switch-exclusive Monster…

I guess breaking records year after year isn't good enough they want even more.

i mean gamers are the worst consumers on the market so they will getaway with raisin the prices. lol

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Studios take 4-6 years to create a game consisting of 100’s of developers and charge just 60-70 dollars for entertainment that you get at the very least 20 hours out of. Why is that considered “ripping off consumers”?

Thats like a typical dinner for two without drinks. Gamers aren’t marks, they are entitled

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

AAA games are becoming increasingly not worth the investment. I’d be ok with more expensive games if it ment devs were more stable, and willing to take risks in game design.

How many developers were laid off and studios shut down under MS while Matt Booty continued to keep his job?

 

[rabbid]

Welp, do what you gotta do Cap. Thats why these subscription services and seasonal sales will continue to run game on the industry. The market will determine whats sustainable or not

[Womb Raider]

Yeah fukk it. Let's make it 100 dollars a pop

Gamers eat shyt and pretend it's cocoa puffs, so might as well go full nuts in.

Yeah that Avengers thread proved that to me.

 

[Why-Fi]

then we should have 10 hour demos and all the dlc. cant just raise the price and leave everything like it is

I got you @Fatboi1

 

[MoshpitMazi]

How about suck my dikk?

Or how about he can raise prices and i'll continue to wait until they shyt hit GP to play.


I can count on one hand the amount of video games i'll be buying full price and none of Capcom shyt is on that list.

you get 70 damn dollars. figure out how much game you want to give us for that 70 damn dollars and we will tell you if we are willing to go for that. stop the bytching. nobody is forcing you to pad these games out with fetch quests and shyt. 70 damn dollars

Every game is a race to be bigger these days.

It’s easy to say games don’t need to be so big but when things like BG3 are reported as the new standard for AAA games due to its scale, you don’t stand a chance selling your game for $70 if it’s not a huge game.
