Capcom President: "price of games is too low"

[Mike809]

during the famicom days, there was no such thing as DLC/Microtransactions/pre-order bonuses.

 

[Champion]

Games were more expensive in the past.

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

Sony stans.

 

[Rekkapryde]

You are thinking about it backwards.

$50 then would feel like $125 now compared to the rest of goods and services.

Games are clearly not $125 right now.

I should put you being dumb in my sig

But what should I expect from the dude who thinks Japan is behind us timewise.

Yea, but you had to buy 6 versions of SF2 to keep up. DLC = Slightly upgraded 50$ game.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Sony stans.

I don't wanna hear cats bytching about game prices after paying almost a Hundo for SF2 in 1991. Ain't having it.

 

[Champion]

Imagine Ubi, Microsoft, EA, Sony, Etc talmbout “buy this early access game for $60 and we will finish it when we are ready”

nikkas would go crazy :mjol:

Roadmaps and season passes for full priced multiplayer games already exist.

If games go back to $95-$100 a pop i will fukking quit buying any new game at all... Those old cartridges was because oh cartiriges was expensive to make. then when CD's was made it's a cheaper medium so we pay less. now we gotta pay more because AAA games cost more to develop??? who's fukking fault is that??? y'all acting like y'all can't make video games on a budget FOH... Also y'all got the in house devs and resources to make these games how they perform is ON YOU!!!!

Damn breh don’t you have a masters degree or something?

You think the price of goods and services has gone down over the years?

You know the value of money generally goes down over the years, so if something has stayed the same price over time it’s lost value.

Like you are an investor right? If you put $50 in a stock and come back 20 years later and pull that same $50 out, you lost money right?

Sony stanning hasn’t totally broken your brain has it.??

Yes and no.

If a game cost $60 it’s generally expected to be “complete” even if there are plans for the future,

The multiplayer games that do cost full price but don’t have full content usually get shytted on. Hell free games that don’t push enough content get shytted on.

Again.

You invest $60 into something. 20 years later you still got that same $60 did you lose or gain money?
