Capcom's President Wants You To Pay Even More For Your Games

Capcom's President has pointed out that game developments costs '100 times' what it used to, but the cost of software is still too low.

Personally, I feel that game prices are too low. Development costs are about 100 times higher than during the Famicom era, but software prices have not gone up that much. There is also a need to raise wages. Considering the fact that wages are rising in the industry as a whole, I think raising unit prices is a healthy option for business.

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.

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.

ultimately they can charge whatever they want

the market will decide if the price is fair

 

[Damnshow]

Allkeyshop sells these games for cheaper anyway. And couple year old games for dirt cheap. There are multiple ways on how to pay less money for these things. Gaming companies are too damn greedy, they charge you full price then tell you a lot of game features you paid for are actually not available unless you pay extra. Yeah fukk you.

Not really, i read a while back it’s retailers that have dictated that all retail games should cost the same. Something about shelf space and in store promotions. Publishers sign contracts with retailers that make the game prices uniform.

there's a lot of nuance to it. retailers also don't want digital to be cheaper

Let’s be honest…most AAA games are already there if you count the cost of DLC.

 

[Neuromancer]

No inflation is too high.

I'm at the point that if it's not a Souls game, AAA games can get the cdkeys'd

Got burnt more from half baked games than a mating session.

they're selling it for that price day one, with the promise of DLC... and a few days 'early access'
