Game prices are too low, says Capcom exec angielski

Capcom's president and chief operating officer has said he thinks game prices should go up.

Haruhiro Tsujimoto made the comments at this year's Tokyo Game Show, Nikkei reported. TGS is sponsored by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association, a Japanese organisation which aims to support the Japanese industry, which Tsujimoto is currently the chairman of.

"Personally, I feel that game prices are too low," Tsujimoto said, citing increasing development costs and a need to increase wages.

mindbleach,

Lower your budgets, ship more often, stop treating products like services.

Gurei,

I’m already waiting for games to go on sale in order to avoid being an unpaid bug tester, so sure do whatever you want.

Itsamelemmy,

Some are. BG3 could have been double and still worth it. I’d say most capcom games are overpriced as is.

$80 for AAA games is already super expensive. I buy most of my games on sale now.

“Man who stands to gain from an increase in game prices advocates for increase in game prices”.

Seriously though I’m not sure there’s much more room to go on the top end when it comes to prices rises. I’ve got to think at some point you’ll just push more people into buying at sale, or waiting for a game to hit their subscription platform of choice.

Maybe it’s time we re-evaluate what makes a AAA worth £75 in the first place? And, what role do micro transactions have in this system, because anyone who’s ever spent £75 on a new AAA game will know there’s plenty of other ways they try to skin the proverbial cat.

sadreality,

If anything market got so big, we should be getting efficiency of scale...

Greed clowns can't help tho

I don't/can't pay full price for games now as it is so good luck with that.

Patient gamer for life I guess.

Tell that fucknut Tsujimoto to take a fuckin pay cut if he’s concerned about increasing wages. I’m not paying $80-$90 for a fucking game. Hell, I’m still not completely cool with paying $70

NewNewAccount,

Are you buying $70 games though?

Probably twice this year. Everything else is either a subscription or on sale.

Saledovil,

The last triple A game I bought at launch was ‘Watchdogs Legion’, to comemorate my new PC. I figured I just build a new computer, so why not celebrate by buying an expensive game. It was a stupid impulse buy.

Nommer,

I’m still not cool with them raising PC games from $50 to $60 almost 20 years ago just because they could and used the console parity excuse due to their licensing fees. I don’t think I’ve bought a AAA game since EA’s stunts around 2012/2013.

No matter what price they make games, have no illusion that developers will be paid more. This is to pad C level pockets.

smokin_shinobi,

Didn’t these chucklefucks just charge over a 100 bucks for all the content in their TMNT collab? Super fuck that guy.
