Steam accounted for over 20% of Capcom's total revenue, nearly double PlayStation's share in the past fiscal year
32m 27s ago in games from automaton-media.comWith digital platforms like Steam allowing games to continue selling for years following launch, accumulated revenue from catalogue titles has become one of Capcom’s crucial sources of profit, and has indirectly enabled Capcom to invest in rebooting previously dormant IPs.
It doesn't hurt that their games typically aren't a million hours long either. Before Village came out, I could play through Resident Evil 1-7 in a couple of months without rushing.
GOG Summer Sale is here!
3h 38m ago in games from www.gog.comYou're free to believe what you like, but it is real. The cost of an input (electricity, server components, employee salaries, etc.) goes up, and the cost of what a company produces has to go up as well.
That's what the order form says here in Brooklyn, which ought to be more expensive than most locations. Maybe it's because they have to compete with the plethora of bodegas we have.
It varies, but it's something like $7.50 to $8. In any case, inflation is a thing. Theme Park was added to the Good Old Games program, which means GOG did real work on it, and it's not egregious to charge a few extra dollars. Plus, sale percentages are variable; sometimes Dragon Age is 50% off, but right now it's 60%; this sale might not be a given game's deepest discount. Are they charging what you're willing to pay? If I was in the market for Theme Park at $0.89, I'd probably still be in the market for it at $3.
Wait until you find out what Subway used to charge for a footlong sandwich.
Despite now being seven years old, Devil May Cry 5 just had its best year of sales yet
22h 58m ago in games from www.videogameschronicle.comIt was the only mainline game I hadn't played at the time. I still haven't played Tactics, Shelter, or 76 and don't really intend to.
European Commission rejects new laws for Stop Destroying Videogames
1d 2h ago in games from www.gamingonlinux.comYou didn't even research the legislative changes for women's suffrage or civil rights, which you probably ought to have been taught in elementary school if you couldn't be bothered to go to Wikipedia. Actual members of European parliament seem to be confident in what they're able to achieve without a win on this citizen's initiative, going from today's press conference, and I trust that they have a better idea of it than you do.
If you don't want to engage with anything that disproves your stance, like new legislation that the civil rights movement fought for, then sure. If the "erosion of IP" is the continued availability of something that people already paid for, and the consequences of that are that now the producer is going to have a hard time selling its successor, then I think that's absolutely the obvious thing that 1.3M people signed a petition to have changed rather than relying on existing laws that clearly aren't serving the consumer. We'll see what parliament comes up with in the Digital Fairness Act and how California's efforts go.
A group could take SWTOR, add content, and have people donate/pay for it despite the IP holder not wanting their IP used that way.
I'm guessing you blocked me, but these are mods, and they've existed for a long time.
And I thought there was a third example in recent weeks, but I'm struggling to find it right now. In place of that, you can look at the implosion of Sony's live service efforts, with Marathon falling far short of making money, and for some reason Fairgames, rumored to now be called Break-In, will be the last one out the door after that Horizon live service. After that, I'd be shocked if they keep trying.
