Capcom's stock price plummets as its latest financial report shows cratering Monster Hunter Wilds sales
-
RE is meant for pretty looking 1-2 mile stretches of area, static backgrounds and ~15-30 enemies at most.
You know, the kind of engine you’d use for Devil May Cry or Resident Evil.
Monster Hunter Rise was great! But that was a switch port, so you might be right when it comes to something that’s a bit more graphic intensive like MH Wilds and Dragons Dogma.

Capcom has been putting out hit after hit for a decade and one “failed” game, that still sold 10 million copies, does that much damage.
The AAA market is ridiculous.

its share value has still risen 27% over the last 12 months

It’s crazy that 10 million sales is considered a disappointment. Game companies need to lower their expectations. Not everything can be a Fortnite style success.
Shareholders of game companies need to lower their expectations.

As a start, maybe these Capcom fuckwads should stop forcing DRM into their games, including ones that were already released.
Can’t speak for other customers, but I’ve blacklisted them until they stop treating me like a criminal.

Still sold insanely well, don’t think they will learn their lesson

Is RE engine considered bad? Other than this game, every other RE Engine game worked great for me.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 was also a bit of a disaster

not a great idea to gamble away your retirement.

Shoulda made better bets?

that, or safer investments

Well tbills fuck but normies don’t like them for some odd reason

I forgot I bought Wilds… I put 200-400+ hours in every game since the first PSP game, and I think I have 40 hours in Wilds.
I don’t know why… it just didn’t… do it for me? I still bought it, I guess. Maybe it’s worth revisiting. It performed fine on my computer, but I didn’t love how it didn’t have a hub world.

They added the hub world like a month after launch.

Huh. Maybe I check it out again.

Looking at it with the perspective that low effort gacha games and gambling drivel makes for tens of billions sales, it makes sense why investors see this as disappointing. I agree with you wholeheartedly, though. Be it 10 million or 10 billion in profits, it is crazy to see either of those as a “failure.” This whole era of business suits driving game development is insane

It certainly did sell faster than the previous ones.

It’s not the AAA market, it’s the investors
Some day you’ll realize capitalism ruins everything it touches but until then you will blame everything else

Ok so how do you propose that ‘ethical’ software devs prevent the release week bleed that piracy brings?
I mean, I am ALL FOR piracy and have been doing it for years, just it has a marked effect on first week sales
I also think DRM is the wrong answer, but I can’t think of any other answers so maybe you have some?
