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.

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

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.

Are you buying $70 games though?

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

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.
