Capcom president Harushiro Tsujimoto claims that the prices of video games need to increase to meet ballooning development costs.

    The problem that they’re not considering is that if they raise the prices, more people are going to be priced out of buying the games, and will resort to piracy. The cost of living is absurd right now, and I can only afford a handful of $60 games a year.

        I’m not going to argue the ethics of piracy, because the point is that a lot of people will do it if they otherwise cannot afford to buy games. Also, some games just never really go down in price, especially if you’re talking nintendo. To this day Breath of the Wild is still $60 if bought new or digitally.

        Are games just buggy at launch so pirates don’t have a good experience
