According to gameinrealm.com; Capcom has made an announcement regarding it's financial status and it isn't looking good for the company who made such iconic franchises like street fighter and megaman. The amount of money they have left you ask? About 152 million.
COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto Had this to say regarding the news:
“I regret to say that, up to now, we had few plans for the full-scale implementation of DLC.” From here on out, we need to focus on the long-term provision of content starting at the earliest stages of development. Furthermore, in terms of user response, if the additional related content we are providing continually to users online is deemed uninteresting from the start, there will be no ongoing business to pursue. This means that, more than ever before, the creation of underlying content is the key to success.”
Seeing as this is a a transition into the next gen where budgets are getting bigger to make AAA games What do you think is capcoms best stratagy going into the future? More DLC? Taking a more indy budgeted approach or maybe go full digital to curb for all titles that don't sell buttloads of copies on store shelves to cut back on costs?
