Study: Just over half of Japanese developers turn a profit
Feb 18th 2012 9:25PM (Joystiq)maybe it would help if they put more titles on more platforms, while they're at it.
I'm sure that taking the Microsoft money-hat for exclusive JRPGs might help certain games break even- but it certainly doesn't help that game reach a wider audience it really needs to succeed. so many games are being left in Japan as you said- but there are also a lot of great games that are being limited by their availability to niche audiences (PSP isn't very popular outside of Japan, and Xbox 360 is a system widely used by gamers who prefer shooters, sports sims, and PC ports).
I'm not saying that it's the solution to their problems- but it couldn't hurt...
Capcom registers new Darkstalkers trademark in Europe
Feb 15th 2012 9:50PM (Joystiq)So do whatever it is you're going to do, Capcom. But don't ask me to care or participate in unpaid market research. Some companies can ask this of their fans and get a huge outpouring of support- but Capcom has ruined a lot of the goodwill they had fostered over the last 25 years in just the last 3 years. It's really sad.
So release the game or don't. If it's good, maybe I'll buy it- but I won't hold my breath or get my hopes up. I still have a closet full of amazing old Capcom games to keep me busy until they decide to pull their collective head out of the sand.

Feb 3rd 2012 1:42PM (Joystiq)People who realize that it's stupid to pay for a shitty online service. If the 360 were my only gaming device, I'd gladly pay for LIVE, but since I've also got every other platform available- there's no reason to throw money at Microsoft for a lousy service that I rarely used when I did subscribe to it (over 2 years ago).
