and these guys are the leaders in digital only titles (not just digitally distributed hybrid games).

The typical downloadable price for digital-only games on PC is actually $19.99.Ĭlick on any of the top downloadable games above and check their prices. It has to do with different business terms/expectations in that sector and more importantly, generally prevailing pricing of PC digital games versus their console counterparts. It has nothing to do with Piracy concerns. Svensson's complete response follows below :

Last week, Svensson made headlines when he claimed that the retail PC version of Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 was not selling well in North America and had been 'pirated to hell and back.' Arriving five months after the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions, DMC4 PC carried a cheaper price than the console versions-a common retail pricing scheme. The executive listed higher distribution costs on PC as another factor, concluding that '$14.99 represents an appropriate price for the platform' and that gamers 'should probably expect our PC pricing to always be slightly higher than the console equivalent in this space.'Ĭapcom's upcoming slate of downloadable PC and console games include Certain Affinity's Age of Booty and Proper Games' Flock. Though the title will sell for $9.99 when it hits consoles next week, Svensson explained that the $14.99 price for the PC version, also due next week, stems from 'different business terms/expectations in that sector.' He added that 'the typical downloadable price for digital-only games on PC is actually $19.99.' The $5 price hike for the PC edition of GRIN's downloadable platformer Bionic Commando 'has nothing to do with Piracy concerns,' Capcom business development and strategic planning VP Christian Svensson has informed Shacknews.
