    $60 is already pushing it for me, anything more and I’m probably not gonna be buying it. Especially when indie games are cheaper, and I tend to like them more than the AAA $60-or-more games anyway.

      According to this site their CEO made 212 million yen, or about 1.4 million USD, last year, 64% of which were the actual salary. So around 900k USD.
      According to PayScale Capcom pays over 80k CAD, or about 60k USD, on average over all professions in Canada, giving a factor of 11 and change for the CEO-to-worker salary ratio.

      So while their CEO certainly has money to spare, it’s far from the ridiculous ratios we see in some companies. Apparently they also handed out 30% average raises for employees last year.
      So definitely not the worst example of a company.

    I already had a tough time justifying 60$ full released games. I usually always wait For reviews to ensure that if I drop 60$ on a game, I can justify it as a game I know I’ll enjoy. Or just wait for a price drop or sales.

    70$ is too much for me. Any more than that? Honeslty I can’t justify.
